Blake Williamson Obituary
Blake Michael Williamson, of Kaukauna, became one of God's most precious angels on Monday September 9, 2013. Blake was our angel on Earth for a brief 15 years; born on June 4, 1998 to Todd and Leah (Coffey) Williamson.
Blake grew up as a boy full of compassion and great personality. He filled our hearts with love and joy every day that he was with us. Blake made his parents very proud and both of his sisters looked up to him. With a very close immediate and extended family, Blake was more than a son, a grandson, a brother, a nephew, a cousin, and a friend to all of us. He was an inspiration to all the great things life has to offer and he lived his life by offering happiness, humor, and love to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Blake was the epitome of the All-American boy. He was extremely talented in sports, the outdoors, and making people laugh. From the time Blake started playing golf, basketball, football, and wrestling, he showed great ability and understanding in sports and astounded his coaches, family, and friends with his talent. Much of what stands out when thinking about Blake was his love of the outdoors. He loved jet skiing, snowmobiling, swimming, dirt biking, go-karting, four-wheeling, campfires, hunting, and fishing. Blake found the love of the outdoors through his father Todd, uncles, and cousins who were always willing to take him to "the land" where the family cabin allowed Blake to create and cherish memories that reinforced his passions.
Blake and his legacy are survived by his parents, Todd and Leah; sisters Faith and Kendall; grandparents: Joyce Williamson, Mike and Sandy Coffey; aunts and uncles: Debra, Jay (Diane) and Gordon (Sara H.) Williamson, Pamela Valk, Dawn Hietpas, Cari (Gary) and Christopher Coffey; and cousins: Haley and Daniel Williamson, Autumn, Skyler, Pierce, and Aeson Valk. Charlie, Chad, Ryan and Jordan Hietpas, Morgan, Parker, and Gage Williamson, Tyler and McKenna Baeten.
Blake was preceded in death by his grandfather, Gordon Williamson.
Visitation will be held Friday September 13, 2013 at HOLY CROSS PARISH (309 Desnoyer St. Kaukauna) beginning at 2:00pm until time of Vigil service at 6:00pm.

Blake's passing has left a void in our lives, but his memory will forever be in our hearts. We love you Buddy.

Don't let anybody tell you how to heal. Your son will always be with you. I feel so bad for you! Take care and be there for each other.

September 13, 2013
at this time all that can be done is to take one breath at a time, expect no more out of yourself, give yourself no timeline for grieving give no "do's" and "don'ts" because everybody's grief is different. God will take you through but only one breath at a time. Breathe in, breathe out, if he gives you another breath take it, it's his way of saying life will go on for you, it will never be the same, but it will go on. I lost my son 2 years ago and I still live by the one breath at a time, it makes life manageable.

To the Williamson Family,
I coached Faith in Volleyball throughout her middle school years and although I never had the chance to meet Blake I know that Faith was an extraordinary kid that I was so happy to get the opportunity to coach for 3 years, I have never seen anyone so happy and smiley and she just had the most wonderful spirit about her that I will never forget. Her smile was contagious and I will always remember her for that. It sounds like your son was a wonderful extraordinary kid as well and my deepest sympathy goes out to your entire family.. I cannot imagine what you are going through but may God give you comfort during this difficult time and may the memories push you through. I have been thinking and praying for your family. God Bless.

We will continue to pray for him and for all of you.
