In addition to being a history buff, Blake loved anything outdoors. He enjoyed spending time on the deer lease with friends, riding ATVs, hunting, and fishing. He was well respected in the oil and gas industry in both the US and overseas. He absolutely loved his music and his cold beer. If you messed with that you had another thing coming. He will be sorely missed by all of his family and friends.
