Clint Weston Drake

Clint Weston Drake, 49, departed from this life on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, at his home in Grove, Oklahoma. He is survived by his parents, Max and Peggy Drake of Grove, Oklahoma; daughter Esther Drake of Miami, Oklahoma; sister Cassie Harper of Miami, Oklahoma; and fiancé Christy Harvey of Lowell, Arkansas, along with many other loving family members and dear friends. 

Clint was born on June 7, 1975, in Baxter Springs, Kansas, where he was raised. He attended the Riverton School District and graduated from high school in 1993. Clint studied at Christ For the Nations in Dallas, Texas, then went on to work many years in sales, management, and the insurance industry as a field inspector. 

Clint was a man of great character, strong opinions, and the best sense of humor. He loved family time, sports, music, good food, fine wine, cats, Looney Tunes, and was a die-hard Kansas City Royals baseball fan. He could commentate boxing matches like a professional, write a food critique that would amaze his Facebook fans and friends, and cook a meal that could make Guy Fieri envious. Clint was a man of his word, who promised to always disagree with his sister at all costs; In turn, she vowed to never lose a fight with him. 

Clint was a tireless defender of the underdog and ultimate encourager of the brokenhearted—this was his superpower. His daughter, Esther Grace “Essie,” was the center of his entire universe, and his fiancé, Christy Harvey, was the absolute love of his life. He loved the Lord and offered words of hope to those who needed it. Following the passing of his infant daughter Rachael Ann, Clint was always there to listen and give love and support to anyone who had lost a child. 

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 17, 2024, at 2:00 PM at the House of David, 22500 S SH-125, Fairland, Oklahoma. Pastor Tim Alsbaugh will officiate.
