Drake was an incredible man.

He was funny, generous and thoughtful.

He cared about every single scene, every person.

He loved Days, the fans, and shared that passion with everyone on set.

My heart breaks for his family, they meant everything to him.

Great stories were told.

So sad to hear of Drake Hogestyns passing.

Such a wonderful and kind man.

It was a pleasure to work with him.

I always loved how much he loved his wife and children.

I am so sad.Drake was the best.

The best.I had a storyline with Drake in 2003.

I was the clueless neophyte.

He was the venerable legend.

And he could not have been cooler, more helpful, or more wonderful.

A truly one of a kind.

So kind, hilarious & talented.

Loved his family so much.

I know he’s up there telling one of his many stories.

Thanks for the laughs Drake.

I’ll always love and miss you.

My deepest condolences to Drake Hogestyn’s family, friends and fans.

What a lovely, lovely gracious man.

Sending prayers and love to the family of Drake Hogestyn.

He was a talent, a gentleman, and most of all a good human being.

RIP Drake @DaysPeacock@daysofourlives

You were more than just my tv father, in my eyes you were my dad.

Thank you for everything you taught me and the love you gave me.

The world lost a true Hero.

Miss and love you so much Drake.
