Adam Blake Rothstein

Adam Blake Rothstein would like to announce his graduation from this life. After an 18-month journey with prostate cancer, Blake passed into the next life on July 3, 2023, while surrounded by his loved ones. Blake wanted to be remembered as a person who knows that God lives and loves His children, and that Jesus Christ is real. Blake was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Blake loved to serve others, which ultimately started when he was called to Oakland, California, as a full-time missionary. His mission was one of his most cherished memories. Even up until his death, Blake received phone calls from people he met on his mission who wanted him to know what a big impact he had on their lives. After his mission, Blake attended Ricks College, where he majored in theater, and graduated from BYU. Blake met his wife, Kitt, while working together on a theater set. Kitt and Blake married in the Manti Temple on September 22, 1994. Four and a half years later, they became dedicated parents to a baby girl. Eden was followed 2 years later by Tace with Phoenix Raine rounding out the family. Blake created a family of sous chefs to help as they cooked favorite meals like Blake’s pizza, amazing soups, and much more. During their daily meal-prep time Blake enjoyed hearing about his kids’ lives and being able to provide encouragement and advice. Cooking dinners together as a family were among Blake’s happiest memories. As a family, the Rothsteins enjoyed serving other people. Blake loved that his kids learned a solid work ethic and got to experience the best version of their parents as they served together. He also fostered a love of family time in nature, via walks, hikes, camping trips, bike rides, frisbee, and disc golf. Blake was a project manager at Live View Technologies (LVT.com). He was especially thankful for his coworkers, friends, and company founders at LVT for their incredible humanity and support through his most difficult days. Blake always said that LVT had the greatest people he has ever worked with and was truly grateful for the opportunity to spend time learning from such leaders. As someone who always loved people, Blake left some wise advice: “Life is about people and the connections that we make. The love and experiences are all we get to take with us. If we come into contact with someone, we need to be all in because we’re meant to be in contact with them. We can’t do that unless we’re fully present with them. When we go to the next life, our relationships remain with us, so when we treat a person with kindness or give them our aid, that will draw us together in the next life. We’re here to love and help one another.” Blake is survived by amazing parents, John and Vicki Rothstein of Mobridge, South Dakota, whose assistance, time, and effort were truly remarkable. He is also survived by his brother Owen Casey (wife Taryn and their son Finn) of Pasadena, California, and sister Lauran (her husband David) of Brooklyn, New York, all of whom were such a great help. Blake was grateful for the time he had to build adult relationships with them. He is also survived by fantastic in-laws, Pete and Marg McCracken and their children Sean, Rebecca, and Sam. Blake was all about faith, family, food, and fun. His legacy will live on through memories, stories, and laughter. The light he brought will never be forgotten. Funeral services will be held Friday, July 7th 2023, at 2:00 pm at the Southwind LDS Chapel located at 1155 N. 1400 W. St. George, Utah, and can also be accessed virtually via Zoom.
