Mr. Andrew McCue Webb

My name is drew webb too

Drew was and will always be my HERO. His heart and soul were made up of courage, kindness and compassion. I will forever feel blessed to have had the chance to know him.

I only today read about Drew - I taught him in 3rd grade at ROBS- I remember him well and am so sorry for your loss. Marc Bell

George and I always thought Drew was a great guy. When I was a freshman at EHS and Drew was a senior, I learned what an outstanding student he was. We won't ever forget Drew and we send our sympathy. We are lucky to have you all as such great neighbors.

Dear Webb Family,

I had the privilege of serving as Drew's editor at the Cornell Daily Sun for two years. Drew always brightened my days with his humor, wit and kindness; I remember countless hours spent laughing and joking around with Drew as we struggled to come up with the perfect headline that captured his brilliant, off-the-wall sense of humor. His creativity, intelligence, passion and dedication made him my favorite writer on The Sun by far.

Drew was truly one of a kind--- I am so grateful for his friendship, and for the opportunity to have had such an exceptional person in my life.

To the Webb family:

I am sorry this is so late. I was just made aware of Drew's passing recently.

Drew was an amzing young man and he will be missed dearly. I hope you find peace.

I will always remember the long conversations Drew and I had about all things sports when he was one of my JV football players and students at Episcopal.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I had the honor of knowing your son while we worked at the same lacrosse retail store 2 years ago, he was a very well talented young man with a good personality, I'm so sorry for your loss, please forgive me for sending my condolences late, your family will be in my prayers, as well as my families prayers.
- Josh Prado

Drew's Family:

I remember the inspiration that Drew was for me in high school as a lacrosse player. I think he made the entire Houston area better at lacrosse. I didn't know him too well personally but I respected him greatly, and looked up to him. I will be praying for you.

To the family of Drew Webb

I was a classmate of Drew's in the Penn Program. We also lived in the same neighborhood and sometimes rode the bus together, but regretfully, I did not know him well. I wish I had, though, because as a person who has long been affected by a major depressive disorder, I think we would have had a lot to talk about. I understood Drew's desire to be someone who could help people who are suffering, and this truly breaks my heart.

I wish you all a safe period of healing and to find comfort with each other. May your son please rest in peace.

hi Mr & Mrs Webb my name is Sheila Kelly I'm the security at episcopal. I would just like to let you know that i am deeply sorry for the lost of drew i go to know he very on his days at the school. May the love of god continue to bless you and keep you very strong to endure the lost of your love one. Drew was so amazing and he will be miss very much.

The Webb Family,
You are in our hearts and in our minds during this most difficult time.
Cherie and Jeff Reitman

To Drew's family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I was lucky enough to be Drew's lab partner in Biology last semester. We had a great time and I looked forward to seeing him in lab every week. He kept all the hours we spent there fun with loads of crazy stories. Despite the brevity of our acquaintance, he will be sadly missed. This program is just not the same without him. I am very honored to have known him and am deeply sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.

The Webb Family,
Drew was such an inspirational and remarkable young man. I knew Drew through my sister, Sydney. When she brought Drew home for the first time to meet the family we all immediately fell in love with him. You could not get any better than Drew Webb. He always treated my little sister with the highest respect and I enjoyed getting to know him--always looked forward to his visit and always asked Sydney to bring him around. Although I did not get the chance to know him well, he definitely made a strong impact in my life that I will take with me forever. We will always think of Drew and miss him temendously. We will always remember him for the amazing man he was and for the amazing Angel he has become. May your memories of your beautiful son and brother bring you comfort and strength. Our thoughts and prayers are forever with you.

To The Webb Family
It was with great sorrow We heard of your loss. You are in our prayers.

Hall, Dorothy and Thurston,

Drew's memorial service yesterday was the most healing memorial service I have ever attended.

Hall and Thurston - you shined a bright light on Drew's life - to light up the dark spots and to celebrate your lives with Drew.

Drew's achievements of being a great brother, son, teammate, coach and friend came across loud and clear. I imagined Drew smiling up in heaven.

