He proudly embraced his Native American heritage as a respected warrior in the Thirteen Moons Turtle Clan and, in recent years, regularly attended events at the Worcester Inter-tribal Indian Center.

He is survived by his loving wife of eight years, Wendy (Hammond) Blye; his stepdaughter, Mandie Burdett and her partner, Kevin Schofield; his stepson, Colin Burdett; five brothers; two sisters; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was a loving and devoted Bumpa to his two granddaughters, Naia and Melia Schofield.
