Drake, I’ll never forget you getting in trouble with mr Martin freshmen year for having the wrong colored index cards. I told him you were colorblind and you whispered thank you.. Then your graduation party when you imitated your British friends accent, I never knew you were so funny. You were always kind and talented. You will be missed, rest easy

I had the pleasure of working with Drake at Seeq and always appreciated his willingness to step into customer situations and help support their needs.  So smart and talented!  We also found a common interest in poker and often shared about recent games we'd been in, hands we'd seen, etc.  He was clearly a sharp and bold player far more experienced than his age would suggest.  Wish we'd had more time... as we all do.

I met Drake as he was building his career in Dallas. I connected with his personality and creativity; so much so that I advocated for him to come work with me. Sad that he's gone too soon; happy that I have some touching memories to carry with me.

Cherishing the weekend Drake, his cousin David and I went skydiving in Santa Barbara, California. 

He loved skydiving! During college at UCSB, Drake went on numerous dives, and was close to being certified for solo skydives. 

This was a Christmas present for both Drake and David. 

Up we went! Almost 14,000 feet, over the Pacific Ocean we flew. The views were amazing…Blue skies, blue-green ocean. 

We each were strapped to a master diver. Drake went first…They did flips in the air! David next, then myself and my master diver. I was not expecting the flips, thank you Drake for asking my instructor to give me that heart in my throat experience! 

The soaring was amazing…So glorious to float, with breathtaking views. 

An experience we shared… Drake often told me how much he loved these memories, how he found these experiences to be so special. 

To the ultimate adventure Drake…
Love,
Gramm and Pawpaw
