Gary Vaughn Drais Jr., of Aston, age 40, passed away unexpectedly on the morning of Tuesday, April 28, 2020 while on his postal route in Malvern, PA.

Gary was raised in the Sun Hill section of Chester, PA where he built lifelong friendships. Graduate of St. Roberts Elementary School and a 1998 graduate of Cardinal O'Hara High School. In his early years, he paraded with his Dad in the New Years Mummers Parade in South Philly. Gary also played baseball for the Brookhaven Babe Ruth League. As a young adult, Gary worked as a delivery driver for Kyj's Bakery while also pursuing his Nursing degree from Delaware County Community College. Gary worked as an LPN with the geriatric population within various Assisted Living Communities. After a few years, Gary hung up his scrubs and 8 years ago he proudly became a member of the U.S. Postal Service. Within that amount of time, Gary made many lifelong lasting friendships. He was a hardworking Dad who loved to care for and to be of service to others. Most importantly, he wanted his kids to succeed in anything that they did. He was exceptionally proud that his son, Dominic, was accepted into Penn State University for this upcoming Fall semester.  For many years, Gary coached Dominic in baseball, and his daughter, Gianna, in softball along with many other players through the Brookhaven Babe Ruth League; he was looked up to by so many.  Gary was an all-around Philly sports guy; he watched the Eagles win their first Super Bowl and took Dominic to the parade to celebrate.
