Remembering Blake: Candlelight Vigil

Please join SWVA Pride as we gather to honor and remember the life of Blake, a beloved member of our community. Blake brought joy, creativity, and authenticity to everyone who knew him, and his loss is deeply felt.

Together, we will share stories, hold space for one another, and light candles as a symbol of the love and light Blake shared with us.

Friday September 5, 2025, 7:00
Southwest Virginia Pride's Vega Community Center

All are welcome. This will be a safe, supportive space for friends, family, and community to come together in remembrance. Candles will be provided.

In moments like these, community matters most. Let’s stand together for Blake and for each other.
