Alecia, Blake was wonderful child and young man I hope you know I was really proud of him. Dayne and I really miss him. Chuck, Lori and Alecia thank you for allowing me to be part of your life and Blakes. Blake enjoyed 21 years of life to the fullest, he touched everyone in his own special way.

Lori and Chuck- I am so sorry for your pain. Blake was so lucky to have you two in his life. There is nothing better in this world than to feel the love of a grandchild. On the same note I am sure that nothing could hurt worse than this does. I love you guys and will be praying for healing and time.
Love,
Renee

Alecia-No words could ever express the way I can only imagine that you must be feeling. Blake was a great kid and I remember the first day I ever laid eyes on that tiny little baby. He was so precious and grew into a handsome young man. They always say everything happens for a reason and this just does not make any sense. I am here for you and just wish I could even bare a fraction of your pain just to make it easier on you! I love you and am truly blessed to be your friend. If you need anything ever- even just to talk I am only an e-mail or phone call away!
Love, Renee

Words can't express my feelings for Blake. He was one of my dearest friends. He was the sweetest person with the kindest heart. And by far the funniest person I've ever known. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, Especially Alecia and Lori. I know Blakes is looking down on us right now and knows how much we loved him. God rest your sweet heart Blake! You'll be in my heart forever.
Love,
Rebecca

Dear Blake,
I'm always going to miss seeing you in that gym. You affected my life as well as many others in such a great way. It's tough seeing you leave but i know you are in a better place. Love you bro.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