Thank you,

To the Webb Family~Our sincere condolences on the passing of your son, Drew. We only knew him through his great & even style of coaching our son on the Hurricane Lacrosse Team. We remember his ready smile and he was always ready to talk and to iisten to the team and their parents. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Mike & Eileen Medler-Chrzanowski and Ethan Medler.

Dear Webb Family and friends,

Drew has always been a personal hero of mine. Whether it was in scouting, sports, or academics, Drew had it all. He put so many other people in front of himself and inspired everyone around him. It deeply saddens me that such a great guy isn't with us anymore.

Drew, thank you for being such a great role model for countless numbers of people in the city of Houston and all over the country. You will be missed.

Hall, Dorothy and Thurston,
Wayne and I were deeply saddened to learn of the loss of your beloved Drew. Like Myrna, I too remember listening to the stories of his latest antics. I always enjoyed his company at the Christmas parties or during the visits to see Dad at work. I know he was a very special son and brother. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this time and in the months ahead.

Drew Coached our Team Houston lacrosse team the summer going into my senior year. He had so many other options that summer, yet he chose to coach our team because he couldn't stand that the Dallas teams were better than Houston's. Everyone looked up to him with so much respect. He is truly an amazing guy.

Dear Dorothy and Hall, Doug and I wish we were there with you, to give you the long hard hug you deserve. Drew sounds like such an amazing kid and one who will be remembered in many hearts. Bless you both and know we ache for you. We send our love. Susan and Doug David

Thoughts and prayers are being lifted up for your family. I knew Drew during our time at Cornell. I will always remember him.

Dear Family and Friends of Drew,

I did not know your son, but he sounds like a wonderful person. So many young precious people leave us way to early and it is very hard to understand. We wonder when they are so kind, giving, caring, creative as to why they have to leave us so soon.

We share in your loss and sorrow as we lost our son Dec. 30, 2009 at the age of 25. He was also kind, creative,gifted and caring. Our Brian was a DJ for the NAMI walk last year. We wish you strength in knowing that others share in your sorrow. The memory of your son will live in your heart and in the love of your family and friends.

May God surround you with the love and support you need to move forward with life.

Webb Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I had the privilege of going to EHS with Drew, I did not really talk to him all that much there but I would see him in the halls always smiling, I recently had the pleasure to see him with some of my other friends, he was so nice and open we had such a great time. He will truly be missed. Drew and his family are in our prayers. May God Bless

Dear Dorothy, Thurston, and Hall,

On behalf of my fanily and my son Will V we wish to express our sadness at your loss. My son and I knew Drew through scouting and lacrosse at ROBS and Episcopal. Our prayers are with you.
Will Fisher and family

We all feel his absence in our classes at Penn and are so sad that he is gone. I am glad to have met Drew and will carry his memory in my heart as I continue forward into a career in health. He was always so kind and friendly in a quiet and modest way. Keeping him and your family in my prayers.

We were saddened to hear of your loss. Drew was a remarkable young man, loved by so many. Please accept our sincere condolences. Ted, Debbie, Sarah and Pat Schultz

To Webb Family

When I heard the news I immediately paused and was deeply saddened. I met Drew during his coaching days at Houston Christian,worked with him at the players camp in summers and coached against him when he was helping the Hurricane travel team. He was a inspiration to all he came in contact with and will be remembered always. I wish your entire family, unity, strength and courage in the days ahead.
God Bless
Mike Newton
Memorial Coach

Lots of people you don't even know are out here praying for your family. And very sorry about Drew. He was a star.

I do not know your family nor do I know Drew, but I am so sad to read this today. I pray that God will use Drew in the many ways he did on earth. May your memories bring you comfort. What a great kid!

Drew has been a shining star to our family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and with Drew.
The Jewell's, Zach, Gabe, Karen and Dave

I am so deeply sorry to hear of your loss. Thank you for sharing Drew with all of us if only for a short time.

