Guys I need your help..Thank You...BLAKE RICHARDSON 6 YEAR OLD FROM DIAMONDHEAD
 

Friends of ours were in a terrible boating accident on Saturday. Still can't believe it. Adorable little 6 yr old Blake Richardson was killed Saturday afternoon in a boating accident 1/4 mile from our house. So Very Tragic...His father Mark was hurt very bad, and hopefully will not have permanant damage to his hand. The driver of their boat was Bill, Marks brother, he has some head injury, just went through a cat scan.. Another boat drove over the top of them while they were rounding a corner...They were on the correct side but the other driver was driving eratic and way too fast. He ended up driving over the top of their boat causing injury to both brothers and killing Marks 6 year old son... Blake. The dispicable act was...they left the scene of the accident. Our Deepest Sympathy to the entire Richardson Family. These are good hard working people, that are need of our help as a community.

WLOX News - A young boy, injured in a boating accident in Hancock County died and two other passengers on the boat he was in sustained injuries. Six passengers from the other boat suffered minor injuries.

According to the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (DMR) two recreational boats collided head-on in Rotten Bayou near the Jourdon River north of I-10 in Hancock County on Saturday.

According to Hancock County Coroner Norma Stiglet the young boy was identified as Blake Richardson. An autopsy showed that multiple injuries caused by the impact resulted in his death. Stiglet stressed that drowning was not a factor in his death.

Richardson was pronounced dead at 11:35 p.m. Saturday at Hancock Medical Center.

Blake Richardson was riding with his father, Mark Richardson and his uncle, William Richardson at the time of the accident. William was operating the 19-foot Critchfield skiff. According to DMR Richardson was the only passenger wearing a life jacket on the skiff.

The other boat, a 22-foot Boston Whaler, had six people onboard. The 22-foot Boston Whaler was operated by George Brower II. All six passengers were ejected from the boat at the time of the collision and sustained slight injuries.

Blake Richardson was picked up by an airboat operator and taken to Devil's Elbow in Diamondhead where they were met by Hancock County Sheriff's Department, Diamondhead Fire and Rescue and American Medical Response.

The accident is still under investigation by DMR's Marine Control and Department of Wildlife Fisheries and Parks. DMR has taken possession of both vessels and a blood test was taken on both vessel operators. Test results are still pending.

My condolences to the family and everyone involved. Sorry to hear this.
In behalf of my self and CCS, Inc. I will forward my support, and ask my fellow boaters to follow suit.
RIP little Blake.

Wow, that is terrible. My condolences to the family.

Thanks for letting us know.

Thankyou Payton and Paradox... We are having a very hard time with this. This child was such a cutie, and well behaved. I cant say to much cause I know all parties involved but the driver of the other boat left the scene...and that has me upset as well....that will come out later..I cant say anymore on that..just a tradegedy. Blakes spinal chord was severed, no child deserves this. Mark didnt realize that his hand was hanging by skin as he held little Blake, as well as he has deep lacerations up his back, shoulder and head. All they were doing was checking their trout lines for saturdays supper. The wife and daughter are always with them together, but luckily had a girl scouts meeting in New Orleans, otherwise they would have been there as well. RIP lil buddy.

Jeff so sad to hear. My prayers to the family, there is nothing sadder than losing a child

Jeff, I can't imagine losing a child like that. My condolences to the family. I am on the road for he next couple of days but I will definately send out a check. Take care.

Jeff, can I go to any other Hancock Bank location?

Condolences to the Richardson Family and praying that Marks operation is successful. A very sad story and will be sending a cheque.

So sad :(:(:(

My condolences to the Richardson family.

may god bless them and help them threw this.i lost my daughter cheyenne at 8 months old its the worst thing in the world, if the family needs to talk i been thier they can pm me

Thank you Chuck. You can send it to Hancock Bank or to how I have it addressed above, our address in his name..with account number...which ever is easier. Thank You . Jeff

Eric not really certain, but I dont see why it wouldnt work cause there is an account number on there in little Blakes name... Or just send it in the mail to Blake Richardson, to my address that I have noted above and put the account number on there.. What ever is easier, Ill even drive to you if youd like later tonight or tomorrow.. Thanks you very much. Jeff

Thank You AB Windsor. Saturday evening is when they finally got medical attention to Marks hand/forearm...they were worried about staff infection..as of now he has no clue cause its wrapped up nor really cares about the severity of his hand or back. These were salt of the earth people, and always gave and never asked for anything in return. They will apprieciate yours and everybodies donation. Thank You. Jeff

Man I have been hanging with my little guy all morning and then to read this..... Wow very hard to digest. Got to enjoy every moment you can with them. Very sorry for their loss.

