Blake Sumego, Tallmadge, OH—The Falcon community mourns the loss of Blake Sumego, a beloved senior at Field High School, who passed away recently at just 18 years old. Blake was not only a talented athlete and proud member of the football team, but he was also admired for his kind heart, mechanical talents, and love for his family and friends.
Blake’s untimely passing has left his family and friends devastated, as they come to terms with this heartbreaking loss. In a post shared on social media, Bernadette Moore urged the Falcon community to rally together in support of Blake’s family, who are facing financial challenges related to his burial expenses. She encouraged the community to demonstrate their solidarity, saying, “Falcon Community, Let’s Come Together for One of Our Own.” Many others echoed this sentiment, including Tina Anderson-Fuhrman, who shared, “Soo soo sad! Too young! Was he sick?” Judy Lauersdorf Church expressed her sorrow, stating, “So sad!” while Paula Stratos sent her condolences with the message, “So heartbreaking. Sending prayers and comfort to the family.”
A fundraiser has been organized by Rachel Baier under the title, "Honoring Blake’s Memory and Legacy." The funds raised will assist Blake’s family in covering the costs of the services and burial. Generous donations have already started pouring in, with contributions ranging from $50 to $1,000. This outpouring of support is a reflection of the deep impact Blake had on those around him.
Blake was remembered as someone with a “huge heart” who excelled at everything he did. He had a passion for working on cars with his father, riding quads and dirt bikes, and enjoying outdoor activities such as hunting and fishing. His family described him as smart, funny, and strong, always willing to lend a helping hand.
Blake’s presence will be missed by his family, friends, and the entire Falcon community. We extend our thoughts and prayers to the Sumego family as they navigate this incredibly difficult time.
