Stephen Drew Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Mr. Drew was born in New York, NY on November 8,1949 to the late Richard John and Stephanie Beresko Drew.
Steve was a veteran of the United States Air Force. After his service to our country he began a career in law enforcement and retired from the Onslow County Sheriffs Department. He was a man of many talents and interest. He elevated the experience in any situation with a fact or a story. His love of bowling and golf brought him some of his closest friends and held amazing moments he cherished deeply. His dedication to his community as a law enforcement officer will have a lasting impact and touched countless lives. Most of all, he was a loving husband and father (including grand and great). We carry him in our hearts, and especially in our laughter. A true legend. Our Hero.
He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Sandra Hinton Drew of the home; children, Brook Nichols (Kurt) of SC, Stephanie Drew of ME, Kristen Davids (Jason) of WI, Richard John Drew (Brittany) of NC, and Savannah Drew of FL; and six grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
The family will receive friends Thursday evening from 6:00 until 8:00 PM at Jones Funeral Home, Swansboro Chapel.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Samaritan's Purse at 801 Bamboo Rd. Boone, NC 28607.
