And can it be that in a world so full and busy the loss of one creature makes a void so wide and deep that nothing but the width and depth of eternity can fill it up. -Charles Dickens Blake was a kind soul who never met a stranger. Blake will forever be remembered for his independent spirit and sense of humor. His love of hockey was second only to his love of family and friends. Blake became a big brother at age 9 and was so excited to have a baby brother. Little did he know that he would have a total of five younger siblings to look up to him. He began playing guitar around age 9 and found happiness in strumming to rock and alternative songs. His heart was so pure and kind and showed in his sincere love of animals. Any dog or cat in Blakes view was loved and petted. Blake is survived by his loving family, including son Jordan; and siblings Brandon, Bailee, Mason, Clay, Mackenzy and Cambell; grandparents Pat Buol, Cindy Boeckelmann and David Cook; and cherished aunts, uncles and cousins. Blake was preceded in death by his beloved grandfather, Jack Buol. A celebration of Blakes life was held Sunday, March 28 at Kutis Funeral Home in St. Louis. Memorial donations in lieu of flowers may be made to ACPD, 12430 Tesson Ferry Road, 63128.
