As an RN, I know just how quickly an accident can happen. You are a wonderful role model for your children because of how you have handled this whole situation. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, but how we respond determines the quality of the life we have left. How you react determines your character, and you have chosen gratitude, perseverance and love going forth…what a legacy to your children. I don’t know you but I am proud of you and will include you and your family in my prayers.

Heartbreaking. I’m so sorry for the loss of Your beautiful little girl. We have four girls, and I can only imagine the pain this has caused. Sunni reminds Me of Our youngest. Thank-You for being brave and sharing Your story. I know You will save someone else’s life. Seven years ago Our 2nd daughter was in a horrible bike accident. She walked away with only minor injuries due to her HELMET!!! And oddly, just five minutes prior she did not have it on. I yelled at her to put it on….and then she wiped out in front of Me, and My husband and Our neighbor. We were right there!! Her entire side of her head scraped along the pavement at a fast speed. I do not want to imagine this scenario another way. We rushed the ER thinking she may have a concussion or worse. And she was perfectly fine minus a large scratch on her cheek. Today she is a happy, thriving, beautiful, intelligent and full of energy 13 year-old. But it easily could have turned out much worse. Accidents do happen. I share this to remind people to show grace and understanding. Parents are always under a microscope. BE KIND!! Much love to Your family and angel baby. ❤

As a boater my entire life this hit hard. I’m so sorry for your loss. Your systems make sense and you seem like a very responsible boater and father. I’ve never had an accident, but I am well aware that in any moment that could change. I could tell myself I have a perfect record, but the reality is many close calls have happened over the years. Some I know about, and some I’ll never know. We all should be humble, thankful and kind. Praying for you and your family.

It really truly was a tragic accident that really does not seem like it could have been prevented in any way. If they would open their minds and listen, they would know that and that you two blame yourselves and are far harder on yourselves about it any anyone else could be.

Thank you for sharing this! The part that resonated with me was "if you think this couldn't happen to you, then you are wrong, and this is a blind spot in your abilities". Absolutely true, and the underneath front side of a boat is a hugh blind spot. Our vehicles have backup cameras now, so we don't accidentally back over someone. Boat manufacturers should include that as an option? I'm 65 yrs old and like you have been boating all my life. I have kids and grandkids that I have taught to ski & wakeboard. I remember my parents telling us to stay out from the front of the boat because it's a dangerous place and we could get hurt. Even if the boat isn't running. I have kind of forgot that safty rule. But, going forward the water in front of the boat is off limits while out on the lake, especially to anyone under 12. I love the Sunny Days channel name tribute. Sunni was a very bright light. My favorite is Daddy painting Sunni's nails! You and your beautiful family are in my thoughts & prayers this father's day! God Bless!!!

We are avid boaters ever since we had our first son who is 9 now. We enjoy our time on the water with family and friends and there has been no better way for us to spend time on the water. We had some close calls of our own with children and like you said accidents do happen beyond our control. I found your channel earlier this summer and though you had amazing content for safe boating practices and more. That’s what intrigued me to your channel is the care and attention to this aspect you displayed, I really think you should continue with your channel and hopefully bring more awareness to boating safety.

Blake, so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine going through that with my girls. No matter how safe you are, things can happen. So dont blame yourselves. To answer your question, I just bought my first boat about a month ago and you are the one who taught me how to drive it! I watched your videos prior to buying it. You're a good teacher and should continue doing it. Your video was the best one i found for how to drive a wake boat. I didn't realize you were in AZ at the time though as the videos I saw were somewhere up north...I live real close to lake pleasant and some of my family witnessed the aftermath as they were camping at the pleasant harbor north ramp when the accident happened. 🙏 And what the hell is wrong with those people leaving nasty comments?

I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I've watched your channels for years and I feel like we're the Colorado version of your family, with the same life principles, boating style, etc. We also have a six year old daughter who loves to kneeboard and surf with me, and the thought of this happening is unbearable. I'm glad to see your outlook that's as positive as it can be given the circumstances, I don't think I could be as strong as you. I hope Camille is doing okay, I can't imagine how hard this has been on her. I'll pray for your family's healing. I appreciate you making this video, as hard as I'm sure it was for you to make. Keep your chin up and keep doing what you love. And if you ever come to Colorado, respond to this comment and we'll make you our guests, as you have done that for so many others on your boat.

Well Captain, you and your family have shook my world. I am a grandfather of 14, father of 4. At 65 we moved from sterndrive to wakeboats thinking these were safer for our kids. We also host around 25 Christian College leaders every year for encouragement and a way to bless their lives. You have brought to my mind how lax I have allowed everyone to become about safety. We can always come to the Father and lay our trials on the alter, but you Brither have magnified our Saviour and Redeemer for grace and mercy. There is no bitterness, there is NO condemnation with Jesus. Thank you for sharing your Sunni Days with the world and we are eternally grateful for your faith and willingness to make yourself vulnerable just like Jesus. Blessings to your family and adventures.

