LAST SHEEP CAMP

Rubye Blake

It is with great sadness we pay tribute to Summit Life Member Rubye Mayflower Blake. Rubye could make anyone laugh; not just a casual laugh, but a bent over, hold your stomach, from the depths of your soul laugh. She was one of a kind. Rubye was born in Alaska and had an unshakable passion for the outdoors. She and her twin sister were well known athletes in Alaska. Rubye found her soulmate in Derek Blake who introduced her to the Wild Sheep Foundation. She loved her WSF family and became a huge advocate for women hunters. Rubye truly blossomed

Craig West

Myron Craig West passed away on Saturday, April 1, 2023, at the age of 71. Craig was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, to Floyd and Mary West on May 27, 1951. He graduated from Broughton High School in 1969 before attending Louisburg College and East Carolina University. He was an NC State Wolfpack fan all his life and a member of the Wolfpack Club for 37 years, but he grew to love the Demon Deacons in the last decade of his life, as both of his kids when she was hunting. Rubye and Derek worked together on their beloved boat, the Enchantress, managing successful fishing and hunting businesses. Rubye was the best and funniest first mate. Just when they thought life couldn’t get any better, they welcomed a sweet baby girl, Harbor Moonflower in February of this year. Harbor was truly the joy of Rubye’s life. Rubye will be missed beyond belief, but will live on in the hearts and souls of all of the people she touched. She will be with us in every sunset, she will be the warmth of the sun on our face, and always in our hearts. WS were accepted to and graduated from Wake Forest University.

He is survived by his wife Leslee G. West, his son Matthew Craig West, his daughter Mary Glenn West, and his beloved black lab Jack. He is also survived by his siblings (and their spouses) – Charlotte Sutton, Woody West, Tommy (Holly) West, Anne (Johnson) Bissette, Buddy (Lisa) West, Kathy West, Joan West (Randy Adams), and Barbara Hearne – and a continued on next left page