Wow, so sad. Crazy. No words to say to help make this tragidy better. Just Im sorry.

So sorry to hear about this little boy and his dad, This is a horrible story and the guy who left the scene makes me SICK! He probably couldnt stomache what he had done.

As for the staff infection, dont mess around with that if they think theres any chance of a staff infection get him on vancomycin (antibiotic) this family doesnt need another tragedy. I have seen it first hand, MRSA or staff can very nasty, and it can kill you!


By the time you realize its bad it could be in your blood.

I wouldn't normally bring this type of info into it here, but I know when your upset, you dont care about yourself, but if he has a wife and daughter he needs to care still.

God bless this poor family and that little boy!

You are correct, hit the nail on the head..Sandy my wife and you said exactly the same thing. He did stay at a friends house Saturday night, which happened to be a optomologist, and his wife is a radiologist...and they ended up getting him proper medical care...This is the last thing on his mind..Blake and Mark were close and did everything together..even cutting peoples lawns..actually all 4 of them worked beautifully as a family as they raked, did yard work and cut lawns to make money.. Simple, and hard working people that would give you a hand anytime you needed it. Thank you for your consideration. Jeff

Very sad.

I can't imagine. Jeff I'll get a check out to your home. My thoughts and prayers to the family. RIP

Passed this information and your # to Frank and Huey. He is either going to call you or go to the bank.

Thoughts and prayers.

This is tragic. It's stories like this that make you sick to your stomach and your heart ache. I can not begin to imagine the pain and/or devastation the family must be feeling and enduring right now.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Richardson family. Wake Zone will send some money out this week to the family to help support them.

God speed little guy :(

+ 1

I lost my young son eight years ago. There's nothing that compares and it never goes away. I'm cutting a check now. Prayers for the family.

So sorry !!!! Check goes in the mail in the AM ......

Can't even imagine. I have two six year old girls that mean the world to me. I'll send a donation.

So sad and very tragic. My familie's thoughts and prayers are with the family. May God Bless that little boy. I will definitely send a check in; I'm sure that is the least of their concerns right now, but anything will help.

So sorry to hear about this tragic accident . Thoughts and prayers to the Richardson family

GOD SPEED RIP little guy, thoughts and prayers to the family, will send a check tomorrow!!

We are so sorry for their loss. We will be forwarding our support to help in any way it can in the next so very hard days.

My sweet baby girl, Elizabeth, slipped and drowned on fathers day 2009 and I know the pain and horrible loss they are experiencing.

A parent should never have to bury a child and my heart and soul is braking for your friends.

As the days and months go by, the hurt will eventually turn into kind of a dull pain in your soul that never leaves, but just always reminds you of the one that was so precious to you.

All our love and prayers to the Richardson family, Dan, Kim and Lizzie

So sad.

Jeff, Thank You for posting the info, Our Thoughts & Prayers for the family. Can't imagine the h*ll they are going through!!!! Will get a check out tomorrow!!!!!! Thanks, Robbie & Chris

OMG, these stories make me sick to my stomach, so sorry for your loss....

What I learned is to never take for granted the time you have with your loved ones.

If I knew the last time I saw my daughter alive was going to be the last I ever saw her except laying there in her coffin, I would have hugged her longer, and told her how proud I was of the young lady she had become, but you never know when a tragedy like this will occur.

I have beaten myself up over and over again for not being there to rescue my daughter and pull her from the water and the grips of death, but it just was not to be. I will never recover from this loss, but you do learn to go on, one day at a time, knowing that is what your lost loved one would have wanted.

Please do not feel sick for us, but instead, give us a hug and a few words of comfort, for that is what we need the most at times like this. Dan

So very sad.
Please send my condolences to the family. They are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dan!

Your story is very heart felt and inspirational and as you have said the pain will never be gone but you learn to deal it the best you can and must go on. My heart goes out to you and your family on the loss of your daughter and I couldn't imagine how I would be, if I were in that position. I hope that your story will help the Richardson Family to coop with this tragedy.
