Obituary

On Sunday, October 24, 2021, Drake Austin Pruden “Bubby” “Drey” passed away at the age of 19. Drake was born on October 11, 2002 in Ottumwa, Iowa.

Drake blessed the lives of so many people in many different states during his life. He was a military brat who lived in many different locations sharing his kindness, compassion, and love with everyone he met. He will always be remembered for his one of a kind infectious smile, beautifully kind heart, compassionate spirit, and jokester antics. He loved spending time with friends and family, and gaming with his friends. He always went out of his way to be welcoming to those who may need a little extra kindness, and was well known for rooting for the underdog.

Drake graduated from Astronaut High School in May of 2021 and had plans to transfer to UCF in January.

He is survived by his Mom and Dad Michelle & Craig Zaun, his sisters Alli and Isabella “Bella Bug”, his grandparents Terry & Sherri VanBuskirk and Curtis & Kathy Zaun, his great grandparents Norma Rubin, and Rose Thompson. He was preceded in death by great grandfather Emilio Rubin “Bob” and great grandmothers Joann VanBuskirk, and Nancy Parker. He is also survived by father Anthony Pruden, siblings Anthony, Libby, Zane, and Quentin, his grandfather Quentin Pruden and preceded in death by grandmother Carole Pruden. He has many surviving Aunts, Uncles, and cousins as well.

Services will be held at Baldwin Brothers Funeral Home on Monday November 1, 2021 at 3:00pm for viewing with ceremony to follow at 5:00pm. Flowers or donations may be sent to 2400 S. Washington Ave, Titusville, FL 32780.
