Funeral plans have been announced for the Bergen County man who was among eight killed this week when a pickup truck barreled down a New York City bike path.
A funeral Mass will be held Monday in the Church of the Ascension at 9:30 a.m., followed by burial at Fairview Cemetery.
Drake was a project manager for Moody's Investors Service at the World Trade Center. He was out for a bike ride between meetings Tuesday when the truck hit and killed him, in what is being called a terrorist attack.
His father, James Drake, says that he drove Darren every day to the train terminal in suburban Hoboken so he could commute to his job in the city.
