Andrew (Drew) Rolland Richardson was born on September 3, 1985 in Kalamazoo, MI to Pam Richardson (Martin) and Rob Richardson. Drew entered this world screaming and he continued to be loud throughout his life. He was raised in the Hastings area, graduating from Hastings High School in 2004. He loved playing soccer and wrestling while there.
Drew had many jobs in the Hastings area and enjoyed a variety of activities, including racing at the Kalamazoo Speedway, playing frisbee, riding dirt bikes, throwing horseshoes, and especially golfing. After the birth of his two sons, Ryker and Kyron, they became his priority. He cherished spending time with them, coaching their sports teams, and instilling his love for Notre Dame in them. Known for his "unique" sense of style, Drew was the life of every occasion.
Drew passed away at 38 years old, on March 3rd, 2024 in his home. He was preceded in death by his grandparents. He will be missed dearly by his two sons, Ryker and Kyron Richardson; his mother, Pam (Jay) Martin; his father, Rob (Deb) Richardson; his brothers, Aaron (Kayla) Richardson and Phillip (Lexi) Richardson; his sister, Samantha (Landon) Kohtz; and many nephews.
Drew struggled with addiction for many years and is finally at peace. There is a GoFundMe page set up to help support his sons, you can donate by following this link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/paying-tribute-to-the-richardson-boys.
