I had spoken with him only once briefly regarding my pineapple sump... he was a cool guy.

I'm sorry to hear this news.

Blake, we'll miss you. Thanks for being part of my rotary family.

I talked with him a few time over the phone, very knowledgeable and friendly.

My thoughts and prayer are extended to his family and friends and anyone
else affected by these unfortunate circumstances.

Wow, that is totally crazy. Total shock, and disbelief. I had talked to him when I dropped my motor off, and we talked about how much he was looking forward to going to the SEMA show, and firearms...I had no indications that something like this was going to happen. Very sad day. My prayers go out to friends and family alike. CJ

I'm not sure what to say. It's such a shame to lose someone like this. Blake was a quirky guy with great talent. He would always lend a hand or his opinion if you asked for it or not! My thoughts go to his family and all of the guys down at Pineapple. Imagine being in their shoes right now. I hope Rob and the boys are getting along ok. When someone finds out, please post the funeral arrangements. Wishing you peace Blake. John

When I first got my first gen, Blake was a huge help to me with figuring things out and understanding how these car worked. We had many one-on-one online conversations that were a wealth of information for me. It was very sad to me. I truly miss his advice and friendlyness to a dumb newbie like I was then. He will be missed.

RIP Blakes. Although you're not here physically anymore. I know you're up there in spirit, and I would like to thank you for the advice you have given me, and I pray that all is well for you in your journey to the next stage....

I only talked with Blake once at an RPNW meeting, and thru several emails a while before. He was a very happy and nice person from what I could see. RIP.

Haven't been on the forum for a while, and this is what I come back to. I can't freakin' believe this. I've only known Blake briefly, but after the RPNW rally last month I was looking forward to getting to know him better. His knowledge of Rotaries seemed mind-boggling and there was no sign things were going poorly for him during the rally. If a drive is set up in his honor definitely count me in. I'd be interested in funeral details as well. Don't know that I can attend, but I'd at least like to send some flowers. RIP my brother!

I never met Blake but from reading his posts he seemed to be a very knowledgable and articulate person. He'll be missed.

My condolences to his friends and family.
