Blake was a kind and sweet young man. My deepest condolences to the entire family.
I pray the peace that surpasses all understanding surround his family in this time. I don’t know him but he reminded me of my son when I saw his photo in the Cheshire patch. He looks like a very happy kid. Praying for your family and that God may give you comfort in this time.
May you and your family find comfort in the lord and loved ones.
