FROM JESSICA CHANCE BROWN
About 3 1/2 years ago my kids & I was in situation with a landlord that was taking advantage of me and had us living in unsafe circumstance… As a single mom I didn’t know what to do working two jobs struggling to get by with four kids someone introduced me to Blake Bowen. I explained my situation to Blake as he was listening he mentioned that he had a trailer park he had just bought that had some old run down trailers that wasn’t really ready to be lived in but he would do what he could to help me! About 3 weeks later Blake calls me and tells me that he’s got a trailer He’s fixed up to be livable for me and my kids. I paid him the deposit and had no idea how I was going to come up with the first month’s rent Blake with no hesitation told me don’t worry about it Just pay me when you can. Second month rolls around and I’m finally caught up! After renting from Blake all these years and any obstacle that life might have threw at us he is always been the most understanding landlord I’ve ever known! Blake was more than just our landlord though he’d often call my husband Elmer Brown and crack jokes with him how he was the trailer park mayor. Or anytime that a situation happened in the trailer park and he couldn’t get there fast enough he’d call Elmer as backup! He wasn’t just our landlord he became a friend of ours! Shortly after passing the crime scene with no idea of what had happened I got a phone call that shattered my heart! Blake was the most giving caring hard-working person that was the true definition of getting it out of the mud! My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife his two daughters and his mother I can’t imagine how they must feel. I can’t seem to wrap my head around how anyone so heartless could take his life when he literally would have done anything to help them! Rest in peace Blake you will definitely be missed
