Chris Blake: Coach Who Changed Lives | Little Rock News

Chris Blake, a beloved coach and community pillar who died at 57 from lung disease, left an indelible mark in Lakewood after 40 years of tireless service—especially through soccer. Once hesitant to coach, he embraced the role when his kids joined, dedicating himself fully to every player he touched. Former player Aaron Brucks credits Blake with transforming his life, and even as Blake battled illness, he coached Brucks’ son—a powerful, emotional full-circle moment. His legacy extends far beyond the field, inspiring countless lives. His family mourns deeply, but the community rallies around them, honoring Blake with tributes, a proposed statue, and an endowment fund to ensure every child can play soccer. The North Little Rock Mayor has declared July 23 “Chris Blake Day,” and his family vows to keep coaching, carrying on his mission to empower young athletes.
