I've known Blake literally his entire life. We weren't cousins by blood, but cousin through family and through love. I loved him as though it were through blood. The last few weeks we spoke about our past family get togethers and also the people we missed that had gone to Heaven before us. He spoke of his daughter Savanna with such happiness and of his immediate family. Especially his mom Bobbi and his dad Jay, and his siblings. He was a proud Vet and I loved hearing his stories. Some were quite funny ones. We'd laugh til we couldn't laugh anymore and I'd take my old rear-end to bed by 9;30. He'd laugh at me then calling me old. RIP Cuz- I love you and will always ALWAYS cherish the last few weeks we really got to know each other. Until I see you again, give all them Haleys & Nix's hugs from me.

I knew Blake in his teenage years. He was always very kind and sweet and had the best smile. I am very sad for your family and everyone that was ever touched by Blake. It is truly a loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
