June 19, 1997 – October 12, 2020

 

A private memorial service to celebrate the life of Donald F. Blake, 23, of Coos Bay was held. Private cremation rites were held at Ocean View Memory Gardens in Coos Bay.

Donny passed away unexpectedly, on October 12, 2020 in North Bend as a result of a car accident. He lived in Coos Bay most of his life. He had attended local schools: Madison Elementary, Bunker Hill Elementary and North Bay Elementary. Donny loved his friends and family and would do almost anything for them. People were the most important thing in his life. He worked as a direct support person for Star of Hope. He had always wanted to go to culinary school because he loved to cook for people. He had recently just gotten his dream job when the Little Italy owner took him under his wing and told him he would teach him the professional craft. Donny was very excited about the prospect and was going to move to an on-call position in his current job in the residential facilities.

Donny loved going to the beach and found it very comforting. He loved reading and writing. Donny had a profound faith in God and attended many of the Coos Bay churches as well as other churches in Oregon. Donny had lived many places, including Portland, Salem, Eugene, Grants Pass and Maryland, and made lifelong friends wherever he went. He loved animals and had spent time in his youth on a horse farm, which were some of his favorite memories. His other favorite memories were just the times hanging out with his family and friends. He had a great deal of close friends in the Coos Bay area.

Donny is survived by his sisters, Maressa Rosales, Selena Gamez, Jasmine Walsh and Destiny. He is also survived by his daughter, Eden; mother, Lydia Casa; niece, Grace; nephew, Jeriah; and grandfather, Donald Sommerfield.

Donny was preceded in death by his grandfather, Delmar Blake and grandmother Debbie Sommerfield. It is the hope that he is with her now and AT PEACE.

In our weakness, we find strength,

In our sadness, we find happiness,

In our struggles, we find outcome,

Just keep moving….you will not always struggle…

You will not always understand.
