RIP Drake Larson
This is the second of my daughter’s friend’s who passed away within 13 months of eachother. She had met the 2 boys together because the boys were the best of friends. Drake passed away after being a passenger in a car driven by his teenage friend that lost control and rolled 7 times just 8 days ago. He was amazingly funny and bizarre at the same time. Some of the thoughts that would come out of his mouth made you think he wasn’t all there, but he was very kind, friendly and loyal to a tee! Drake was only 14 years old.

Rolling a vehicle SEVEN times is difficult to do unless it;s down a mountainside or the speed they were travelling was outrageous. It’s so devastating to the parents and loved ones when they realize how easily something like this could have been avoided with just a small amount of caution. Unfortunately, most teens have little sense of mortality. My best to your daughter, Steph.. this can’t be easy for her. I recall losing a few schoolmates to tragedy as well.

My condolences to the family and your daughter :( I’m so sad when that has to happen! We lost a 16 year old a few years ago. Very sad..
