Thank you for noting Drake Logan's birthday. I and others would love to read his PhD dissertation. Can anyone forward it to me or tell me where to read it. That would be very special. Drake and I monitored Depleted Uranium together at the Army Pohakuloa Training Area in the center of Hawaii island.

Much appreciation.

Drake, 3 years. How is that possible? It seems like yesterday and a hundred years ago all at the same time. My kids  still speak your name. Mainly Kate but they all still fondly remember you with love and happiness from when you would push them on the swings or play with them. 

I finally, finally had a dream about you. It was so comforting. We were walking through the Tampa airport and you went to the left and held your hand out to me. I grabbed it and then we started flying. I woke up but felt like we truly were together. I loved it. 

Send me some signs, would you? 

Love you.

Yenny. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Hey Drake, been thinking of and missing you lately. I keep going back to the documentaries you voluntarily made of the youth organizing around homelessness in SF around 2010. It was so amazing that you captured the heart of it all, youve inspired me so deeply, I know we would have had a much deeper friendship as the years went on. I know you are doing work from the otherside, you continue to inspire me.... to create a documentary, or documentation of some kind, of these stories that must be told that cannot be reduced to bite sized. I love you. 
Drake, I still think about you all the time and talk to you, too ❤️ as you may have noticed. That's because I miss you. I think you would be pleasantly surprised by how much you come to mind fondly ^_^ you're one of a kind, my friend, and as long as I live, I will always remember and honor you.
Missing you and sending you so much love from this side to yours. . .Big hug and know your light shines on over here!

Back when I was a newbie, starting as a baby activist in IVAW, Drake took me under their wing from the start. We had many hours of talks on the phone. After several of months of working with Drake, I finally met them in person in an IVAW event in Austin, TX. . It was my first live event and I was kinda at awe and intimidated by Drake. We didn’t talk much. They approached me and said, “you’re Jovanni, right?”, carrying a huge smile. “Yes” is said, “nice to finally meet you in person”.   Smiles back. And don’t remember speaking with Drake during the remainder of the event. It was as if I was star struck or something. The second time we met at another event it was different. It was as if we’ve known each other for decades! Well, that’s  my story and I’m sticking to it. Love ya, Drake. 
💜💜💜 on my mind and heart today and many days, Drake.  

Dear Drake,

Holding your spirit in my heart today on this, the second anniversary of your passing. We all love you and remember you with fondness and respect. 

Love,

Jen

You'd be hella proud of the work I've been doing with youth in Portland. I'm sorry I let dumb shit from college get between us staying in touch. I was always incredibly proud of the work you do, and of our journey together. You'll always be one of the loves of my life. Thank you for all that we learned and enjoyed together. Miss you, and carrying your presence and memory with me today. 

I'm so sorry, I just discovered this. He was an amazing artist that showed In my gallery. 

What happened? He was  so young?

Dearest brother,

I miss you so much. Calling to laugh at the latest political nightmare or to learn new imaginative names for blessed leader, Donald J. Rump is sadly missing from my life.  I always felt better after talking to you because your laugh would calm my anxious soul and we would work out whatever was gnawing at our psyche together. I still talk to you and I have this strong belief that you hear me and answer. 

The year that has gone by has flown faster than light. It feels like yesterday your mom called me and we cried together. I wish it wasn’t this way but I take great comfort that you are dancing in the ether covering all of us with love and joy. My children grieve for you as do Del and I. Kate especially misses her Uncle Drake and loved your kind heart more than you could know.

You are missed, dear one,

Here is a little poem for my friend Drake

Drake - Your presence continues to grow

By Aaron Nankin - 09/19/21

Did you know that your picture is on my alter and that you watch over me even when I do not notice it?

Radiantly smiling down on me with your toothy grin, and kind eyes that cut through illusion

Always there in the times when I wish I wasn't, saying "you are doing great, you are exactly where you are supposed to be: receiving my love to strengthen your bones"

Keeping the fabric of this world together with your love, you are the invisible stitches of this universe 

East, west, north and south, your kindness and your strength, your unconditional love, and your artful spirit is everywhere

Dear ones who loved Drake,
An obituary for him will be in the San Francisco Chronicle this Sunday, 11/15. It was written by Jolee, edited by me & Drake's mum, and has info gleaned from Heidi Rhodes. Though Jolee wrote a spectacular draft, the task was impossible. It cannot do justice to Drake's rich life (36 years in 3 paragraphs??) nor all the many many people who were SO important in his life over the years. I wanted to run the obituary for longer (starting yesterday for Veterans' Day; continuing today for his birthday and through the weekend, maybe like for a week) but the cost was prohibitive. So, sorry that it will only appear briefly, but wanted to give all of you a heads up in case you want to get a newspaper. Thinking of Drake so much today, and of everyone who cared about him....

Hi all,

I knew Drake from Free Your Voice Self expression workshop. We became friends quickly and gravitated toward each other. The first time we really connected was outside the workshop on maybe our 2nd or 3rd session. He hugged me and held me in powerful light of compassion and gentleness and knowing when I broke down after class due to a crisis and I’ll never forget that moment. From then on we had a profound bond that transcended superficiality and included how to navigate suffering with grace, compassion, sensitivity, Self expression, lightness and vulnerability and open heartedness and a slow pace that felt right for both of us. Here is a poem I wrote for Drake. I’d love to hear your poems of Drake and/or how the poem resonates in your own experience of Drake.

My friend Drake
By aaron Nankin

It mystifies how much cannot be known about a soul
until it’s blown beyond our reach
And yet everything that is real can be understood by how someone makes you feel, even when deceased
the pain in ones eyes
the words unspoken
the time that flies
pieces that are whole, yet broken
And while accolades and stories and land travelled and people impacted
One thing I know for sure
There are many facets of a person
Each a sip of their divine nectar, to taste their divinity so pure
Drake was so many things to so many people
a beacon of hope; how a devout worshipper might View a church steeple
He was a advocate for our mothers, earth, and all who give birth to truth
and like leaves in the wind, his brilliant colors dispersed and diffuse
He felt poisoned in his blood as the military poisoned the soils
He was truly of this flesh, connected to the planet and her spoils
A highly empathic being, who was a Channel of holy seeing; he carried the light of the universe, so brilliant, heaven and hell, steadfast and serene
And shared this light with generosity, in bold and transcendent ways
Standing for what he believed in, and following it to the grave,
a truly authentic being, he lived his truth, for the sake of life indeed
It is clear the fruit of his truth seeking
Was all the relationships and loving seeds
Planted in all of our hearts, all the loving glances, hugs, and vulnerable shares
Drake was someone remarkably humble, alive, viscerally present, tender and bare
He made sounds with his actions without talking much about it
He touched hearts with his love, now our hearts can’t live without it
He was an angel on this earth, a truly ascended being; carrying and illuminating the pain in our blood, our soil and all things in between
He pointed to what we must open to: our hearts must learn to receive; to soften to the pain at the core of this delicate web we weave
He held more pain than so many of us, because he was a sensitive vibrant light
He died too soon, before his time, because he just simply was too bright
To stay constrained to a body; now hes free; soaring, expansive, intact
We now feel his presence, in our hearts, filling up what we have lacked
Thank you Drake, for teaching us how truly humbling and holy this life is
You are in your rightful form
You are at peace, shining your light-ness
Here is video from our joyous karaoke session in honor of Drake on 10/24. Apologies that Maggie M's heartfelt number was not included in the recording! https://cccconfer.zoom.us/rec…
