I had been so concerned after not hearing from you for several weeks, I feared the worst. After searching your name online, I saw the awful news. Although I never met you and we were just players on a stupid online game, we had the opportunity to chat and I felt like I knew you and I think it was the same for you. I knew instinctively that you were a special person and always looked forward to hearing from you. God bless you with rest and eternal peace. May your family be comforted at this difficult time.

Domer-Shank Family,
Dana, Jay and I want to express how sad we are at the loss of Drew. He was a kind and open-hearted soul. He and Dana shared the same birth date, so I think she always felt a little extra connection. We will be out of town so not able to attend the memorial, but please know we are thinking of you and wishing you peace.

I enjoyed having this person in my daughter life. He was her teacher in head start. They had the best bond ever. I would see Drew almost everyday, either, teaching, caring, comforting one of our children. Most genuine person I met. Thanks and we will deeply miss you Drew. Deepest condolences to family, close friends and the staff at the school.

I had the privilege of working with Drew at Rosa Parks and he was such a light in the building. Always enjoying his students and sharing a smile with all. Drew became a great friend and he was always there to share his optimism and any encouragement you needed. He has made a difference in so many lives. Everyone, including the kids, loved him deeply and he will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family as you go through this difficult time.
