Background: This hero workout is dedicated to Army SPC Blake D. Whipple, 21, who was killed on November 5, 2010, from wounds suffered when insurgents attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device. He was serving during Operation Enduring Freedom.

One of the highlights of rock ‘n’ roll lover Blake Whipple’s life was having his own radio show on St. Bonaventure University’s student-run station.

His friends and family described him as a fun-loving and funny guy who enjoyed baseball, football, hockey, and video games.

Born in Detroit, Blake moved to the Buffalo, N.Y., suburb of Amherst with his family while in elementary school, and again to Baltimore for middle school and the beginning of high school, before settling in Amherst. He graduated in 2007 from Williamsville East High School.

He joined the Army in early 2009 after attending three western New York colleges: St. Bonaventure, Erie Community College, and Buffalo State College.

“He wanted to do something more immediate in his life, and wanted to help his country,” said his father, David.
