Bradley James Drake, age 61, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Sunday, March 16, 2025, at his residence in Barnes, WI. He was born on April 6, 1963, in Waukesha, WI, the son of Richard and Lesley (Krebsbach) Drake.

Brad was born and raised in Waukesha and graduated from Waukesha South High School. He enjoyed a successful 39-year career with Quad Graphics in Sussex, WI.
