My deepest sympathy for your loss. There are no words that can ease the pain of losing someone so beloved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory, because those who fall asleep in death are precious in his eyes. Psalms 116:15

I'm so sad to hear of a 17-year-old passing. I didn't know Blake but just looking at his photos, he seems like a person I would want to know, he seems like a happy person and may prayers and comfort be with your family. I know how it feels to lose a family member I lost my dad just 5 years ago at age 10 and the same year lost my grandmother due to breast cancer she was like my best friend. I'm so sorry about your loss and may God comfort you during these hard times.

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. May the wonderful treasures fill your hearts with love and bring you peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. 1 Thessalonians 4:14.

I remember how me and Blake shared a table in 6th grade English class and how we would continuously tried to make each other laugh or just smile and it worked for on me every time because he had a very contagious smile that would just brighten my day. Even though I didn't have classes with him for three years I would still see him in the halls and if I was having a bad day then his smile would bright my day and make it better because every time I saw him he had a big grin on his face that would just make me feel better. I will miss seeing his face around school.
