Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Blake,
On Weds. Sept. 3rd my grandfather passed away. this has been such a hard time for me! But one thing helping me through is knowing that you are up there with him watching over us. I was reminded again of what a huge family we have in the department, as all the men in uniform showed to pay their respects to my grandfather and family! Please do me a favor Blake, take care of my Pawpaw. he meant the world to me and my family! He was larger than life. I loved him with all my heart and soul! Please remind him everyday that we miss him so much and the world just wont be the same without him. Please give him a hug and kiss for me and tell him everyday that I love him! make sure to tell him that he was my heart and soul and a day wont pass that I wont miss him. Every now and again whisper in his ear.. Pawpaw I love you big as the sky. and make sure he has an endless supply of mountain dew. Also I gave your parents both a hug at his funeral.. as I hugged them I prayed you felt them hugging you! I love you 591 amd miss you as well. Take care of my pawpaw!

Hey Blake, Its been a while since I have had a chance to say hey. I still can't believe it has been 3 years. My heart still breaks everytime Dawn and I talk about you. The girls have grown up so much, Jewell has your attitude and stubborness, Haven is such a remarkable girl, her personality just shines. I know have a son, he just turned 13 months on the 27th. I also have been with Austell PD now for about a year. I love it, but I think of you everyday and how in just a split second our worlds can be turned upside down. I saw your parents yesterday, they are such amazing people. Your mom brings such great light into my life. I know you are watching over us daily, I love and miss you so much. See you in heaven brother!

Blake,
I was reading through all the reflections tryin to find my poem I wrote for you. Reading through all these was a bittersweet experience. I miss you everyday! I know that you are in Heaven looking down and watching over your family in the department! I want you to know that my brother has turned into one of the most amazing young deputies out there! He reminds me so much of you! Strong and eager to learn. I am so proud of the man he has become! He is working so hard! He made it to the S.E.R.T. team and is doing a great job! You would be so proud! My dad is still a hard ass! But he is greatly respected still! My mom still works hard in that yard year round to keep it looking good. From time to time week look out in the back yard and remember your hard work! Thank you again!!! Bryan Tolbert and I started dating awhile back. he has grown into a great young man as well! He started mandate few weeks ago and is doing so GREAT! I know he will make a great deputy in the future! I love you Blake and miss you greatly!!! Remember "Stand Brave Young Angel you will fulfill God's oath. To protect and Seerve you will faithfully do both"

Blake,

I am just now getting around to being able to write this without falling apart! I still remember how I felt that day! This should never have happened! We have visited your grave side so many times, but still feel no relief.
I hope your family is strong and able to face each day. I dont think I could handle life if anything ever happend to my husband! Your life and death impacted my life so much, my husband and I decided to name our son after you, blake stepehen.......
I hope he will grow up to be a wonderful person with lots of love and caring! RIP Blake

Blake, I can remember the day you started at DCSO in the Jail on my shift. You were the TEAM; Blake, Catlin,Fred &
Vickie ( The best ) You all were like my sons. Remember Mothers day when you guys give me the rose and I remember all of the short jokes.
I have since left DCSO. But my heart and love is still in Law Enforcement, I now work for Chief Chuck Martin, he is doing good, he is the greatest! You would be proud of him. I think of you alot and the good days we all had.

I know that I am late, but believe me I was thinking of you on the 24th of February, I was actually riding with 584 that night and I know you were watching over everyone on the road. There is not a day that goes by that someone isn't saying something about you. You are always on my mind, I miss hearing you on the radio and miss your smiling face. We all love you and miss you tremendously. Please keep an eye on all of us, you know we need you, and we ALWAYS will!!!!!

Blake here we are and it has been 3 years and we are all thinking about you at the office. We just did a moment of silence for you both on the patrol radio and in the jail.
I hope that you heard it, and I feel that you did because we feel that you watch over us all.
Brother you have been missed by all of us and you will always be thought of by us. God Bless you and your family.

Blake,
As I am sitting here in the 911 center in the same place that I was the night you paid the ultimate scrafice, I can't help but wince when I hear the tone out commerating the moment you left us. I say a special prayer for your dad and mom and all your friends that miss you so much. So Blake, know that we still remember you and I doubt there is a day goes by that you are are not thought about. God Bless all those who are missing you still and keep watch on your Guys and Girls patroling Douglas County. Thank you again for the job you did so willingly and the price you paid.
