I met Drew the first day of sixth grade at Walnut street school when my family moved to Brattleboro. I was new to the town, to the state and I looked different than the other kids. I was nervous and scared, but by the end of that first day, I was part of a cluster of desks with my new friends and Drew was one of them. We went trick or treating and took karate class together. Drew invited me to his birthday party where I met his family. In the sixth grade we had to give reports in front of the class. When other kids read off flashcards and hung up posters; Drew just talked about fishing with his dad. Drew gave the best report by far. I remember the look in the eyes of our teacher undoubtedly thinking of time spent with his own son.
Middle school turned into high school and I lost touch up with Drew until the time my family moved away. I wish I had been a better friend during that time.
11 years later I came through Brattleboro to attend a course at SIT. Drew and I met up and we talked and laughed about things we did and trouble we go into when were just 12 year old kids.
I remember that summer evening spending time with my friend. 20 years later I still think of it often.

I'm grateful for the moments and constant late nights I got to share with Drew. I originally met him through a mutual friend on Xbox, and that's how I became friends with him. After that, there are times when we'd simply chat about how things were going, and this is how I got to really know Drew. Never one to complain, and just an all-around great guy. Drew brought a brightness to any room he was in, and was simply fun to be around. Drew was one of a kind, and I'm going to miss him greatly. RIP, dude.

Drew proved himself to be a man to look up to. Through trials and tribulations that would have crushed lesser men, Drew cherished life and spread his joy to all he touched. His life was an example for us all. He will be missed.

Jenny, Barbara, David, Claire, so sorry to read of Drew's passing at such a young age. He will be missed by everyone whose life he touched, especially his lovely wife Jenny.
The obituary was so beautifully written and so touching. It certainly is a lovely tribute to his short but colorful life.
R.I.P, Drew and enjoy your heavenly family until Jen and all the rest of your loved ones join you someday. Peace
