Andrew "Drew" Spear, age 67, passed away on November 15, 2022 at home surrounded by his loving family. Drew was very strong and bravely fought cancer. He was born in Reno, Nevada on February 9, 1955 and graduated from Willingboro High School in 1972 where he was an accomplished track star. He was predeceased by his parents, James and Helen Spear; and his sister, Antoinette "Toni" Hite. Drew will always be remembered for his kind heart and unique spirit.
He loved to spend time with his daughter, going to the shore with family, playing music and writing songs with his friends, and was a lover of all animals. Drew always had fun going to yard sales with his loving companion, Nancy. He had a special spot in his heart for his foster kids, Selina and Gabby "Max."
Drew will be forever loved and missed by his family and friends, including his 35-year partner, Nancy Cundiff and their daughter, Paige "Zim" Spear; his loving sister, Diana Wallace (Bill). He was beloved by his aunts, uncles, and many many cousins, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
Graveside service will be held 12 pm, Monday, November 21st at the Odd Fellows Cemetery, 4527 Route 130, Burlington. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made in his memory to a No-Kill animal shelter of the donor's choice.
