A Wife’s Emotional Tribute

Blake’s wife, Rhea, shared a heartfelt message on Facebook. She described a man whose courage and kindness extended well beyond his badge.

“My husband was ki**ed yesterday helping someone in a domestic vi*lence situation,” she wrote. “He never cared what it looked like as long as he was doing the right thing. He considered it the highest of honors to lay down his life for others.”

Rhea remembered his softer side — playing basketball with neighborhood kids, rescuing animals, and fixing strangers’ cars on his days off.

“He put everyone above himself,” she said. “He is one of the best people I’ve ever known. I always knew if he was given the choice, he would die protecting someone. I guess God gave him that choice and honored his wishes, I just wish it wasn’t so soon.”

A Career Dedicated to Service

Before joining the McComb Police Department, Blake served 16 years in law enforcement, including time with the Pike County Sheriff’s Office. His dedication earned him respect from colleagues, city officials, and the community.

Sheriff Jones offered “deepest condolences” to Blake’s family, writing, “Please accept our deepest condolences for the loss of Sergeant Jason Blake. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Sergeant Blake will be dearly missed by all.”
