Boldt, Andrew (Drew) Frederick

Andrew (Drew) Frederick Boldt, 21, tragically passed away on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014, on the campus of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind.

He was born on June 11, 1992, in Milwaukee, Wis. While living in Wauwatosa, he attended Christ King Grade School. He graduated from St. Frances Cabrini Grade School in 2006 and then graduated from Marquette University High School in 2010.

While in high school he earned his Eagle Scout Rank in 2009, with Saint Frances Cabrini Troop 796. He played football, competed as a pole-vaulter for the track team and earned regional awards on the Hilltoppers FIRST Robotics Team 1732. In addition, Drew was a member of the Latin Club and enjoyed competing at State and National Junior Classical League conventions.

At Purdue University Drew was working towards a degree in Electrical Engineering and lived all four years in Cary Quad Southwest. He was past president of Cary Racing and worked with a team of students to build and race electric go-karts for the annual Purdue Grand Prix. He also served on the Cary Dorm Board. He was employed by the College of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) as a Teaching Assistant and served as an Officer for the ECE Student Society. Drew also worked as an intern the past two summers for the John Deere Corporation. He was due to graduate in May 2014 and was hoping to accept a full time job with John Deere.

As the date draws near of your son's passing 7 years ago, I just wanted to let you know that he is not forgotten. After reading about him again, he sounds like such an amazing and loved young man with so much to look forward to. I know the pain of losing a child all too well as our daughter passed away at Purdue (Hillenbrand dorm) at age 19 in Sept. 2010. We also have a West Bend, Wisconsin connection as that is where I grew up (my family still lives nearby so I visit often). It's such a tragic and sad loss to lose a child so I wanted to reach out and let you know that I'm thinking of you and will pray that our heavenly Father will feel near to you and give you the strength and peace to face each day.

To honor Andrew's memory today, I think the most important thing is to carefully consider what we can learn from the way he lived his life. Hebrews 10:24 encapsulates this precisely: "And let us consider how we may spur one another on to love and good deeds."

Praying for your family on the days of remembrance of your tragic loss of your beloved son, Andrew, last year this weekday. So many grieve this loss of a life well-lived and trust that you are still in the midst of healing. The Lord promises that he is near to the brokenhearted and He, alone, is faithful to carry your burden and walk alongside you through the darkest days: "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you... I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland." (Isaiah 43:2,19) Prayerfully, a Purdue parent of an E.E. classmate of Andrew's

We feel a connection to you...we have a student at Purdue and we are also from Wisconsin. Our hearts are breaking for you after hearing about such a wonderful son you raised and how he was so tragically taken. My daughter wants you to know the vigil that Purdue held in Andrew's honor was the most unbelievable, touching and emotional tribute to your son she's ever experienced. We are praying for you and hoping God will help you get through this. We also hope God gives you the strength to move forward.Thank you for raising and sharing a wonderful son to Purdue...so many students and teachers enjoyed his superb teaching and endearing personality.

Hey just thought I would let you know that I don't have many friends or have many people that I know at this school. I would always forget his name but he never failed to help me on homework or labs we had in the same class over the last couple years. I had at least one class with him every semester for the last couple years. He was always cheerful and helpful and was exactly what I needed to get me through those assignments. He was extremely bright and had a great future ahead of him. I am extremely sorry for your loss but I hope you can find solace in the fact that he was light in the darkness for me, and no doubt many more.

My wife and I attended Purdue from '76 to '80. I lived at the Quad for four years. Our hearts go out to you in this tragedy. He sounds like a fine young man, as many that I remember from those days were. We can believe, "it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known." Again, so sorry for your; and in fact, everyone's loss.

I'm so saddened to hear of Drew's death. I didn't know him but we went to the same grade and high schools, although 50 years apart, so I feel some kinship with him. My condolences to his family and friends - he was too young and vital to have left so soon.

As the mother of an Eagle Scout, mechanical enginering grad of Clemson University,and a member of the SAE race team I feel a connection with Andrew's family.Many of us said a silent prayer that day that it was not our child, but it could have been. However, the first thought I had was how awful and sad for the family of Andrew. He sounds so much like our son, which means he is loved. May God give you the grace to go forward and endure.

Gail Hannah

My great-nephew, Michael Lehnerz, was a childhood friend of Drew's when both attended St. Francis Cabrini School. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time.

The Hand of God
The hand of God formed me.
The hand of God feeds me.
The hand of God protects me.
But most of the time
The hand of God simply touches me.
That is enough.
No matter what has happened today
No matter what I fear about tomorrow
No matter what I have done in the past,
Right now I am simply peaceful in being in God's presence.
Right now I am in God's hands.
Right now I am being touched by God.

We are a Brookfield Academy family, and Drew was a dear friend to our children. They knew him through their involvement in Latin and other social activities. He was viewed as a mentor and inspiration. As we continue to discuss his passing, we all agree on various aspects of his legacy: kindness, helpfulness, enthusiasm, and genuine care for others. We all appreciated his sense of humor and intelligence, and felt he was simply a great guy to be around. We are committed to honoring Drew by emulating all his positive characteristics. We are praying for his family and others who feel his loss.

You have been in my thoughts and prayers during the past week. My heart aches for each of you and I pray that God watches over you and tends to you in the upcoming weeks. Andrew seemed like a wonderful son and may those memories help you in your darkest hours. My son Alex was impressed that in many of the pictures of Andrew that were displayed in the media he was wearing his Kairos cross. A reminder to all of the type of person Andrew was. Marquette High has lost a member of it's family; please know Andrew will not be forgotten. May God Bless you in your time of sorrow.

Andrew and I are the same age. We were in the same Technical Writing class last year. I currently close the computer lab that class was in every other night. Every time I'm in there now, I remember him. It's hard to go in there. I didn't know him real well, but I know enough that he had a lot going for him and it angers and upsets me so much that it was all taken away. I can't imagine what his family is going through, but I wish them the best possible in their time of grieving. If there is any kind of official fund, I'll be sure to donate what I can. I know it can't bring him back, but if it will keep his memory alive or help his family financially, then I'm willing to help however I can.

I first met Andrew last semester working as a teaching assistant for an ECE class I was enrolled in. He managed to take an otherwise frustrating and difficult lab into something that was enjoyable and became one of the highlights in my curriculum. Talking and being with him outside of class however really helped to show what an amazing individual he was. His life will forever serve as a reminder to me to live life in the most helpful, thankful, and caring manner possible.

I have been thinking and praying for your family as my family went through the same pain when we lost my nephew Derek in such a way. He was working in a music store when someone robbed the store and shot him. He was 22 years old. That was 9 years ago but some days it feels like it was yesterday. Our faith got it through, as I pray yours will too. My son Zach is also a student at Purdue and knew your son and hung out with him in the same group of friends their first years at Purdue. My son surrounds himself with good people like your son. Please know that all of Andrew's friends have been praying for your family from the first day. We are weak but He is strong! I hope you will lean and draw strength from knowing that God is with you.

We are praying for your family. Andrew and our son were fellow Purdue EE students and Jesuit HS graduates. Our son told us that Andrew always wore his Kairos cross. May God's peace be with you.
