Drew was always an enthusiastically kind friend, and made everything more enjoyable just by being there. My sadness is for all those who will never know such a kind boy, but hope those who had the pleasure, feel eternally grateful.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Drew, but I felt like I knew him,from hearing so much about him from my mother. She was one of his clients at Coastal Home services. He made her life at home a little easier. It would always brighten her day when she had a chance to talk to him on the phone. Once he even made a special trip to her home to visit with her around the holidays, He was a very special young man and he will be greatly missed in this community.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Drew, however I did hear a lot about him from my daughter. He was a good friend to her and she talked about him often. I get a lot of the people my daughter tells me about mixed up, not so with Drew. He has effected her in so many ways and made her life better. Even tough I never meet him I know he was a very special person. I am so sorry for your loss.
