Troy Duane Blake

Obituary: Published in the Tri-City Herald on September 19, 2019

Troy Duane Blake, a long-time resident of Burbank, WA, went to be with The Lord his Savior on September 14, 2019 at the age of 67. He fought a long and difficult battle with leukemia, but cancer didn't win, as he was truly blessed in life and beyond. He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Vicki, with 4 children and 12 grand-children: Tom Blake (Anika) Brylee and Bennett, Kristen Ditty (Greg) Isaic, Ethen, Deven and Averi, Travis Blake (Kim) Troy, Tanner and Madison, and Stacey Kennedy Austin, Shaelynn and Cameron. He is also survived by brother Jerry Blake, sister Pat Ayde, and was preceded in death by brother Les Blake. Troy was a Vietnam Veteran in the US Navy, and retired as a Supervisor from Boise Cascade, Wallula after nearly 40 years. The most important things in his life were God and his family. Starting when his children were very young, every Sunday was Family Day, which continues to this day. He cherished his annual trips to the Oregon Dunes, tinkering in his shop, playing guitar (especially with brother Les), and driving his retirement convertible with his beautiful wife. Troy's Celebration of Life will be held at CG Public House and Catering on Saturday, October 5th at 1pm.
