Although I do not know Drake, his passing is symbolic of how fragile life truly is.
Perhaps when parting company with someone, we should do that with the subconscious thought that we may not see them again. The passing of one of us diminishes us all.
My prayers are with his family. RIP Drake

Bill, that could not have been better said.
I have logged on here many times today just to make sure the worst didn't happen. It did and I am sickened by it and I have never met the young man. RIP my Mopar friend.
 With both of the above sentiments
Godspeed Drake and may the Good Lord look over you, your family and friends

I received the news last night around 11:30 pm. Drake was such a great guy and so nice to everyone he came in contact with. He was a great announcer and will truly be missed. I remember the first time I met Drake, 4 years ago at the Halloween Classic. Then we hung out at the Moparts Christmas Party that Scott Koffel put together. I hate that when I last saw Drake was last year at the Chrysler Classic Mopar World Finals. He made it to the finals and I would have never thought, that would be the last time I would see him. RIP Drake, you will truly be missed.. At such a young age, you made a HUGE impact on the Drag Racing and Mopar world.

He bought a 904 off me almost a year ago. He knew who I was and knew my car. We talked cars and racing for a couple hours. Was one of the nicest kids you would ever want to meet.
Tried to buy summit parts thru him. Could not get a hold of him for a long while. I had a feeling things were not good but this is stunning.

When ever we loose someone this young I am always reminded of what my Grandmother used to say at times like these..."the old must die, but the young can die".
RIP young man.
