Heartbreaking News shared by Drayke’s mother
Drayke’s mother, Samie, posted on Facebook on February 11: “This is the result of bullying, my handsome boy was fighting a battle that not even I could save him. It is real, it is silent and there is nothing absolutely nothing as a parent you can do to take this deep hurt away. There are no signs, only hurtful words of others that ultimately stole our Drayke from this cruel place.”
“This boy knew love, every single day of his life, he was our world, my world, his dad’s world, his sisters’ world revolved around this boy. To know Drayke was to love him, he had a fire that lit for people, his witty personality and those baby blue eyes won over the world,” She added.
She continued her statement, “You are my saving grace. You are daddy’s hunting guide. And now you are the forever protectors of your big sisters. I’m not sure how to navigate this life without you. I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with you, and instead, you spent the rest of yours with me.”
“My heart is shattered, I don’t know how to fix it, or if I ever will, but I will spend every minute teaching kindness in the memory of my favorite dude.”
