Isaac Basil "Moose" Drake, Jr. – 68, Bible Hill, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Sunday, May 15, 2022, at home. Born in Glace Bay, he was a son of the late Isaac Sr. and Joan (Gilmet) Drake.

Moose worked as a traffic controller for various companies. He enjoyed playing pool and darts and absolutely loved motorcycles and wrestling. He was known in the Grand Prix Wrestling circuit as "The Scorpion" and as "El Diablo" at Whispering Winds Campground. He was an avid motorcycle enthusiast and owned many motorcycles, the last being a Goldwing; he enjoyed the camaraderie of the brotherhood of biking. He was a Montreal Canadiens fan, and this caused quite a few interesting "conversations", especially when his Canadiens played Brenda’s beloved Toronto Maple Leafs.

Moose is survived by his loving wife of 21 years, Brenda (Lambert); sister, Grace Earnhart; brother, William Drake; mother-in-law, Bernice Ross; sister-in-law, Deanne Lambert; his son, Mitchell LaPierre; grandchildren, Makalia Mitchell, Lauren Gray, Adrienne LaPierre, Nathan Murdock; great grandchildren, Grayson Mitchell, Keighan "Peanut" LaPierre, one expected. Along with his parents, he was predeceased by his sister, Geraldine (Ernie) Snooks.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. If so desired, donations in Moose’s memory to Diabetes Canada or Heart and Stroke Foundation are welcomed.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro. Private messages of condolence may be sent to the family by viewing Moose’s obituary on-line and selecting "Send A Condolence" at: www.mattatallvarnerfh.com
