Tonya,
I am so sorry for your loss. I just heard about Drews passing and I am so sorry. Please know that I will be keeping you and your son in my prayers.
We worked together in the ER at UC and our husbands played baseball together.

I did not get a chance to attend the funeral but my condolences to the family of Andrew. He was a great guy. I went to St. Agnes with him in the 8th grade. We both lived in Bond Hill. He will be missed.

Denson Family,

I am truly sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of Andy and his family during the latter 1970's. We played together on and off the baseball field and basketball court year round. Of course that included some whiffle ball in the driveway of his parents' house in the summer. That's where he taught me how to switch hit. I was always in awe of Andy's athletic abilities. He was an inspiration to all of us.

I will always be thankful that I had the opportunity to spend quality time with him and his family. Those experiences have given me memories that will last a lifetime. I will always cherish his memory.

In Sympathy,

I knew Drew from kidney dialysis. Drew was a great guy. We found out that we had so many friends in common. Drew always spoke so proudly of his son Andre. Drew will be missed.

Drew, I am honored to have known you on this journey. I had the pleasure of playing with you as a teenager. You were a Great ball player and a MUCH, MUCH Better person. I remember the time you drove up to U of Dayton and took two broke college students to dinner and later bought groceries. I lost a friend but gained another Angel. LOVE YOU Bruh!

We will always remember and love Drew in our hearts. He was a man of few words, a man with a big heart, a Godfather to our daughters, a man who loved being around sports and the youth in his community, the father of our Godson, and he was the husband of one of my dearest and closest friends.

Drew gave the best heartfelt "bear hugs" and he could always make you laugh, even if you were laughing at yourself.

He no longer has the pain and worries of this world. He is free and at peace in the presence of God. In our sorrow and despair, we also can find solace and comfort from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as He is always at our side, and also, God gave us each other to lean on, to hold, to cry together, to share memories, to listen or just love.

In Compassion, Care and Love,

David, Michelle, Briana, and Brooke

Technically didn't know Drew personally, but based on the friends of mine that did know him I can tell he was a good dude. RIP Mr. Denson.
