Blake loved to learn and received many accolades including the Tau Sigma Delta Medal, Outstanding Thesis Award, Critical Regionalism Competition (2nd place), and he obtained his Sustainable Building Advisor certification (SBA). Blake was a kind and caring person. Family and friends were of the utmost importance to him. Blake was artistic and creative, and he loved a challenge.
