Basketball Tournament

2010, April 29 - May 2 - Moore Street Corps - Portland, OR

The basketball tournament opened with a meeting or church service on Thursday night, the 29th of April of 2010. Games began on Friday. Day 2 was Saturday, the first of May of 2010. The third and final day of games was Sunday, the 2nd.

Blake Webb died on Sunday, the 2nd of May of 2010. I felt guilty as I was staying the night at his house and found him dead on his bed. So, I was beating myself up a bit for not coming to his room sooner. Sunday was the last day of the 13th Annual Doris Verbout Salvationist Basketball Tournament which was hosted at the Moore Street Corps.

Sore

That might have the last thing Blake wrote on Facebook. We were in his basement living room. We talked about my younger sister. We talked about sports. We stayed up until maybe 01:00 AM that Sunday. I woke up as early as maybe 08:00 AM but then went back to sleep and then kind of sat or lied there until like 11:00 AM or so. I was basically waiting for Blake. I was giving him space. And then I got mad at him inside my head that he was sleeping in. Little did I know that he was dead.

2010-05-02 - Sunday - Blake Webb died during a basketball marathon. Party at the Campbell's.

Eminem, Not Afraid, released on Thursday, the 29th of April of 2010. It's a powerful song about how the journey of life takes you from one thing to another. Don't be afraid. Be brave. Ironically, for me, my world forever changed quite a bit just three days later. I didn't resurrect from the grave like Jesus did. We already past Easter. Instead, quite the opposite in that Blake Webb died that Sunday, the 2nd of May of 2010. In life, stuff happens. God gives you strength to face the unexpected. It's critical to pray, to be brave, and to simply make the best choices you can. Blake lived 23 years and then died. That is Michael Jordan's number.

On behalf of Matt Morrow, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Blake Webb this week end. Had the opportunity to coach him in the Baskeball game for Moore st. Blue. I could really see the love of Jesus in his eyes the way he presented himself on and off the court in those few days I had a chance to know him. Moore st. and Greshem Corps will be in my prayers as well as his family. Posted by Coach Matt Morrow.

2010-05-03 - Monday - 04:22 PM - Facebook History - Jill Mill - Joey Arnold Memorial | Blake Webb died in the morning on Sunday, the 2nd of May of 2010, at his house in Portland, Oregon. I went to his house and found that he was dead. I attempted mouth to mouth and CPR and failed. Soon, the ambulance was there. They were unable to revive him. So, I made this Jill Mill profile for him. I made others as well. I may have named this one and/or others like Blake Webb or Papa Griz, his nickname, or Blake Webb Memorial, etc. But ended up changing the names to some of and/or Facebook terminated some of those pages, accounts, etc. | Blake Webb Memories | Blake Webb Group | Facebook History

Blake Web Memorial

2010-05-04 - Tuesday - 06:00 PM - Moore Street Corp - 09:52 AM - I was not asked to speak but Janae suggested that I put together pictures and especially videos of my and Blake being silly and I didn't but at the same I think Barbara Sloan didn't want any of that or any of me which tore me up inside almost worse than the actual death of Blake himself. I've been rejected by people all my life by countless people. I can tell you for sure that if you've been heart broken, surely I say unto you that I know how you feel. The celebration of the life of Blake Webb on that Tuesday was good. It went on for like two hours. I met Blake's mom for a second. Ronnie Gilden and his red-headed girlfriend hugged and cried with me. Many people came to me to give me support. I didn't need it as much as they did. I struggled because I was not totally shocked by Blake's death because I always felt that he was not healthy. I was having bad feeling about it for months and then was kind of relieved when it did happen.
