UPDATED MEMORIAL INFORMATION

Friends,

We have been overwhelmingly blessed by your outpouring of support, condolences and prayers for our family during this challenging time.

Because of the coronavirus, we have been faced with some difficult decisions in how we should gather to grieve and attend to the emotional and spiritual needs of the family, while also respecting the medical concerns of holding an event.

With that in mind, the family will be holding a service to worship the Lord and commemorate Brian's life on Friday at 2pm, at WeCare Wellness Center, 827 W Prairie Ave Hayden, ID (previously known as Foundation Fitness). We would gladly welcome you if you should wish to attend.

However, for those who are concerned about attending or have existing medical conditions or are in at-risk categories, please know that you can join in the service via webcast on this page.

We know this will be very difficult for many of you to not attend. We expect that there will be a future event to honor him publicly after the virus has passed, so please do not feel pressured to attend now.

For those that choose to attend, we will be conducting precautionary measures in line with what some airports are doing: disinfecting surfaces, screening attendees for temperatures, and providing hand sanitizer. There will not be a receiving line of any sort.

Thank you in advance for your understanding. And thank you all for your continued prayers and support for our family. It is needed, and so much appreciated.

For those of you who loved Brian we are asking that you please post on this page photos, videos and memories you have sh...

OBITUARY FOR BRIAN DRAKE

Our dearest Brian Stephen Drake went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, March 12th.

Brian was born on October 29, 1974, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Brian grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, where he attended First Presbyterian Day School and Jackson Prep. He loved playing football and soccer for Prep, and his high school sports friends would remain dear to him throughout his life. He played football for Mississippi College before moving to Montana. Brian attended Riverwood Bible Church, where he was baptized, as well as First Baptist Church, both in Jackson.

Shortly after meeting her at Easthaven Baptist Church in Kalispell, Montana, Brian declared that he would marry Jennifer Miller. They wed in 1999 and moved to Texas, where Brian earned his doctorate in chiropractic at Parker University, and Brian opened up his first clinic.

In 2012 the Drakes moved to Idaho to be closer to Jen’s family - a move also influenced by Brian's love for the great outdoors. Brian loved and was extremely active at Heart of the City Church in Coeur d’Alene, where he served on the worship team. He often said that if he could not be a chiropractor he would have pursued a career in music. His guitar was always close by.

Brian was a giant among men - in physical size, in strength of spirit, and in the great love he had for his Lord, which drove his service to his family, his friends, and his church. Brian brought laughter and joy and fun everywhere he went.

Brian leaves behind his treasured wife, Jennifer, and their four children: Brenner (16), Hudson (14), Asher (12) and Aubrey (11), as well as his parents Jerry and Kathy Drake, and siblings Ruth Taylor (Mickle), Jonny Drake (Catherine), and Chad Drake (Pamela), and many nieces and nephews.

A service worshipping our Lord and celebrating Brian’s life will be held on Friday, March 20th. As details are still being arranged, information regarding time and location will be published on “Brian Drake Memorial” page. A livestream of the service will be broadcast on that site as well.
