Greetings everyone. This is the family of Cliff Blake here — our beloved Husband, Father, Brother, and Grampa. Cliff died on Monday morning, March 16. He went exactly as he hoped, at home surrounded by family. Cliff wanted you to know that “ALS got me—that bastard!”
There are a lot of people from across his life that he wanted to talk to about his ALS diagnosis, but it progressed so quickly. He understood that the sheer number of friends he had surpassed the reality of his energy to reach out.
Know that he thought often and highly of his many, many friends and colleagues from every corner of his big and remarkable life. Please keep sharing your photos, stories, and memories. We are certain he is feeling your outpouring of love.
In lieu of flowers (we have cats)… Cliff specifically expressed that he would like you to donate to the Compassionate Care ALS organization. We’ll share details about his Celebration of Life with everyone soon on his Facebook page.
Be kind and do something for others in Cliff’s honor – and turn the volume up while you’re doing it.
Love,
The Blake Family
