I knew him going on 20 years, met him on here and been friends ever since. Shared many an email, and private messages. Met him only once at the NTA in Hutchinson KS, was sur enice to meet him in the flesh and sit and jaw with him.
He will be sorely missed.

Rest in peace, Blake. Tearful prayers sent, for those who mourn.

May he rest in peace, I always looked forward to his Christmas story and I want to thank KeithC for posting it. I hope he does it again at Christmas time as I liked to forward that to family and friends.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Jesus wept (John 11:35). The shortest verse in the Bible describes the greatest shower to ever fall upon the earth. A waterfall of mercy and grace for all who You know immeasurably! You knew Lazarus would breathe and walk again and yet you wept full-heartedly. Those who witnessed You that day saw Your sacred fury and Your great sadness, and said; See how He loved him! (John 11:36).
Jesus, we’re so glad you are such a tenderhearted Savior. We grieve the death of a very dear friend, Blake who You knew before time. Thank you for the sincere invitation to; “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28). No one hates death more than you and no one grieves death’s ugly violation more deeply. No one is more looking forward to the day of “no more death” (Rev. 21:4) than You. And no one has done more to put death to death for our sake and for our salvation. Thank you is simply all we can muster right now.
Today we rest our broken hearts on your shoulder, with the peace and comfort that comes from knowing You as “the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25), and because of Your resurrection, we sing in advance of our resurrection, “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” (1 Cor. 15:55). We praise, bless, and honor You, as we rest our hearts in Your loving hands. Amen we pray, in your Mighty name.
And we'll joyously await seeing brother Blake in that morning to come upon the New Earth.

One memory I’ll never forget about Blake’s kindness and the way he could encourage people and move them was the first time I ever did a demo on coyotes I’m not a good public speaker,
It was in Tx I was very nervous I choked up a good bit lost my train of thought
Blake came up to me after and told me he thought I did great offers me a few ideas about public speaking and encouraged me to keep doing them I as Keats looked forward to seeing him I still do demos and I remember what He told me he was a good example of a humble honest and kind Christian man I’ll not forget him if this world had slot more of His type we would be doing very well

Sad news indeed. One of the first fellas I ever chatted with here on T-man.
Lifelong northeast trapper, now in the high desert of Nevada. Fishing, hunting, trapping and on the lookout for Big Brother's black helicopters.
