Tributes To Blake Lindbloom
Below are some of the statements shared across social media users’ timelines on the death of Lindbloom.
“Our hearts are heavy tonight as we share the passing of retired #JCSO Deputy Blake Lindbloom.
Blake bravely fought cancer for the last few years. His loving wife and young daughter gave him strength until the end.
Blake dedicated his adult life to selflessly serving others. He started as a volunteer firefighter in 2005 and worked his way up to Master Firefighter. He joined the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office in 2015 and was excited to join our Patrol division shortly before his diagnosis.
He will be forever remembered and loved by his law enforcement brothers and sisters. Please keep his family in your prayers.
Thank you for your service to our community Deputy! It was an honor to serve with you.”
“I’m so sad to hear of an old friends passing today. Blake Lindbloom was a beautiful soul. Few people have made me laugh as hard and made me feel as welcome as Blake did in our time together in track and field at Neosho.
I remember how sad we all were when we learned he wasn’t coming back for our sophomore season because he had decided to become a fire fighter instead. Blake was a genius. He could have done anything he wanted. I remember asking him “why firefighting?” and him simply telling me he wanted to help people. This had become his passion and we all mourned the loss of his absence for that second season but were happy for him for pursuing his dreams.
Unbeknownst to Blake, I cheated off of him an entire semester in college algebra. Every. Single. Test. The guy got me an A and to this day I still can’t solve for X. I wish I could tell him that now. I know he would laugh. Sorry Professor Babb. I was stupid and all I wanted to do was run.
There was a meet I badly injured a toe during a race and the athletic trainer had tried everything he could but finally took out a scalpel blade to try and evacuate some of the blood from my foot. Blake appeared out of nowhere— to this day I have no idea why he was even nearby. In true Blake fashion he spent 30 min just bullshitting with me to distract me from the sketchy operation my foot was going under. We have video of this on one of those old school recorder tapes. I need to find it.
On the track team we always joked about me being an honorary thrower. I’d spend more time with the throwers than the runners throughout stretches of the season. They became one of my track families and Blake was a big part of that. I even threw discus in a meet as a gag. I had no clue what I was doing and Blake dumbed it down in a matter of about 30 seconds. “Zane come here I’m going to make this as simple and stupid for you as possible so that even you can understand.” I had a pretty decent throw that day. The crowd of 10 people ooh’d and aww’d and we all cracked up. Coach Schmitz I’d love to know how far that actually went because all I remember is it soaring 🤷🏼♂️. I loved being able to sneak away from the actual track in between my events and watch my throwers make leaps and bounds that first year. It was truly awesome the work you guys put in.
As the years went on Blake and I didn’t get to keep up as much as I would have liked. From the time he went on to pursue his career in fire fighting to present day he’s always been a person I’ve admired from a distance and wish I’d gotten to talk to more. He went on to have a beautiful family and spread his positive energy to all those that knew him. He was one of the nicest people I’ve ever known and I wish he had more time with us to make the world a better place. The times he and I did speak in our adult years I will always remember.
To his family: I’m very sorry for your loss. You may not know me, but you will always have a friend in me. To our Neosho family: my heart breaks. I loved Blake but I know how much he meant to you all. Over the years I’ve seen this team photo circulate and it’s always one of my favorites even though I wasn’t present because I know how much love was in that room the time it was taken. Thank you for sharing it Alex McKinney.
Cancer is terrible and takes some of our best away. I was devastated to learn when Blake was first diagnosed. He fought his battle for a long time. He has passed but unlike many others he has left his impact on the world and his name and memory will live on. He was only a few months older than me today. Gone way too soon. RIP Blake. I will miss you.
