The owner of a Texas snow cone business, Blake's Snow Shack, is showing the world what people with Down syndrome can accomplish. 22 year-old Blake Pyron is not only the youngest person in his city to become a business owner, he is also the first business owner in his hometown of Sanger, and possibly all of Texas, who has Down syndrome.
Pyron was born to Mary Ann and Billy Pyron in 1996. His mother told Live Action News that she was asked by her doctor to have an amniocentesis, but she refused. The couple had vowed to accept any child the Lord gave them.
“We didn’t take [the amniocentesis] because we knew we would never have an abortion,” she said.
Mrs. Pyron said that she had never heard about Down syndrome before her son’s birth. Medical personnel gave a gloomy prognosis for her son and offered no hope for his future. Her biggest fear was that her son was going to die.
“Whenever Blake was born, I did not know what Down syndrome was. I was just 25 years old and his father was 26. When the doctor came in and said she thought he had it, I said, she is crazy, he is so perfect. They just didn’t give us a lot of hope,” she explained.
“In the hospital they were like, ‘Well, he might be able to walk, he might be able to talk.’ They didn’t give us much hope for Blake’s plans. But we had faith,” she told the local ABC news outlet.
“We always knew in our heart that this wasn’t the truth – that God has a plan for Blake,” she added.
And she was right. Her son far superseded the doctor’s predictions, and went on to become a football captain, the prom king, citizen of the year for Sanger, and Dallas Fort Worth Super Star. And he has appeared in a country music video.
Mrs. Pyron explained that when Blake was born the family did not have blogs, Facebook or websites to go to and reach out to others with the same struggles. She said only one family she met had a child with Down syndrome.
“We just raised Blake like we raised our oldest son Mitchell,” she explained. “Downs was such a small part of Blake, and we knew God had plans for Blake.”
Pyron is like every other young man. He has a girlfriend, and wants to earn his own money to take her to the movies. So, in October, Blake applied for a permit for his own business – Blake’s Snow Shack. He appeared before the City Council and his permit was approved. His mother spoke about the day they received the official letter from the city:
When we finally got the paper from the city we realized that it was 20 years ago at that exact same time that the hospital was telling us he had Downs. And here he is becoming the first Downs business owner in Sanger and the youngest business owner. Possibly the only one person with Downs in Texas to own a business.
Pyron, who is the president of his company, told Live Action News and that he is very excited about the business and he loves all the interviews. He has always wanted to be a business owner and said he looks up to his friend and neighbor Tanner Maple who will help him as his first employee. Pyron admits that he really loves snow cones, noting that his favorite flavor is blue coconut.
In advance of the opening, supporters can place orders for a Blake’s Snow Shack T-shirt on his Facebook page here.
Mrs. Pyron said that her son’s story has been picked up by a number of major media outlets and as a result she has been contacted by mothers as far away as Europe. She wants any mother of a child who is given this diagnosis to reach out to her, and she has given Live Action News permission to publish an e-mail address where she can be reached. That address is maryannpyron@hotmail.com. She says:
“I’ve had people tell me that Blake has changed them. I know that is the reason God put Blake here.”

If Hollywood celebrities like Scarlett Johansson, Emma Watson, Kristen Bell, and Brie Larson want to support the Time's Up and Me Too movements, then they can't support Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood is one of America’s biggest accomplices to sexual abuse, and there is widespread documentation of decades-long systemic sexual abuse cover up behind its doors. Watch Live Action’s seven part video series on how Planned Parenthood treats these victims, consistently and deliberately failing to report their abuse and even making a profit doing so.

Planned Parenthood's sex education encourages kids as young as 11 to have sex, obtain hormonal contraception, and undergo chemical and surgical abortions - without their parent's knowledge. This is unacceptable. Let's unite to protect our children from Planned Parenthood.

Will his mind change on abortion? ? "I'm pretty pro-abortion. Pro-choice, definitely"
Watch his mind shift after watching our abortionprocedures.com video: "I'm just shocked. I wasn't expected to get a lesson like that... I learned a lot actually. I wasn't aware of the process. I didn't know unborn babies were broken up like through a tube... this video needs to be seen by more people."