I am so incredibly sorry. My heart just hurts and breaks for you. I am a childhood friend of Camille’s cousin Chelsea. We grew up boating. I am also an avid boater and know how much joy is made on the water on SUNNI days. I have also lost my oldest son. Not boating but also tragically. So I know the pain of a tragic accident. As well as hateful keyboard warriors. It takes a parent made of steel to do what you’re doing. Keep spreading SUNNI! Honestly and sadly I think there’s no one better to learn from than someone who has lived the worst. I’m proud of you for continuing boating. I can’t imagine having the mixed emotions of what that must be. God bless you. God bless your wife. God bless your boys. It’s so hard-the unknowns. I am so grateful for you that you got to hold her, kiss her and say her name a few more times. There are Sunni days ahead. Just have to find the sunshine through the rain clouds and thunderstorms. Much love and many prayers. I wish there was something more.

THANK YOU for sharing such profoundly personal thoughts and feelings. We are heartBROKEN for you and your family. You must feel like Tennyson describing his loss in his powerful poem, 'In Memoriam A.H.H.', "Dark house, by which once more I stand Here in the long unlovely street, Doors, where my heart was used to beat So quickly, waiting for a hand, A hand that can be clasp'd no more- Behold me, for I cannot sleep, And like a guilty thing I creep At earliest morning to the door. [She] is not here; but far away The noise of life begins again, And ghastly thro' the drizzling rain On the bald street breaks the blank day." AND YES! Please continue boating content but only if you can be joyful doing so. AND YES, I would feel safe with my children on your boat, even in my absence. One thing I have to correct you on: one cannot prevent accidents. Even if everyone drove NERF cars no faster than 20 MPH, accidents even fatal ones would occur.

I'm beyond thankful and grateful that this video found me. This is the first video of your channel that I've seen and It had a huge impact on me. I grew up in Utah and went boating often with my scout leader Darrell that coincidentally had a daughter named Sunni and a boat called the Sunni Marley. His Sunni was the spitting image of ur Sunni and was basically an adorable energetic little sister to me. He has 6 daughters and a son and with friends or scouts on board too it was usually a mad house boating excursion. Darrell was driving, pulling a tube trying to throw the riders so he was doing big turns, circles, whatever he could to create more waves and choppy conditions and I wasnt holding on nor paying attention when I was thrown from the boat at approximately 25mph. Noone even realized I had been thrown and the next thing I knew is I was treading water as a passing boat drove directly over me just barely missing my head as I heard and felt the pressure of the propeller zing by. I was beyond lucky and knew it could have been so much worse. I was just a little kid but by the time they knew i had been thrown in and got back to where I was, I was in shock and bawling my eyes out from the reality of what just happened. The mix of music, propeller/ engine noise, people talking, and noise of the lake /outdoors, its a very easy thing for something life threatening to happen to someone on board and have no idea that anything is wrong. They were even giving me a hard time for crying till they all realized that the passing boat had run me over right after getting tossed at basically full tubing speed. So... basically I shared that experience with you to let you know that it happens a lot and I hope that you never, ever place any blame on yourself for any part of what happened. U can be so cautious and responsible on the water and still have things happen in an instant that u just cannot avoid. I look up to your strength as a family and as a father going thru the most heart wrenching, disastrous experience a person and family can possibly go thru. I also know that without your faith and1 strong knowledge of the fact that you will get to be with Sunni again one day, u might not be here exemplifying such amazing strength to go on. So I say go on! Go on because you have a family that believes in you and loves you. Go on because life may throw u the hardest curve ball possible, but quitting isnt an option when u love what u do and ur obviously very talented and skilled at it. Go on because your followers and fans would want you to. But most of all, go on because Sunni wouldn't have it any other way and she is shining down on you each day cheering you on. I believe that whole heartedly. Thank you for letting me, a total stranger into ur private life. By doing so u really helped me work thru some trauma and opened my eyes to a truly very heartbreaking but very beautiful story and family! Much love for that.

man I don't even know what to say... last fall, we purchased our first boat, a Malibu lsv. it came winterized so we weren't able to use it. I started binge watching all the videos I could over the winter looking for all the tips on driving it, surfing... you name it. I watched a ton of your videos all winter. this video popped up in my feed yesterday and I assumed maybe you damaged your boat, but wow I was wrong. im responding today because it took me 2 days to watch this full video. it was so hard to watch, but feel it is the most valuable video i've watched to date. this is so tragic and my heart goes out to you, and your family. thank you for sharing your story, and allowing others like myself to be able to learn from your experience. ❤

I'm so sorry. I have been watching you and your family for a while. Your videos have helped me teach so many people how to wake surf. We do exactly what you do, invite new families to the lake so they can have memories. There is always a lot of chaos and fun. I will take your story and use it to help keep my family and others safe. We have friends who lost two of their kids to a flood by Roosevelt Lake in 2019. It was a real hard time. They also had a lot of hateful comments. Fast forward 4 years and they have done so much healing. I love seeing them with their kids, laughing. They are amazing parents for their other kids. I know that you and your wife will be amazing for your other kids also. Sunni is still so close, just on the other side of the veil. I love you guys - Brad
