“Mr. Drake was my neighbor growing up on the East side of Ankeny. He later became a coach during my time playing football at Ankeny High School. I loved his passion for the game and always felt respected in the way he coached me as a player and the way he communicated with me as a person. He was a great role model for me as a young man. My sincere sympathy to the Drake family for your loss. Eric Whitney”
