In loving memory of
Cassian 'Cass' Orion Blake
30th October 1982 to 12th November 2023
"Cass didn't just look at the stars; he lived by them. He once drove us four hours into the desert just to see a meteor shower, insisting that 'some things are worth the lost sleep.' He was our North Star."
— Shared by his partner, Sam.
