Andrew Hennings Obituary

Andrew Braden Hennings
Dec. 21, 1984 – Feb. 14, 2019
Andrew Braden Hennings, 34, died unexpectedly February 14 in Modesto. A service to celebrate his life will be held Saturday, February 23, at 3 p.m. at Del Rio Country Club. Friends, family and others whose lives he touched are invited.
Born December 21, 1984 in Modesto, Andrew was the younger son of Blake and Robin Hennings. He grew up in Wood Colony. He attended Hart-Ransom Elementary and Modesto High School (class of '03), where he was a standout track and field athlete. In 2007, he graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in Human Physiology. He went on to earn a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of the Pacific in 2010. He was a respected and well-liked physical therapist who helped many.
Drew or "Drew Drew," as friends and family called him, was a loving son, an awesome little brother, a fun-loving uncle, a generous friend, a gifted athlete, a knowledgeable professional, and a person who cared deeply about the well-being of others. He had a uniquely wonderful sense of humor. He could make us all laugh, and he did so often. He was a goof, singing Neil Diamond tunes by the pool at 2 in the morning. But, he was also a serious learner with deep curiosity. Conversations with him were special, to say the least. His ability to connect with people was a gift.
Drew is preceded in death by his father Blake. He is survived by his mother Robin, his brother Matthew, his sister-in-law Michelle, his nieces Wren, Blake and Tatiana, his grandmother Genny Braden, and his many uncles, aunts and cousins.
As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be sent to Tiny Tim Auxiliary of the Children's Crisis Center of Stanislaus County, c/o Robin Hennings, 2900 Standiford Ave., Ste. 16B, Modesto, CA 95350., or the charity of your choice.

Oh Robin. Karen called me with the news of Drew's passing. I am so sorry and heartbroken for you. You were so thrilled when he got into PT school and I'm sure he touched many lives. My love and deepest sympathy to you.

February 23, 2019

Robin, It was heartbreaking to read about Drew in the newspaper. I can only imagine the pain you are now bearing. While I haven't seen you or Drew in over 30 years, the bond I had when he was a baby in my home day care for those few short years, is one that causes my heart to ache at his passing. I know I had a few photos from that time I cared for him, and found this precious memory to share.
You are in my heart and prayers!
