April 1, 2023
On Saturday April 1, 2023 Christina Mary Blake of Murrieta, CA passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at the young age of 34. Christina was born on September 28, 1988 but she always claimed the entire birthday month to be celebrated as “Christinamas”. As the youngest of three girls she was the much loved, spoiled baby sister. Her favorite song growing up was “Wild One” by Faith Hill, she lived like it too! Tina had an amazing sense of humor, loved to read, and was a fan of Nancy Drew, Harry Potter, Star Trek, and True Crime Podcasts. One of her many tattoos was of her favorite Bible verse Romans 8:18 “I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”Christina leaves behind a young daughter, Fiona, whom she loved with all her heart and they had so many fun adventures together. She is also survived by her parents Ken and Linnea Blake, sister Melissa and Steve Targos, and sister Shannon and Andy Deane. She also leaves three nieces Chloe, Abigail and Mikala as well as two nephews Gideon and Titus. She will be greatly missed by her loved ones and friends.The memorial service will be held privately for family only, but they appreciate your thoughts and prayers. A fund was setup for Fiona’s care at:https://www.gofundme.com/f/christina-mary-blakeIn memory of Christina Blake, for Fiona’s care, organized by Maritza Baumgartner

My heart is torn, Christina only knew me for a week and she and her family took me in off the streets. We would talk for hours and hours about politics, faith, religion, sports, music, sciences and the metaphysical. She was so bright and had a infectious smile that would make anyone return the gesture. I struggled with faith and my identity. I went to message her and tell her I found God.... I know she's in heaven. Such a gentle soul and kind hearted woman. Peace and Love and prayers to the Blake Family. I will never forget what you and Christina did for me. -J.E. Lopez

I remember the day we met. I was driving past a friend's house and you were sitting on the front porch. I IMMEDIATELY called my friend and asked who you were. We ended up talking for 8 hours that night/morning. We fell in love the day we met. Christina was the most amazingly beautiful, positive, intelligent, kind hearted, and sincere woman I have ever met. Falling in love with you has been the most beautiful part of my life, and im completely and utterly devastated without my soulmate...because that's exactly who you were baby, my soulmate. You loved me unconditionally...and respected me more than anyone ever has. We had so many plans for our future. I'm so empty without you. I miss our late night conversations, our shopping sprees (lol), watching our stupid corny shows that we liked, our stupid jokes, how you wiggled your third and fourth toe when you were nervous (I'm still baffled by that talent). Im gonna miss our family adventures, I'm gonna miss just hanging out as a family. You and Fiona have been my entire life for almost 4 years...and I will cherish the memories forever. I have so many things that I would like to share...but I think I will hold on to those private memories for myself. Christina changed my life for the better. She was my shining light. She made me feel important and loved...as she did with everyone. She was honestly the nicest and most non-judgmental person I've ever known. I thank you babygirl for everything you taught me, all of our memories, and most of all...for the love that you gave me. You were the greatest blessing. I love you pumpkin, you're finally at peace, and in no pain with no worries. Yours Forever... B

Christina was an amazing person and I will never ever forget her. Rest in paradise my beautiful angel. You will be missed terribly but I know you are in a better place.

Christina, how can you not love christina. She was the light in the room. I have so many many amazing memories with her, she was my best friend in high school. She definitely made those years much more enjoyable for me with how spontaneous and adventurous she was. My fondest memories were going to see Brittany spears and John Mayer a million times! It was truly the best. If it wasn’t for her I don’t think I would have ever gone to a concert. But we had the best times! Also she loved to drive! So we drove. She was so attracted to Los Angeles so we probably drove down there once every couple of weeks. Christina just loves looking at the Hollywood sign. Another place we drove to a lot was Newport. She is the reason to this day I am obsessed with this one small coffee shop named Alta. We would always get the chai tea latte with cold milk. The absolute best place with the best person. I love you so much Christina and always will. You’re in a better place now. Prayers go out to the Blake family. God bless

I remember walking the fire trail to her house all the time so we could sit on the roof, eat cheesecake and listen to music. She really was a laugh until we cry type of friend. So many endless memories I will forever cherish. She was so loved and will be so missed. Sending so much love to Fiona & her family.
