In Loving Memory of Blake Bozeman

Hello, my name is Evan Marbury and I am raising money for the family of Blake Bozeman.

On Saturday, September 24, Blake was senselessly killed while at a bar in Washington DC celebrating his friend’s birthday.

Blake was many things to many people and played a pivotal role in the lives of everyone he met. He was a star athlete at Morgan State, a dedicated member of his community where he volunteered his time, and an award-winning Realtor who helped a number of people reach their goals of homeownership.
