From the day I met Drew onwards, he was a constant source of amazement to me with his non-stop enthusiasm for people & life. He was the "ultimate positive Energizer Bunny"! Drew was just that type of guy - interested & interesting! I sincerely appreciated his insight & encouragement during a certain time in my life, and for that I will always be grateful. It was helpful. But that was Drew - always a contributor to life! During our years working together I regularly noted the respect he received from others - from disparate walks of life. This occurred in large part I believe because he was always so respectful of others. A wonderful attribute from a guy who wanted everyone to be a better person Drew did more than his share of making many people better. You will be missed Drew but I know you are in a special place able to do your dream combination whenever you want - "fun runs"!
Marcy and family, sincerest condolences!

I only knew Drew through running and we had a few great battles many years ago (with him mostly winning!). He was a terrific guy and reading through these comments confirms how many people he touched and how much he will be missed. My deepest condolences to all of Drew's family.

It was with great sadness that I learned of Drew's passing. Though I'd not seen Drew in decades I remember him as a compassionate and hugely positive force in life. My condolences to Marcy, whom I also remember fondly, and to Drew's whole family, his friends, and his colleagues. I regret that I will not be able to come from Haida Gwaii to the memorial this week but will be thinking of you all.

Marcy, Hailey and MacKenzie,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your husband and father. I, like so many others, remember his infectious smile and good will.
I've always liked this quote by the author Janice Kulyk Keefer from the book "The Green Library""
"But I have learned that the dead travel in our blood, crossing seas and years to show themselves in those they've never seen: in the shape of an eye, a way of touching a face."
May you find some comfort in these words.

We miss Drew a lot. We'd often see him in the morning while driving Zachary to school and he'd always have a smile, a wave and some friendly words to share. Marcy, please remember our house is always open to you and the girls anytime you need an ear, a shoulder, and just a break. We love you guys. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Marcy, Hailey and Mackenzie... I've read all the wonderful tributes to Drew from those who remember him for all he was and all he did. I have thought long and hard to remember what stands out most among my memories of Drew. What I remember most was the smile, the twinkle in his eye, the warm words, the pride and the honest and deep-seated love I heard when he spoke of any one of the three of you. Drew was many things to many people, but I saw the proud husband, father and family man that perhaps others did not see. I feel your loss as 34 years of knowing a man in different roles, places and professional responsibility is hard to forget... the politics, organizing, tourism, economic development, sports, 'debriefing sessions', travels and good will... I will always remember Drew for his honesty, integrity, class and of course, the smile. Drew will be missed. Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. God Bless you Marcy, Mackenzie and Hailey.

I only learned today that Drew had passed away. What a guy. Handsome, athletic and always one with a funny joke and then on his way. He helped me find my way back into Economic Development in 1994 after having worked together for many years on the tourism file when it was still in government. My sincere condolences go out to his family.

I have had no contact with Drew for years but when he was growing up he practically lived at our place. I always loved him as another brother. He and Dennis were the best of friends and for years, constant companions. He was one of the first visitors I had after my first,daughter,was born. I am sorry for your loss. The world will be a lesser place without Drew and his smile and wonderful disposition. He was loved by many in our family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Marcy's and Drew's family. I had the honour to meet and work with Mr. Hutton on Horst Schmid's campaign in the mid 80's. He introduced me to John Dalziel who helped me get my first job in Radio and John also introduced me to Candace:) So indirectly I have Drew to thank for the best things in my life:) He was a honourable elected member of Alberta's Legislature, a very positive hard & working man who loved to smile:) We will miss him.
August 26, 2014
Marcy, Hailey, Mackenzie and family,
It is our good fortune to have the Hutton family as neighbours and close friends. We grew to know Drew as a thoughtful husband, tender father and one of the good guys. He was an athlete, philanthropist, humanitarian, and had a gentle sense of humour. We are sad that he is gone, but comforted to know that he is at peace.

When Drew was a young messanger he came across a young policeman having difficulty arresting an individual for attempting to steal the Lieutenant Govenors limo. (The Lieutenant Governor was still in it) Drew assisted the young policeman and an arrest was made. Forever after with a gleeful grin he would tell the story of how he saved the young policemans life. Thanks again Drew.

Drew once told us two "final" messages - one from Joseph Campbell, the other from Aldous Huxley - would be included should he be asked to give mankind some incontrovertible guidance: "Follow your bliss and be kinder to each other". We are so grateful to the people who took the time and made the effort to compose and record their thoughts, memories and nearly ineffable feelings about Drew. We know Marcy, Hailey and Mackanzie appreciated your sympathy and solace.
