I grew up just down the street from drake and me and his younger brother jacob became and have been best friends since i could remember and we were close to a point where we felt we were family and same went for mr. ceaser and drake.  I remember playing minecraft all the time with drake marcus and jacob and drake and marcus would make these really elaborate  houses and me and jacob would try and blow it up with tnt in equally elaborate ways and it almost became a war on who could outsmart the other. i remember every time walking into there house going to drake and asking him what games he is into and what i should get and him telling me about his computer and talking about his future plans. I remember playing games with him and trying to make people mad over the mic because we thought it was funny. I remember all the funny inside jokes we had and the funny accent me jacob and drake would always speak to each other in. I could go on in on about memories i have with drake, he was my brother regardless of what our birth certificates say i practically lived at there house and he was family, i loved him so much i cant even explain in words. I honestly could see pain in him i remember going out of my way every time i saw him for pretty much this whole school year to ask him how he has been and ask him about things and just keep up with him and just put in an effort to show him someone cared because i wanted him to know that i always cared if he was doing ok and i wanted him to know id be there for him . I wouldve carried all that pain on my back and wouldve taken it all into my hands for my brother just so he wouldve been ok, id do anything for you drake you meant the world to me i wish i couldve told you the extent of my love for you and your family as a whole.Rest In Peace drake you will always have a special place in my heart and ill forever hold onto the shoes I borrowed and didnt get chance to return, I love you brother.

God accepted another angel into his kingdom.  May you forever smile and be happy.

Joseph and I were close friends back in middle school. We rode the bus together every morning for almost three years, shared lots of laughs and memories together in and out of the classroom. The last time I saw him was the eighth grade...up until Saturday. About a week and a half ago, I went to the skatepark and out of nowhere a kid with green hair and glasses on a skateboard comes up to me and asks “do you remember Darnell?” I reply “yes” his follow up question was “do you remember me?” I think for a moment and say “no, sorry” then he asks me “do you remember Joseph?” And I say “yes” he tells me “yeah well that’s me” and believe me when I say I was in so much shock at that moment because I never thought I’d see him again. That moment. That was the last time I saw him. 
Rest easy my friend. I hope you have found peace. 

My dear friend... I'm going to miss you so much. You always knew what to say to make me smile. We were gamer friends online never met in person but that 3 yrs felt like a life time... You were the bro I never had. I feel very lucky that I talked to you on your last day.... Wish it wasn't your last day tho.... I love you bro so much <3

Joseph (Drake as we knew him) wore out the carpet in my house for many years.  I recall a time when all the kids were playing “Just Dance” and he says “I hate Justin Bieber! Can we play some Skrillex?!”  He wasn’t about being like everyone else.  He made his own path.  He was a best friend to my son, a protective cousin to my daughter, he’s done flips in my pool, spilled Capri Suns on my carpet, crashed on my couch, eaten dinner at my table, and has been a bright light in all of our lives.  He made an impact everywhere he went, even the connections he made with those in the gaming community a world away.  Our lives are forever altered by his absence, but his presence will be forever with us.  

Joe was the little brother I never had to ask for, because he was always right there. He always found ways to make everyone laugh, and no matter what was going on, managed to find the time for all of us. I'm proud that I got to know him, even if from a distance. Gaming was our past-time, and everyone who shared time with him will always remember him. He had a knack for leaving us with hilarious quotes, said in certain ways, which made them that much more memorable. Random sayings that would brighten our day, no matter how tough it got..

"Don't be sad, because sad spelled backwards, is das, and 'das not good.." 

Joseph Arevalo. Gamer. Friend. Brother. Legend.

We may not have met him in person, but we are all family online. It wasn't but a few days ago we were all playing Fortnite and having a blast. He always kept us laughing. I know he cared a lot for his friends, family, and his girlfriend that he always referred to as his wife. You will be missed dearly Kid.

I did not know Joe at home, but in our gaming community home. He was our little brother and always tried to make us laugh with him, and cheer us up if we were feeling down. We will keep his memory alive by following his example ourselves and being there for each other as he always was.
Lovingly,
Everyone from Shenanigans
