Alfredo Drew

Alfredo “Don Alfredo” Drew, age 82, passed away peacefully on March 10, 2026, in Houston, Texas. Born in Reyes, Bolivia, he built a remarkable life defined by his faith, hard work, resilience, and deep devotion to his family.

Alfredo spent nearly 50 years as a skilled jeweler in New York City, where his talent and craftsmanship earned him the opportunity to create designs for prestigious luxury brands such as Cartier and Tiffany & Co. in the 1990s. He dedicated over 25 years to his final employer before retiring in March 2020. He was a true New Yorker -- was always on the move—quick-paced, focused, and determined. He was quiet and observant, yet those who knew him well cherished his witty and perfectly timed humor. Alfredo was generous beyond measure, the kind of man who would always give more than what was asked. Strong in both spirit and character, he never let life’s challenges slow him down.

Family and friends were always at the center of Alfredo’s world. He made it a priority to stay connected, whether through a phone call, a shared cup of coffee, or time spent walking through the city. He found joy in life’s simple pleasures: eating a good meal, watching a good soccer match, checking the price of gold, and collecting coins.

After retiring, Alfredo moved from New York to Houston, Texas, where he spent the last six years of his life surrounded by his daughters and family. He is lovingly survived by his children, grandchildren, and his siblings.

Alfredo’s legacy is one of integrity, generosity, and quiet strength. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Alfredo “Don Alfredo” Drew, de 82 años, falleció el 10 de Marzo de 2026 en Houston, Texas. Nació en Reyes, Bolivia, y vivió una vida marcada por su fe, el trabajo duro, la resiliencia y un profundo amor por su familia.

Alfredo fue un talentoso joyero en la ciudad de Nueva York durante casi 50 años, creando diseños para reconocidas marcas de lujo como Cartier y Tiffany & Co. en la década de los 90. Dedicó más de 25 años a su último empleo antes de jubilarse en 2020.

Fue un verdadero neoyorquino: siempre en movimiento, observador y reservado, y un humor ingenioso que aparecía en el momento justo. Alfredo era increíblemente generoso, el tipo de persona que siempre daba más de lo que se le pedía. Fuerte de espíritu, enfrentó la vida con determinación y nunca permitió que las dificultades lo detuvieran.

La familia era lo más importante para él. Disfrutaba compartir un café, caminar por la ciudad, ver partidos de fútbol, leer el periódico, revisar el precio del oro y coleccionar monedas. Vivió bajo la frase, “Siempre haz lo correcto,” un principio que practicó a diario con bondad y generosidad.Tras su jubilación, Alfredo se mudó a Houston, donde pasó sus últimos años cerca de sus hijas y su familia.

Le sobreviven sus hijos, sus nietos, y sus hermanos. Será profundamente extrañado y siempre recordado.
