A Wife’s Emotional Tribute

Blake’s wife, Rhea, shared a heartfelt message on Facebook. She described a man whose courage and kindness extended well beyond his badge.

“My husband was ki.. yesterday helping someone in a domestic vio.. situation,” she wrote. “He never cared what it looked like as long as he was doing the right thing. He considered it the highest of honors to lay down his life for others.”

Rhea remembered his softer side — playing basketball with neighborhood kids, rescuing animals, and fixing strangers’ cars on his days off.

“He put everyone above himself,” she said. “He is one of the best people I’ve ever known. I always knew if he was given the choice, he would die protecting someone. I guess God gave him that choice and honored his wishes, I just wish it wasn’t so soon.”
