Passed away unexpectedly on Monday, November 15, 2021 at the age of 71. Ranko was born in the former Yugoslavia to Milan and Ljubica (Rakic) Drakulic. He grew up with his loving sisters Miljka and Anka. Growing up he loved spending time in nature - fishing and hunting. Fishing was a life-long passion he continued to share with his wife of 46 years, Ankica, children Tatjana and Goran, and especially his grandkids Kristina, Aleksandar and Teodor. Ranko was a loving, caring and understanding family man, who loved to joke and whose smile would light up the world. He loved spending time with his grandkids, and adored them very much. He welcomed his daughter-in-law Neda and son-in-law Brandon with open arms. Ranko found great joy in celebrations with friends. He will be forever in our hearts.
