Dan “Robbie” Blake, 52, of Johnson City, Tenn., passed away on Saturday, January 11, 2025, at Johnson City Medical Center. Dan was born in Orlando, Fla., on May 21, 1972 to Sabrina Chambers of Cocoa, Fla., and the late Danny Lee Blake. In addition to his father, Dan was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Nancy and Joseph O’Hearn; his great-grandparents, Edith and Austin Copple; and his paternal grandparents, Jean and Harold Blake.

Dan was a member of Rivers Edge Fellowship Church and was also an ordained minister and was going to be an Elder in the church. He was also a Senior Cloud architect. Dan enjoyed being outdoors and fishing on his boat, riding his tractor and his Gator, and putting up Christmas light displays of pixel lights. An avid Atlanta Braves fan, Dan also enjoyed watching the Braves games and most of all, he loved his family and spending time with them.
