A funeral service will be held at 3:00PM on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at Antioch Baptist Church, 6223 Love Mill Rd, Monroe, NC 28110, with burial to follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 1:00PM until 2:45PM in the church sanctuary.
Christopher will always be known for his outgoing personality. He never met a stranger and had a big heart for the people he loved. He was daring and full of life, he enjoyed riding motorcycles, hanging out with his friends, and collecting treasures. Christopher struggled for years with demons and addiction. Our prayer is for others who struggle to reach out for help.
Christopher is survived by his four children, son, Christopher “Bubba” Neal Drake, three daughters, Paislie Mae Drake, Tinsley Joy Drake, Kayleigh Grace Drake, a sister, Harley Bradshaw (Jake), two nieces, Hazel Mae Bradshaw, soon to be Landri Elizabeth Bradshaw, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