We have our memories but we will all miss him. You raised a wonderful son. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dorothy and Hall,
We are all so saddened to hear of the loss of your darling Drew. I will never forget when he and Melanie were taking those acting lessons together when they were 6 or 7. He was so precious and funny and touched so many lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family at this difficult time.
Love to all,
Mick, Jim, Jennifer, Melanie & James Pritchett

Oh Dorothy and Hall, I am so sorry to hear of this extremely sad event. What a precious young man! I have always thought so much of your family. Marianne Parker and daughters, Frannie and Natalie

Willie Heins

To Drew's Family,
I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your son. I knew him through my sister, Sydney, who spoke of him often. Although I only saw him a few times, he always had a smile on his face. He made such an impact on the lives he touched. I will miss hearing about him and will always be grateful for how wonderfully sweet and caring he was to my sister. I pray that you find comfort in the support of those around you and that you find peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mr. and Mrs. Webb and Thurston,
Drew is an amazing person. He embodied humor, kindness, joy, commitment, the pursuit of something greater than himself, a strong will, and a love for those around him. He was my recruit freshman year at Cornell, and I knew I wanted him to be on my team. He was naturally gifted, with a strong body, fast feet and such a hard shot, but he worked extremely hard too. The Cornell team praised hard work and commitment from all players, so even when Drew wasn't starting, people recognized and respected how much he was willing to do to make himself and the team better.

On the personal side, Drew could be amazing without even being there, though we always wanted him to be. His biweekly columns caused weekly conversation. Every other Friday it was "did you read Drew's column yet? It was hysterical!" And in the off-weeks, it went along the lines of "Is this Drew's week? No? I can't wait until next week." There was so much inside of Drew that when he opened up a little view into his take on life that we laughed with him and shared in what he could do for others. In thinking about Drew, I don't want him to be confused with a prankster or the class clown. Drew was hilarious in an uplifting and positive way. He didn't have to make fun of others or tease people to be funny. He loved everyone around him and wanted to make our day better. He did so just by being himself. Being in his presence was always a good time. In his senior profile he wrote that being with Henry Bartlett was his favorite off-field time. I think every one of us could say being with Drew was one of our favorite off-field times. I'm grateful for, and a better person for each memory I have of Drew. To touch on one such memory, Drew made a song that basically had some beats to it, a little bit of music, and the one word "Webbman", and makes me laugh out loud just thinking about how funny it was to us. Something so simple for him gave us hours of laughter.

As I said, he was my recruit freshman year, and I wanted him to come to Cornell. Today, I am so happy to have had Drew in my life, and will always feel that way. To all those who took part in Drew's life, and especially to Mr., Mrs., and Thurston Webb, Thank you for being a part of his life and allowing him to share it with all of us. We love you Drew.
... Webbman!

To the bereaved Parents and other family members at this time of sorrow. May you receive the needed strength and courage to endure your great loss. May the many memories you shared together bring you much comfort now and in the days to come. You can also look forward to a time when death and even those conditions that sometimes leads to death will be no more. This blessing along with so many more will take place under God's Kingdom rule.

Dear Webb Family,
We are deeply sorry to hear of Drew's death. Drew coached my son, Jackson, on the lacrosse team he took to Rochester last year. We all admired Drew and enjoyed being with him. Our hearts ache for your loss.

Hall & Dorothy,
We are so sorry to hear about Drew's passing. Our children attended Cornell with Drew. Karen Garrett introduced Drew to us in 2004. May God Bless you all and give you his comfort and stength during this difficult time.

To Drew's Parents,

I was hoping I could write to you a real thank you letter, but I hope I can convey how deep my respect for Drew was through this website. I knew Drew on two levels - we were both athletes at Cornell and writers for the Daily Sun. In fact, as fate would have it, I wrote Drew tons of fanmail about his column before realizing we actually knew each other from sports. I know you've heard a lot of incredible things from Drew's teammates, but I'd like to tell you how he affected me as a writer.

Drew inspired me to write comedy, which changed my life and made me so happy. His stunning wit, unparalleled creativity, and incredible way with words caught my attention, and made me hope that I could follow in his footsteps. When I began writing for the Sun, he mentored me with insight and advice.

