Blake Alexander Trutsch

I met Blake and Jennifer the summer of 2021 when they camp hosted for us. From the moment I met them both, I was taken by their effervescence. Blake became a part of my daily life that summer, as I fondly remember him coming in every day to greet me and chatting over our respective coffees. I remember warm, campfire filled nights seeing Jen and Blake walk by with their little pack of pups and thinking how beautiful they all were. I remember calling Blake for mechanical issues and him solving them easily and quickly every-time, never once panicking. Blake was the kind of man that made you wish for your own “Blake”. The way he and Jen engaged with each other and clearly valued and loved each other was something I always remarked at. He made people’s lives easier, funnier and made the world smarter. Blake was a genuine, kind, loyal soul whose loss has and will continue to affect me deeply. I considered him a friend, regardless of the time between us speaking and will feel his absence greatly. The world is a little bit darker without his light shining in it. To Jen- you are truly one of the strongest, bravest, smartest and kindest women I have had the pleasure of knowing and I have always valued the time we have spent together. Laughing, knitting and farmers markets will always come to mind first when I think of you. I truly appreciate you and want to be able to support you in whatever ways you need/want. Reach out anytime. Love, Syd
