Drew Frith Burton

Drew Frith Burton was welcomed into heaven on January 23, 2024.
He was a loving husband, father, son, brother, cousin, friend, USC Gamecock's football fan, beach-lover, and fighter. Drew lived a full, vibrant, yet too short life, with his wife, Meredith Gernerd Burton, and daughters Emma Marie and Mary Kate.
Drew was born in Chestnut Hill on August 28, 1979, and was the devoted son of Thomas and Nancy Burton (nee Frith). Upon graduating from Wissahickon High School in 1998, Drew went on to the University of South Carolina where he received his Bachelor's degree in Business. Many of his lifelong friends were classmates.
Drew was the Director of Equity and Fixed Income Operations at Black Rock Financial Services. He was extremely intelligent and hardworking, and his greatest joy in life was his family. Drew was the dear brother of Kimberly Burton Carey (Steve), Rachele Bizzozero Foley (Andrew), Thomas Brad Burton (Heather), and Michael Bizzozero. He was the cherished son-in-law of Mark and Patricia Gernerd, brother-in law to Mark Gernerd, Jr. (Stacey), and adoring uncle to many nieces and nephews. Drew was preceded in death by his sister-in-law and friend, Rachel Gernerd.
Drew loved to golf, spending time with his family in Avalon, NJ, and was a longtime member of Cedarbrook Country Club. He was a proud University of South Carolina graduate and an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan. He also closely studied the weather patterns, and you could always count on 'Doppler Drew' to know the weekly forecast!
Drew will be remembered for always having a smile on his face, his quick wit, and the love he had for Meredith and his girls. He will be deeply missed by all who loved him.
