The Tory Blake Family
Tory Blake, beloved husband and father, was tragically killed on 7/10/20 in a car accident on his way to work. He was only 36, and he leaves behind a devoted wife, Jen, and 5 cherished kids: Savannah (9), Vera (7), Jasper (5), Isla (2), and Melanie (9 months).
One close friend had this to say about Tory, and how his children reflect their daddy's personality:
"Tory could strike up conversation with a complete stranger and make them feel cherished. That’s Savannah. He was goofy and loved pulling pranks and scaring you out of nowhere. That’s Vera. He was tender hearted and loving. That’s Jasper. He was the life of the party. Wild and free. That’s Isla. The family moved to Tennessee last fall after Melanie was born, so I haven’t had the privilege of spending time with her as she grows, but to me she looks like the spitting image of Tory.
It didn’t matter if you were a man, woman, confident or shy. Tory would talk to you like he was your best friend. He would call you randomly or show up at your house to fix just about anything. He was a jack of all trades and someone you could trust.
God used him in so many beautiful ways as an encourager, a helper, a best friend. We could all see the light of Christ in him."
Jen and the kids are devastated by the loss of their beloved husband and daddy, Tory. Like the virtuous woman described in Proverbs 31, Jen's "worth is far above rubies." You won't find a person more deserving of your generosity.
Please donate to ease their financial burdens in this very difficult time, share this campaign with your friends and family, and pray for Jen and the kids.
