My deepest condolences to Sean and his family. I have worked with your brother on and off since 2000 he could drive a semi going backwards just as good going forward never as much as a scratch on any truck he drove for me. We like many had our ups and downs but your brother always went the extra mile when our customers needed him to do so. I am sure Blake and Robert Tomlinson are MF me as I write this message and laughing up a storm. Blake you are in the wind Peace!

I have worked with Blake for some number of years on and off, we’ve shared laughs and meals out there on the side of the highways, in material yards , these people become like family to you after decades behind the wheel, he was an excellent driver and knew his way around any truck you put him in…. If it had tires he could drive it! my favorite saying of his was GIVE ME A REAL TRUCK A KENWORTH W9 ( 900 long nose ) NOT THIS NEW STUFF THAT SOINDS LIKE A DYSON VACCUM CLEANER lol! He called it like he saw it, he had a big heart hidden under that tuff outer shell and I’ve seen it many times. If he would be down to his last dollar he would feed his dog before he would feed himself he was just a great person! YOU MEET HUNDREDS OF DRIVERS IN YOUR CAREER BUT BLAKE IS ONE MAN ILL NEVER FORGET! my deepest condolences to the whole family!!!!
