My deepest and heartfelt condolences to Blake's family and the many people that were entertained by, and loved his unique spirit. I don't ever recall Blake being upset. I guess he just understood that life was for living and his happy-go-lucky demeanor is one thing I will always remember and appreciate about Blake.
However, the thing I will most remember is how deeply he loved his family (and his friends). Being a father of 3 boys myself, I was especially attuned to the way he beamed, with extreme pride, about his 2 sons. He was just so proud and I am grateful to have experienced and connected with this part of Blake.
May we all find peace in our faith that we'll see Blake and other loved ones again.

I am so sad. I remember the day he welcomed me to his family's house for dinner. Wishing my sincere condolences to Carolyn, Ramona and all his family.
The Norton's love Blake - So sorry for your loss. We had so many fun and great experiences with him.
He is the ultimate friend - very loyal and true. Also a True Blue Cougar. Loved him for that.
So grateful of our knowledge of the plan of salvation and that we will indeed see him again.
Can't wait too tee it up with Blake again.
Ramona so sorry we couldn't make it to the services - Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family at this time.
