Drew was a high school friend of mine. I have so many fond memories that include his friendship. He was a wonderful friend, a comedian, a "big brother" type, a safe place, and a big part of my growing up in high school. What a great friend he was. He will be missed!
I have photos with Drew during fun times in High School- dances, Busch Gardens, etc. If the family is interested, feel free to contact me for them.

My deepest prayers and thoughts are with you during this time. May the...

Dear Gilmer family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Drew touched all of our lives in different ways. Now those memories are more precious than ever. Each of us carry a small piece of his life with us in our hearts.

In the three years we worked together, Drew became more than a co-worker, he was my friend. He...

Drew and I became fast friends in the short time we knew each other. I got the feeling that was the way it was for most people he met. His kindness, sense of humor and genuine humility were so attractive. I will cherish his memory. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. We will miss him greatly.
