Description

Owensboro Regional Suicide Prevention Coalition, Inc. Blake Gatton Tradesman Award is designed to support an individual wanting to gain education in a career trade. This award for higher education is for a senior in high school who has been affected by suicide or supports suicide awareness and wants to pursue a trade career. Blake was a 30-year-old, father of 2 who worked production in a local factory and died in 2021 of suicide. He was the life of the party and always smiling. You would never know he struggled with depression. He loved UNC, Miami Dolphins, Cincinnati Reds and was a big supporter of Daviess County football. The family would like this award to go to someone affected by suicide to carry on his memory.
