Im so sorry.  I have had the whole family in my prayers and on my mind so much.  Wanted to send my sincere sympathies and much love. 

A couple of years ago I saw Drake with his family at the restaurant I was working at the time and hadn’t seen him since high school graduation. Went up to the table and said hi. He was so happy to see me and we caught up for a few minutes. Drake showed how proud he was of me that it made my day. He had a lot of pride for his family and introduced me to his Aunt who was a famous Sommelier. I was happy to make their night special and memorable and intimate. It’s deeply sad to hear about his loss and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. 

Drake is the kind of guy that made everyone he talked to feel so special. I feel so blessed to have spent time with him and to call him a friend in the short time I knew him.  His incredible smile, hugs and how he treated everyone around him will be so missed. Prayers and love to Brooke, his family and all his friends

I believe Drake was 9 and Brooke was 6 when I went to work for Tom.  Tom and I worked together for 15 out of 18 years so I had the pleasure of watching Drake and Brooke grow up.  Over the years, the entire Farmer family became very special to me and Tom became my very good friend.  I have always loved this family, I love them now, and I will always love them.  On this earth, I, along with many others, will miss Drake and his good looks, his smile, his charm, and his personality; but Heaven truly is a better place because he is there.

I am so very sorry to hear of Drake’s passing. It has been some time since Drake was in my art room at Bowie Elementary, but I remember him well. Fun young boy with a great smile, a kind heart and lots of friends. I know he must have grown into a wonderful young man. I am so deeply sorry. Much love to your entire family. Thinking of you, Kim Page

To the Farmer family I am deeply sorry for your loss. Drake was always a funny and sweet guy. I will always remember the goods times we had at my quince and helping him do his Spanish homework lol when really I would do his Spanish homework lol! I will miss you!!

Drake was a very close friend of mine in graduate school. I am so devastated to hear this news. Drake was so special to me and I am so happy for all of the great memories we created together. I'm sending love and light to his family and close friends. Such a terrible loss. 

We are so sorry for your loss.  Judy and I are so very sorry.  We send all our love and prayers..

We will forever remember Drake.  He was the Best Man at my son's wedding.  Drake was one of 'my boys' growing up.  I remember picking up and taking him home, since 'my boys' usually came to our house.  I also remember him for his personality, charm, good looks and thinking he had so much ahead of him for a successful life.  My heart is breaking and will for a long time.
