(I've tried to type my feelings and thoughts about Blake, but nothing quite sounds right, so here is the obituary.)Blake Derek Johnson, age 17, passed away on November 2, 2010 in his home in Pleasant Grove, UT. Blake was born on Dec. 18, 1992 in Idaho Falls to Ken and Gina Johnson.
Blake enjoyed being in the outdoors, he was a talented and avid snowboarder and skateboarder. He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in his Young Men's organization and participated in annual high adventure activities.
Blake had a very infectious laugh and smile. (Camile: that's an understement! - anyone who talks about Blake mentions his awesome smile. If I was 10 years younger and not related I would have been in love!) He was always surrounded by his friends he loved and cared for. He touched many people's lives through his kindness and example.
Blake was a senior at Pleasant Grove High School. He was commonly on the Honor Roll and took pride in his good grades.
Blake is survived by his parents, Ken and Gina Johnson; brothers, Brandon and Brigham; sister, Emma; and grandparents, Randy and Lynette Johnson and Gene and Judy Moshberger.
