Mike will truly be missed. Will miss my childhood friend who lived down the street from me while growing up. Prayers to his son and family, sister and love ones. Emma Taylor-Warfield

Big Mike was more like a brother and he was a friend. He and my brother were the best of friends, there for each other in the good and bad times. He was a part of the Drake family in heart, mind, and soul. We will miss his smile, laughter, and genuine love he had for each of us. Sleep in peace my brother; no more pain. You'll be forever in our hearts.
