August 10, 1953 — June 24, 2019

He graduated from Spanish Fork High School and Utah Technical College, earning a certification as a Sheet Metal Journeyman. He spent his career in the HVAC industry. He worked for the Sheet Metal Workers Union for many years where he made many cherished lifelong friends. He then started his own company, Taylor Sheet Metal where he worked until his death. Blake was a master at his trade.



Blake's biggest love besides his wife, children and extended family was his guitar and spending time camping in the beloved mountains surrounding his home. Blake was a 'pond town man' at heart having been raised in Salem, Utah. He gained so many friends whom he loved and that had such an impact on his life. He likewise influenced them with his kind and loving heart.



He loved his nieces and nephews like his own children and was best friends with his 2 brothers and his sweet sister. The last thing he told his children was to always be kind. He taught them by example this principal. There wasn't a single person that Blake met that he didn't love and always tried to make them feel special and that they were his best friend.

Taylor (Nachelle) and Lindsey Cook along with his bonus son, Davies Clarke. His sister, Linda Mortenson, Kent Taylor (Sue) and Deloy Taylor. He also leaves his cherished 13 grandchildren.
