Gwendolyn Blocker wrote a sympathy message

“Yogi, was like a brother to me and my cousin Michael Drakes. We grew up together, raised by my grandparents. He is gone from our sight but never from our hearts. Words can't ease the pain that you are feeling in your heart right now, but I hope you know that I am thinking of and praying for you. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold. Love, Gwen Blocker”
