Nordstrom co-President Blake Nordstrom, who treated employees like family, is dead at 58
Blake W. Nordstrom, part of the fourth generation to lead his family’s namesake retail company through one of the industry’s most tumultuous periods, died in Seattle on Wednesday morning. He was 58.
The company confirmed his death. On Dec. 10, Mr. Nordstrom announced that he had been diagnosed a week earlier with lymphoma, sharing optimism at his prognosis of a “treatable” form of the cancer, which affects the immune system.
He told employees, customers and shareholders he planned to undergo chemotherapy and reduce his travel schedule but “otherwise continue to work throughout this process as normal.”
Nordstrom employees, customers and observers shared memories and condolences Wednesday, painting a picture of a humble leader who carried on his forebears’ tradition of treating employees as family and who was not above performing low-level tasks even as he advanced to the company’s top ranks.