What I took from all of this was that Drew was absolutely one of a kind. On top of being an imaginative story teller with a knack for hilarity, he was a genuinely kind person who went out of his way to help someone who admired him.

Drew's ideas, unbelievable intelligence, and uncommon talent really left a mark on my life. I will always remember and look up to him. Thank you for raising a son who truly broke every mold.

Hall, Dorothy & Thurston,
We were very sorry to hear abut Drew's passing. He always knew how to bring a smile to one's face. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Drew was an amazing athlete, scholar and friend to many. Brilliance and creativity are often accompanied by depression and it remains a fragile dance between those forces. I am so sorry for your loss and wish you comfort in the best memories of your son.

To the parents of Drew Webb:
I am so sorry for the loss of your amazing son. My friend lived in the apartment above him, this has had a great affect on us, and I could only imagine the pain you must have. I hope that you find the strength and comfort you need to get through it the best you can. I am so so sorry. I am someone who didn't know Andrew, but Andrew seemed like such an amazing, smart, caring young man, from what my friend has told me, from what I read on here and in his bio, just seeing that smile, i see that he was above and beyond! It breaks my heart, and my condolences go out to you, your family and all of Andrew's friends. I will be praying for peace to fill your hearts and take away the pain. May he rest in peace.

So saddened by your loss. He was such an inspiration to many - his teachers, classmates and younger boys, such as mine. Intelligent, athletic, creative, funny, and on and on.... Tears cannot stop.....

Hall, Dorothy, and Thurston, sadden to hear of Drew's passing. We will always remember him as a bright and witty young man. Loved reading his blogs while at Cornell. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Without Drew's commitment, care, and thoughtfulness as a coach to me and other members of the Hurricanes, i know that i would not have been able to grow to love lacrosse and play it as well as i do now. All of his players on the Hurricanes will deeply miss him.

Drew was one of the nicest, and funniest boys at ROBS.... I'm so sorry for your loss.

Words can not express how we feel. Drew always brought a smile to our faces. His energy, witt, and humor lit up the room when he entered. His is an unforgettable presence. Our hearts are broken at his loss, but we know he is in a safe place. He will always keep an eye out for his Cornell brothers and all those he touched.

Hall, Dorothy, and Thurston:
I am very sorry about Drew's passing. May the good memories comfort you in the years to come. I still remember him as a little boy with those big eyes looking at me wondering what in the world I was saying.

Hall, Dorothy, and Thurston,
I am so very sorry to learn of your loss. I remember Drew fondly as an outstanding student athlete and leader at Episcopal High School. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My son played at St John's and his first year was against Drew. He was such a great player and person. We are all in shock and pray for you.
Chuck Guffey, T55 Assistant Scout master.

Thoughts and prayers of many are surrounding you with love and support at this time of great loss. May God bless you with many fond memories of Drew all the joy and laughter he shared with you and others who knew him.

From a parent of an EHS Classmate: Drew was indefatigable and very modest about his accomplishments. We will all miss his presence in this world!

Dear Family and Friends of Drew,

Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your precious son, brother and friend. I am so very sorry for your tremendous loss. May God bless you on your journey through your grief and may you receive the strength and healing needed during this difficult time.

I want to thank you for requesting contributions be made to mental health organizations and for bringing attention to this issue during this most tragic time in your lives. I didn't know Drew, but I lost my 18 year old son Kevin last year as a result of his bipolar disorder and know all too well the devastating effects and high risks of mental illness. God bless!

Hall, Dorothy, and Thurston,
We were so sorry to learn of Drew's passing. Even though your hearts are broken, you still have the wonderful memories of Drew and his many "antics". I loved hearing the stories of "what Drew has done now!" He was like a breath of fresh air even though at times, it probably seemed more like a hurricane. He was a great son and brother and I'm glad I had the opportunity to know him. May the Grace of God and knowing so many friends are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers, give you peace, comfort and strength to face the coming days. You are a special family to us for which we are very grateful.
Myrna and Bill

So sorry.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
