Since I am a family member I will respond to this post.
I cannot believe some of the cruelness that I find in people these days. Does it really matter the "who, what, when, where, and why's. There is more to this story than what you read in this paper. The bottom line is a 19 year old good kid is gone and his entire family is devastated. Where is the compassion?? I hope to God this tragedy never lands itself on your doorstep.
This is a very hard time for all of his family and friends. And i think it is the wrong time to be asking questions. You dont know what was going on, im sure. Please keep his family, and friends in your prayers.
I think it's terrible when people tear apart someones tragic events in their lives. I'm sorry for the family and friends of this young man. I hope the people that commented never has any one picking apart their decisions about their private life- or do I? hum
BLAIK, HAD FAMILY & FRIENDS WHO LOVED HIM CARED & SUPPORTED HIM .THIS IS,NT A TIME TO MAKE STATEMENTS WHEN YOU DON,T THE STORY IN THIS YOUNG MANS LIFE & I DO. BLAIK WAS ALITTLE BIT OF A REBEL. DIDN,T ALWAYS FOLLOW THE RULES. HE LIVED A LIFETIME IN EVER MOMENT HE HAD . A BIG FRIENDLY SMILE. A CUTE SCHOOL BOY FACE & A BROTHERSHIP TIME WILL NEVER ERASE. WE MISS YOU IN OUR HEARTS.
This whole situation is horrible for everyone. The family especially. We also must keep in mind the emergency workers (Fire,Police and EMS) that respond to these calls and must deal with this also. I would think that it would not be easy to have to do that kind of work. Thank GOD for these people.
Come on people!!!! Have some compassion! This family has lost a nineteen year old! Regardless of the circumstances, they are greiving! I am not questioning your religious background, but spirtually speaking, this family needs our prayers, not our questions!
some kids run away and he is 19. plus some kids stay gone for days without any contact w/ family. who knows their situation or what kind of family support they have.
I am 28 with four kids of my own...I can't imagine being the parents of this boy...but if he was only 19 and no one had seen or heard from him in 3 days?? why hadn't they reported him missing. My mom freaks out if she calls me and can't get me...after three days she would have had me on Nancy Grace!!
i can't believe his parents didn't even put out a missing report on him and his grandparents had to find him.thats sad. i'm praying for everyone.
Oh this is so sad. This same thing happened in the Delta area a few years back. His family has my sympathy.
I have grandchildren and I just can't even imagine the horror.
My prayers go out to family and friends.
