On Tuesday, Blake Lovette, a true giant not only in the North Carolina agriculture community, but in the civic community, passed away unexpectedly. Blake was a good friend, and to say he made a profound impact on the Wilkes County community would be an understatement. From his time on the Wilkes Board of Education to his role as the president of ConAgra Poultry, Blake was never satisfied with the status quo and believed that complacency was never an option. As chairman of the Wilkes County Republican Party, Blake exercised a level of diligence and grace that was second to none. To Blake's family, I pray that God will continue to bless you and give you comfort during this difficult time. ____________________
