Charles DuPre Obituary
1987-2021
Charles Andrew "Drew" DuPre, 34, of Greenville, SC, formerly of Texas, left his earthly body to be united with his Heavenly Father on Friday, November 5, 2021.
Born in Baton Rouge, LA, he was the son of the Charles Henry DuPre, Jr. and Constance "Connie" Ness DuPre.
Drew, also known as "no shoes Drew", was a beacon of love and kindness. His hugs were big and warm. His laughter was infectious. He never met a stranger, and if he did, they weren't strangers for long. He saw the good in everyone, loved fiercely, and gave selflessly. From the very beginning of his life, Drew's personality matched his hair and smile - big and bright. He loved his family and friends, hockey, tattoos, dogs, and fast cars. But he was happiest when he was Chef - cooking and creating. To him, food was love and he thrived sharing that love. Drew was the most amazing son, big little brother, grandson, cousin, nephew, and friend.
A funeral service to celebrate Drew's life will be held on Saturday, November 20, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. at Christ Church Episcopal, Greenville, SC. Committal to follow in St. Luke's Chapel Columbarium.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in his memory of Drew to Fisher House Foundation, www.fisherhouse.org. And always, spread love and joy as Drew did!

So sorry to hear of Drew´s passing. He was a good friend of our late son Gareth. We remember eating at Drews food truck in Austin a few years ago. We enjoyed his salmon sliders and shared stories of catching salmon in Alaska. Will remember a kind and warm young man with a passion for life and cooking. Our sincere condolences to his family.
