John Drage, who pastored The Rock Campus Church at Mizzou for 30 years, died Friday at his home in Columbia, after a yearlong battle with brain cancer. He was 53. He wanted college students to know the love of Christ, and thousands of those students called him a mentor, encourager and friend. He is survived by his wife, Amy, and four children, Josh (Emily) Drage, Jessie (Zac) Siems, Caleb (Renee) Drage, and Than Drage.
