Blake was extremely outgoing and could make friends wherever he was. He always had a good story to tell or a great joke to share and could make anyone laugh.
Blake was never one to sit still and prided himself in being a hard-working man. He was the former owner of Blake Bowerman & Sons Community Services on Manitoulin Island, former co-owner of B & M Property Maintenance in Tillsonburg, and enjoyed a successful 45+ years in the trucking industry. Right up until his diagnosis in 2021, Blake spent his “retirement” driving dump truck for Dragas Haulage Inc. in Embro.
Blake always loved the open road and the long hauls, but he especially loved road trips and camping with his wife Maria. He greatly enjoyed spending time with family and friends sharing good food and lots of laughs. Blake will be fondly remembered as a strong and loving provider, an amazing cook and will forever hold the title for the world’s best spaghetti!!!
