(ALBION)

Robert E. Drake, age 62, died November 18, 2021 after losing his fight with COVID19. He was born March 6, 1959 in Albion to Burly Snow and Frances Drake and was a life-long resident of this area. Robert was a person who never forgot where he came from and received great enjoyment from travelling, living off the land. He was a lover of the outdoors and could usually be found under the hood of one of his many vintage muscle cars or riding one of his many motorized vehicles. As an avid hunter he enjoyed hunting large and small animals as well as shooting his firearms. He was a proud member of the NRA but had a greater pride for all his children in that they have embraced many of the things in life which he enjoyed. He is survived by his mother: Frances “Penny” Gibson of Hilton, his children: Heather Dawn of Kent, Shannon (Josh) Graham of FL, Amanda Drake of Albion, Angel Drake of Albion, Robert Drake of Barre, Courtney Drake of Kendall, Brandon Drake of Albion, Breanna Drake of Albion, Brandon Burton and Amber Cooper of Spencerport, his sisters: Juanita Pfenninger of Hilton, Ann Marie Bartel of Kent, his grandchildren: Ethan, Drevon, Damien, Lamiya, Pyper, Bryson, Nevaeh, Olivia, Bennet as well as several nieces and nephews.
