Blake Allyn Bluhm was born August 31, 1997 to Robert and Cory (Armstrong) Bluhm in Hutchinson. He was raised in Gibbon and graduated from GFW in 2016. After high school, Blake joined Southview Living Center as a personal care assistant. He continued working there for over eight years and became a team lead, where he took great pride in helping the residents and sharing his famous cookies. Outside of work, Blake loved collecting and working on motorcycles, music, grilling and cooking, reading, computers, and going shopping at Walmart. Blake especially enjoyed collecting, whether it was guns, survivalist equipment, hats, clothes, shoes, and more. He was also an avid history buff, especially regarding wars and conflicts. Many cherished memories were made going to the Fagen Fighters WWII Museum with his Papa, going to Graceland with his Nana and cousin Micah, and his dry humor and zingers. Blake will be dearly missed by those that knew him. To have known Blake was to love Blake. Blessed be his memory.
