Bring Blake Home: Support His Final Journey

It is with broken hearts that we share the devastating news that our beloved Blake, only 23 years old, was found in Colorado after being reported missing. Blake was full of life, laughter, and love—someone who was always joking around. Our family is shattered by his loss, and we are now faced with the heartbreaking task of bringing him home to Nebraska so we can lay him to rest.

We are asking for help with the unexpected costs of:

• Transporting Blake home

• Funeral and memorial expenses

• If additional funds are raised, creating a scholarship in Blake’s name

Our hope is that this scholarship will not only support other young people in following their dreams, but also be used to raise awareness about the dangers of hiking or traveling alone, and to provide resources for preparation and safety. We want to help educate others on the precautions that can make all the difference—so that no other family has to endure this kind of loss.

Every donation, no matter the size, means the world to us. Even if you can’t give financially, sharing this page helps us honor Blake’s memory, keep his light shining, and maybe even save a life in his name.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this unimaginable time.
