RIP Drake...I've been there with you since the beginning. You - along with the entire Days cast - have brightened up many a dark day for me!! You'll be missed. 🙏❤️
When I was a teenager during the summertime, I used to watch days of our lives. I had a crush on him because he was really handsome for an older man. May he rest in peace. #LikeSandThroughTheHourglassSoAreTheDaysOfOurLives.
Rest in peace, Drake. You and Deidre Hall as Marlena saw me through some very dark times in my life - the stories you played out and the amazing love you had for your craft made you both very dear to me. May God bless your family and friends, and may He hold you in His hands. #RIPDrakeHogestyn #Days #JohnBlack #Jarlena
Yes my husband was in the Navy. When I started watching the show back in 2006. John and Marlena got me through deployments. My son who was 8 years old then. Also liked John and Marlena.
I'm still so heartbroken. I wasn't even a huge fan of his. But with everything I've read, he seemed like THE nicest guy. I'm so sad and to hear his last episodes have already aired? Sad. Also, I know he was technically a heartthrob in the 80s, but man, he truly aged like a fiiiiiine wine.
I've been a Days Of Our Lives for many years. When i heard the news about this. 😢 I saddened again. John Aniston , Bill Hayes, Now Drake Hogestyn so many memories of his characters John Black & Roman Brady. I laughed & cried with his character his dramatic scenes touching & wonderful a talented man in sports & a fine actor. My favorite & most memorable lines were : Who am i ? & of course : The purse , The Power & The Pawn 😅 I will always remember those lines. I'm so sorry i never got to meet Drake at The NBC Experience store he never appeared in New York where i live. It's like losing another family member i will always have fond memories of him he was an awesome person. He will be missed my heart goes out to his family & to Days Of Our lives.⏳😢😭😥💔🙏❤
I am saddened by this news. The end of one of the "power couples" on DOOL I am also saddened for his real family seems like a good kind man in the real world.
This is heartbreaking. I’ve pretty much watched days of our lives my whole life up until just the past few years when it went to streaming on Peacock almost all the original characters are now gone except for just a few it’s heartbreaking no more John Black.
I grew up watching DOOL in the early 70's whenever I was with my Gram and Mom too for many moons, and when I heard that one my most liked actors Drake Hogestyn had passed away at such a young 70 years old, from cancer, I was so in shock! My heart is broken for his family and all the cast on DOOL who have worked beside him all the years they have, etc. He was an amazing human being and great actor! After hearing about the funeral, etc. it really kinda sunk in that he was no longer and really hit my ❤ hard! My most sincere prayers and condolences go out to his family and the wonderful cast of DOOL such as Deidre Hall, Mary Beth Evans, Steve Johnson, etc. I'm truly sorry for your loss! Please stay well and safe in these days ahead! Thank you Mr. Hogestyn for the many years of great daily entertainment you gave as John Black all the years you have! You will never be forgotten!! 💔♥️🙏😢
This is so sad. I loved J&M & will miss this guy. Met him in Fort Wayne couple of years ago, such an amazing man. He will be missed. Long live John & Marlena's love ❤️.
He will always live in in our hearts. My heart is with his family and friends and those at Days of Our Lives and all of us who loved him. Thank you for the memories and may he R.I.P.
I remember watching when Drake came on in 1986 so very handsome and charismatic I was hooked. I loved the scenes with Marlena aka Deidra Hall and a Drake aka John Black the chemistry between them was so amazing you just couldn’t miss a day of watching. I’m saddened at his passing it won’t be the same without John .😢 He is truly missed.
It's so sad that Drake Hogestyn passed away, but it's really nice to know that off screen he was the most amazing person to everyone, and a really devoted family man. Condolences to his family and friends who knew him, and to all his DOOL colleagues.
I remember watching Days of Our Lives in the early 2000s with my mom, she was a huge fan of the show. I definitely remember being so annoyed with Sammy for being so angry about Marlena being with John instead of her father. I liked Marlena and John together. Me and my mother were really sad to hear of Drake's passing. RIP Drake Hogestyn.
John Black was my favorite character on Days Of Our Lives. Drake played that character to perfection. My mom watched soaps as a housewife but Days was the soap I loved growing up in the 80s and 90s. I never thought Drake Hogestyn would pass so soon. This hit me hard. He had chemistry with that whole cast back then but his romance with Marlena was beautiful. He was the character I always strived to be. True,humble,kind,sympathetic and heroic. Days will never be the same after his passing. Rest In Paradise Drake Hogestyn 😢
Ngl this kinda choked me up. Im 34 and have been a fan of DOOL since i was in the womb. My mom says the only times I'd kick were when i heard my dad's voice....and when the intro to Days Of Our Lives would come on lmao. RIP to an absolute legend and one of my TV dads 😞🙏
Oh how I love Days of Our Lives and will miss Drake so much. My heart breaks for his family, costars and fellow Days fans. He was so loved and adored and amazing as John Black.
I can't stop crying when I heard this sad news just now I didn't know that one of my favorite Days of our Life John Black had passed away I'm Soo Sorry my heart goes out too his family's and friends and I can't forget his Days of our Life star family's I'm going to really miss you John Black RIP 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️💛💛💛💛💛🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️💛💛💛💛💛💛🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️😇😇😇😇😇
Soar high with the angels!😢 I’m not looking forward to days without Drake. This just broke my heart this weekend. He didn’t look well but he played his role like always!🙏
I am so sad and heartbroken to hear about Drake. My heart goes out to his family. He will be so missed as he so generously gave heart and soul. His legacy will endure.
Goodbye Friend ! Youll be very missed . See you soon in Heaven . It took awhile but i warmed up to you . Could never stop loving Roman and Marlena together !!! And lets not forget how Marlena never Ages ❤️
I was so sad to hear this news. I have loved watching the soaps since I was a teen and Days of Our Lives was my favourite. John black was the best during his late 90’s time for me going into the 2000’s and beyond. I have seen him in other things including his dynamic episode in criminal minds where he brought the team back together after they were pulled apart by a new bad Director. He exuded power, heartthrob, toughness, humility, humour and so much kindness. He will be so missed. R.I.P Drake 💔💔
I just found out this morning he passed. It sucks they took DOOL off network TV. I used to watch every day. Whatba horrible way to pass, I had no idea he was sick. God rest his soul.
I loved the character John Black, Drake was a sexy and good actor and will be deeply missed. I offer his family, friends, colleagues and fans my deepest sympathies, May he RIP.
Marlena and John were like soap opera icons. I'm so sad to hear drake has passed away.
😢
You will never be forgotten ❤RIP Drake/John
What a legend John Black 🙏🏾😥💕
From 1997 into 2002, I was watching Days of Our Lives. He was one of the best things about that show. RIP.
I remember him before that I was in elementary school in 1991 and he was on tv
The reunion scene on the pier with Marlena was the best moment in TV history.
I always liked him n marlena. Rest in peace Drake
I was sad when I heard this yesterday 😢 He was my favourite actor on Days
So young and handsome he’s always been!😮❤
RIP Drake...I've been there with you since the beginning. You - along with the entire Days cast - have brightened up many a dark day for me!! You'll be missed. 🙏❤️

My deepest sympathies to Drake Hogestyn family especially his wife. His kids and grandchildren. Also to his Co-Stars. It can’t be easy for them.
He was so versatile on that show. Whatever fad that was going on that they put his character through, he did it.
He was my favorite. Watched Days since I was a toddler with my mother.
RIP 😢❤
You will never be forgotten, Drake. Such a talent and gentle loving spirit.
