Draylyn Latrel Johnson was born March 21, 2006 in Fort Dodge. As an extremely artistic person, Dray didn't use speech; he used songs. Everything was a lyric to him. His musical genius was running through his head continually. His positive energy radiated to everyone he met. Dray was a loyal and loving friend. But his greatest love was for his family. He loved spending time with his girlfriend Hailee. Dray recently got his first job and enjoyed making and spending his hard-earned money. He will be missed forever by everyone who knew him.
Memorials may be left to the discretion of the family.
