Blake Nordstrom passed away unexpectedly, the
department store chain said, less than a month after being
diagnosed with lymphoma.
He had been co-president of the department chain along with his
brothers Pete and Erik since May 2015.
Blake, along with his brothers, was heir to the sprawling retail
business founded in 1901 by his great-grandfather John
Nordstrom, a Swedish immigrant.
Blake's tenure as co-president involved an attempt to take the
company private in 2017 as it struggled with an industry-wide
sales slowdown.
