Our hearts are heavy as we are grieving the loss of someone in our lives who meant so much to everyone around him. Drake faced many struggles in his young 16 years of life, but he always kept a smile on his face for his friends and family. He was the kindest, smartest young man, and he always lit up the room and put a smile on everyone’s face in there. He found happiness surrounding himself with his family & friends, and riding his beloved mini bike, fishing, and protecting his sisters. He is loved by many and his name will always be kept alive. He will forever be the missing piece of his mamma and siblings heart and will forever be their protector, their guardian angel. The lord has took our sweet boy home. The family has little peace, knowing Drake was too good for this cruel world.

Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit” Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free, I’m following the path God laid for me I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play Tasks left undone must stay that way, I’ve found that peace at the close of day If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow My life’s been full, I’ve savored much, Good friends, good times, my loved ones’ touch If my time seemed all too brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your heart, rejoice with me, God wanted me now; He set me free.
