The song has ended but the melody lingers on.
Drake Jacobs, 27, of Ephrata, passed away, Sunday, July 27, 2025. Drake was the loving son of Shana Jacobs, wife of David Long, of Ephrata, and David Jacobs, of North Carolina.
Drake was a 2016 graduate of Ephrata High School and went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in economics from Albright College in 2020. He worked as a procurement operations specialist at Clark Associates.
Drake was well-known for his lasting friendships and offbeat sense of humor. He had a deep love for music, particularly metal, and never missed an opportunity to attend a live show or music festival.
In addition to his parents and stepfather, he is survived by his sister, Rhiannon Jacobs; stepsisters, Sara Long and Rebecca Albino, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

It was an honor to be Drakes friend. I met him in middle school when we both decided to be in choir. Despite me being bullied at the time, Drake still decided to be my friend. He continued to be my friend till the very end. We had so many similar interests and I considered him a close friend. I had the honor to serve him at my job weekly and constantly catch up with him. It’s heartbreaking because I feel like I just saw him the other day. May he rock on in the heavens above and be treated to the greatest metal to ever exist. I will always remember you Drake. My prayers go out to your loved ones. You lost someone more special than most. – Julian Zapata

I had the pleasure of meeting Drake through my son. I could tell from the moment I met him that he was a good person down to his core. As the years went by I would talk to him many times when him and my son hung out. The most memerable time I spent with Drake was when we went to Desertfest 2022 in NYC. Five of us in an airbnb going to a multiday metal fest in the heart of Brooklyn. One of my favorite concerts I’ve attended. You will be missed, Drake. My condolences to his family and friends.
