Although I didn't really know Blake, I know he was a great guy. One day last month he bumped into me at school and was very sorry about it... I am sadden at the knowledge about his passing. I was fortunate to of met him though for that few minutes. I always seen him around school with a bright smile. He will be missed for sure by those close to him. His family is always going to be in my prayers.
