I was so shocked to come across this today. I met Drake working at CTDI in coatesville on the overnight shift back in 2012... we became very close... Breaks sitting in his car.. Falling asleep while on break... He was full of laughs and we shared a lot of them along with much more. His daughters were his world. I wish his girls, mother and sister much blessings. He was an Amazing Man! Will forever have you in my heart..
Tina.

My heart goes out to the many friends and family of a man full of life happiness smiles and compassion. Drake inspired many of us to climb that mountain of opportunity as well as life and fulfillment. . It is with a heavy heart i write this to you about a great man that i enjoyed being around as well as working with and had a smile from a great pear and friend. .. I hope we all can remember the great man that he is/was as i will never forget like you wont. Drake you will always be in our hearts and memories and will always be sorely missed. God bless and Rest in Peace !!

I am so very sorry for your loss. It was heartbreaking to learn of Billy's death - he was one of few people I've known my entire life. I'll never forget hanging out with the Drakes as a kid, and visiting in Pennsylvania and watching stand up comedy with Billy and laughing until it hurts. Billy, I hope you are at peace.

Rest In Paradise my friend until we meet again..

Billy will always be remembered by me. We grew up riding school busses and school busses from Elementary through HS. I was recently told that he thought about me as the nicest girl with a smile on my face (Always happy), I never knew that until now but I treasure those words in my heart and will remember his kindness forever - RIP Billy until we meet again. Prayers for your girls too Billy ❤

Cheyenne, Sequoia, ShoShoni, Kim, Virginia and Lesa, I cannot begin to say how sorry I am for our loss in the passing of Uncle Bill. He was one of those that you never saw leaving. I pray that God continues to give you all the strength to deal with his passing and the peace to carry on in his absence. I love you all as family and hurt when you hurt. Pray for me as I pray for you

I am so sorry for your loss. Drake, that's how he introduced himself to me at PNC Thorndale, was a true friend. He and I used to have lots of banter and laughter when he came in (which was almost everyday when he worked at Rite-Aid). Once again my condolences to the family.
