Governor Bentley Expresses Sympathy in Death of Rep. Owen Drake

MONTGOMERY – Governor Robert Bentley today issued the following statement after the death of Representative Owen Drake.

“With great sadness I heard the news this morning that my friend and former colleague, Representative Owen Drake has passed away. Owen and I spent many days serving alongside one another in the Alabama House of Representatives. He was a dedicated public servant throughout his life, not only serving as an elected official, but also in serving his country in the Air Force. My prayers are with his wife Kathye, his children and grandchildren. Representative Drake was a true servant of the people, but most of all he was a good friend and will be greatly missed.”
