Tamara, hopefully you remember me -- Drew and I played tennis together at AHS, and I only recently found out about Drew's passing through Facebook. Though Drew and I lost touch after I graduated, I was still heartbroken to hear this. Drew was, without question, the personality of the team. I can remember so many times we'd go out after a tournament where he'd basically be the one-man comedy routine for the night. Always knew how to put others around him in a good mood. Just a great person. He's missed by many. Thinking of you, Jack, and Greg.

Thoughts have been with Drew's family since hearing of his passing. I went to high school with Drew and we shared a lot of the same classes together while at Arrowhead. He was always such a nice person to EVERYONE... He was always happy and always tried talking and getting to know everyone..

I remember seeing how close he was with his mom... he just adored her. I remember thinking to myself that if I ever have a son someday that I would want the kind of relationship with him that Drew Swan had with his Mom.. That is how much it stuck out to me.. God Bless his sweet sweet mother for raising such a sweet heart!

My heart aches for his mother, father, and brother during this rough time. I know you must miss his physical presence so much. He will always be with you though- and you will embrace each other again someday.

Hugs, Thoughts & Prayers to the Swan Family

Drew Drew Bear-babyboy,

It's Allie, babygirl-princess. Happy 25th birthday my love. I know you are getting treated like a king up there and we will be celebrating your life down here. So many amazing memories I have to be thankful for with you. I've been going through the countless photos, letters you've written to me & cards you've given to me, all week…one in particular that I love reading is a 22nd birthday card. Our “last famous words” to each other on every card given back and forth were always “I would do it all over again, I will always choose you. 11:11-I'm always thinking of you. PS: I love you..always” And so, since I cannot send you a card today I want to remind you again, in writing, that I would do it all over again and I will always choose you. Every 11:11—I'm ALWAYS thinking of you Drew. I love you..always!
This is a little collage I came up with and trust me, choosing the 4 pictures were NOT easy lol, of us celebrating your birthday together for the first time 5 years ago during our college spring break in Disney World. I hope this makes you smile.
I love you..always.
Allie

Your son and brother was a big part of our lives. He was very special in SO MANY ways. I remember the first time Allie brought Drew to meet us and my dogs loved him. I knew he was special. My dogs don't love just anyone. He will live on. God rest his soul. A special Angel named Drew is watching over all of us.
With Sincere Sympathy,
