I have fond memories of Drew from high school. Hadn't seen him in years, but always remembered what a great guy he was. I was very sad to see this. Rest In Peace Drew.

My dearest Hollands. I am so heartbroken that our sweet Drew couldn't fight that awful affliction. We will always remember his sweet smile and gentleness that was his real self. We love you all so much.

Drew, lil butt head, damn Andrew got me again or right on Drew are some of the ways I would refer to Drew often...Drew was in a way the little brother I never had. He is also that little brother that drove you crazy because as we got older Drew easily became the better Surfer, skateboarder, BMX rider, cliff diver and whatever else he set his mind to. His big smile (often mischievous) and positive spirit (also playfully mischievous at times) is how I will remember him. I was saddened by the struggles and demons he faced and I know he was to. Unfortunately we cannot always control our bodies and our minds and I'm thankful he no longer has to walk that scary and seemingly lonely road. The Drew I know and choose to remember was a sweet, caring, family means everything and truly kind soul. Sharon, Carty, Corban, Tyler and Elaina and all off the Holland, Strand, Romig families my thoughts are with you and I love you all.

Sharon and Carty, When I read in the paper about the death I was hoping it was not your son...then I read the obituary. I cannot even imagine losing a child, a precious, loved son. You both have been in my thoughts these past days. Hug each other and breathe.

Praying for you, Holland family. He was a joy to be around the few times I had the privilege of serving with him. The most memorable for me was when he came to serve lunches to the homeless at Prado Day Center. We love you guys and will continue to lift you guys in prayer.
Love, the Wyrick Family.
