Please continue to pray for Cletus, Judy, Jana, and the rest of the family as they mourn this loss.

The funeral service and meal originally scheduled for Thursday evening has been postponed until further notice. Thank you, FBC family, for all your kind words, prayers, and willingness to serve.

Drake Alan Malone, 31, of Lepanto, Arkansas was born on October 21, 1994 to Timothy Lee Malone and Jana Jo Tacker Malone in Jonesboro, Arkansas. He went to be with Jesus on Saturday, April 25, 2026.
He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Pawpaw, Leroy Malone, Jr, and Whitlee’s sweet baby.
Drake is survived by his mother: Jana Jo Tacker Malone of Lepanto, his father: Tim Malone (Kellie Allen) of Lepanto, sister and best friend: Whitlee Laine Malone of Lepanto, Grandparents: Cletus and Judy Tacker of Lepanto, grandmother: Janet Malone of Tyronza, uncle: Paul Malone (Mitzi) of Lepanto and Cletus “Trey” Tacker, III of Heth, aunts: Teresa Harris (Percy) of Osceola and Stephanie Tacker Pritchett of Brooklyn, many cousins, hunting buddies,
family and friends.
Drake had the biggest heart. He loved his family and especially his dogs that he trained to fetch and hunt. His hunting and fishing ability came naturally. He spent a lot of time preparing places to hunt with his dad, grandpa’s, uncles, cousins and friends. He would do anything to help his family and friends. Since Drake was a kid, he worked alongside of his Big Daddy, traveling to farm auctions, and learning the trade and hauling back farm equipment to be sold. He will always be remembered for telling the best stories. They were always funny and true. His happy place was being in the outdoors.
In remembrance of Drake, please feel free to wear your hunting attire to his service and bring your turkey and duck calls for his final farewell.
Services are postponed until further notice.
Arrangements are under the care of Delancey Funeral Home, Lepanto.
