I was a friend of Drew. He was such a super special human being.The world would be a better place with more people like Drew. I worked with him at Vilter Mfg.He sure was good at what he did.He could weld and cut holes like no one I ever saw.What a talent. I never ever heard Drew swear. He would always use a funny line if he got upset.

I remember he sure could play the harmonica. He always talked kindly of people and was always so proud of his family. I will forever be blessed for Drew touching my life

The best father-in-law anyone could ask for. He always treated me like his own daughter. He and Jaden had a very special bond and their qualities are so similar. I know Drew is so proud of all of his family members for their incredible strength and faith. I am so glad to be a part of the family. Anyone who ever met Drew was blessed forever. What a special man!
