Eventually, he fulfilled his dream of owning his own plumbing and heating business.

Blake was an avid history enthusiast who especially enjoyed studying the Civil War and the World Wars. He had a passion for Native American history, artifact hunting, and genealogy. He also enjoyed watching NASCAR races and spending time with his faithful dog, Charlie.

Above all, Blake treasured his family. He will be remembered for his strong work ethic, his love of history, and the many memories he created with those he loved. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
