Blakes proudest accomplishment was being a daddy to his girls. For almost ten years he loved caring and pouring life memories into his girls, they were his reason to live, his world. Blake had a associates degree in Information Technology from Fountain Head College of Technology Knoxville. He was an employee of Phillips and Jordan for four years. He was proud to be a member of the Blount County Sherrifs office Explorer Program. He served the community as Leutinant of his group until he aged out, he had a great love for law enforcement and all those who serve.
Blake was preceded in death by his grandparents, Charles and Dorthy Gifford and Howard and Laura Brantley.
He leaves behind to cherish his memory his loving parents Carl and Rene Gifford; brother, Brandon (Rebekah) Tyler; children Blair Gifford and Alaysia Gifford, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins who loved on him and encouraged him through difficult times. His best friend Joe McCarter who mentored him and was the best example of what friendship should be.
The family will have a Graveside Service to honor the legacy of Blake at Doston Memorial Baptist Church, with final arrangements to be incomplete at this time. Memorial contributions can be made to Brandon Tyler executor of his children's trust fund. Online condolences and fond memories can be extended to the family at www.sherwoodchapel.com
