Blake Terry - RIP

I got the phone call from Rafe at 11:45 am. today, that they, (I believe this is correct) that Rafe Antil, Terry Migaud, Wil Demuth and Jarred Ulich, made 2 dives to approx. 250fsw at the rig Blake was last seen at. They searched all over the platform to see if Blake may have been tangled to no avail. Rafe also mentioned that it looked like the Coast Guard was heading back in.

For those of you who didn't know Blake, he was a very likable guy that would give you the shirt off his back. I've never seen him without a smile on his face and I have to say, he always treated me with the utmost respect and got the same back. For some reason, I was tuna fishing Thursday and Blakes name came up in conversation with me and the captain several times, nothing but good stuff, in fact I've never heard anyone say anything bad about Blake. And Friday, my screensaver started flipping pictures the way it does, and the picture with Blake, Jonathan and the others with the huge tunas they shot last year popped up; for some reason, the only person I saw in that pic was Blake. I will miss you my friend.

Unhappy Re: Blake Terry - RIP

Sorry to hear about the loss of her friend Rok.

May Blake rest in eternal peace. My condolences to his family and friends.

Blake is the young man without the shirt in this pic doing what he loved - spearfishing.

Blake was an awesome Diver and a good friend. The family says they will continue to search until he is found. He has a kid on on the way and is way to young to go. They are trying to get an ROV down there and have private planes still looking.

Here ares some pictures of him when we had some Great days on the water not long ago

Re: Blake Terry - RIP

Yeah Keith, Louis told me on the phone that Blake has an unborn child coming - how sad for such a happy young man to die - I pray for him and his family through these tough times. Tony
