Michael David Drago was welcomed into the Kingdom of God November 17, 2020. He was a current resident of Mandeville, LA and spent his first 32-years in St. Bernard Parish, relocating after Katrina.  Michael spent his childhood in Arabi where he attended St. Robert Bellarmine Elementary School.  He was the son of Charles Drago Sr. and Marie Drago and a loving sibling of Charles Drago Jr. (Jennifer) and Gina Moreno (Edward). He took pride in his nieces and nephew Oliva Moreno, Drago Moreno, and Bella Drago. He will be missed by his many cousins. Michael loved his big family and their gatherings. He worked many years in the grocery business with Winn Dixie and Rouses where he enjoyed meeting people and helping his customers. He loved making friends and greeted everyone with a smile. Michael was a dedicated member of his Church, serving many of his younger years in Arabi as an altar server and later as an usher at Mary Queen of Peace Church. He was avid sports enthusiast and a devoted Saints fan. There will be a Memorial Service on Tuesday, December 1, 2020 at 10:30 AM at Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church, 1501 W.
