Goodbye to a truely wonderful person who made my sister so happy, Drew where ever you are, thank you for making those around you happier, David Luttrell

What an experience!

I lost track of Drew after college and noting his gift for community development and his spirit for accomplishment I am very proud to have known him.

Condolences to the family,
