Despite our anguish and heavy hearts, the news that our brilliant and sparkling spotlight, Blake Dawson Cross, had died away had to be communicated. Blake was born on June 24, 2005, and he has been a bright example in our lives ever since.
His family consists of his parents, Landon and Leah Krauss; his brothers, Hayden and Lucas; his grandparents, Melvin and Debbie Krauss, Karen and Brian Drysdale, Nana Jill Kirby, and the special angel above Papa Dave; his uncle Ryan with Aunt Oncross (cousins Avery and Camlyn), Aunt Kimmy and Uncle Curtis Hadfield (cousins Connolly and Caden), and the special angel above Papa Dave; and the special angel
Blake has exceptional dance abilities, which he also enjoys doing in his leisure time. Anyone who has heard him perform knows that he devotes a lot of time and effort to honing his craft, and everyone thinks that it is well worth it. His dance family has always been very unique and vital to him. He regards them as his second family.
Blake is only beginning to characterize his character because of his kind personality and free spirit. Always creative, always thoughtful, a one-of-a-kind thinker. We shall miss having him with us, and no words can fully explain how much we love and miss him.
The details of our good friend Blake’s memorial ceremony will be announced at a later date.
