Andrew "Drew" Owen Garis, 52, of Prince Frederick, MD, passed away on April 21, 2025. Born on July 23, 1972, in Silver Spring, MD, he was the beloved son of Carolyn and Rodger Garis.
Drew married the love of his life, Kari Ann Martin Clubb, on June 14, 2002, in Prince Frederick, MD. He dedicated over 35 years to his career as a Service Manager and was most recently employed at Waldorf Ford, where he was known for his expertise, work ethic, and warm personality.
More than anything, Drew was a devoted family man and the greatest "Pop Pop" in the world. His happiest moments were spent surrounded by his children and grandchildren. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed boating, camping, golfing, and riding dirt bikes-always finding joy in adventure and the simple pleasures of life.
Drew is survived by his loving wife, Kari Ann Martin Garis; his parents, Carolyn and Rodger Garis; his children, Andrew (Haley), Alexis (Michael), Gordon, and James; his cherished grandchildren, Kensley, Thea, Bentley, Oliver, Sawyer, and Lenora; and his sisters, Gayl Jackson and Dawn McCrobie.
Family and friends are invited to gather on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at Rausch Funeral Home, 20 American Lane, Lusby, MD, from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM. A funeral service will follow at 2:00 PM in the funeral home chapel, officiated by Deacon Andy Geisz. Interment will be private.
Drew will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, and his legacy of love, laughter, and loyalty will live on in the hearts of his family forever.
