Harry Anthony Drasutis, age 41, of Birmingham, Alabama passed away following a tragic motorcycle accident over the July 4th weekend while vacationing with his family in Gainesville, Georgia. He is the son of Harry John Drasutis and Paulette Ann Drasutis of Pensacola, Florida.
He was born November 28, 1969 in Shreveport, Louisiana and raised in Pensacola, where he attended Saint Paul Catholic School and Booker T. Washington High School.
