Blake was raised in Medicine Hat, Alberta, and chose architecture as his career.

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.

He could usually be found at the Frisbee golf course “training for the Olympics”.

Blake was a good friend to our son. We met him a few years ago when our son purchased a “fixer upper” and Blake helped us with the renovations. He will forever be remembered as a good friend. Our deepest condolences to you, Blake’s spirit lives on.
