I’ll always remember the first Thanksgiving dinner you shared with us. You were amazed that I had prepared the entire meal by myself. You made sure I knew you appreciated the time and effort that goes with preparing that dinner. You enjoyed it all. Especially the collard greens. ❤

Drew,

You stood tall. Not only because of your physical height; you stood out because you were present. You showed up—for life. For others. For me. That is an all too rare quality, which makes the loss of you feel even more surreal and painful. Yet, somehow finding strength to be grateful; there is no more pain and you are as you’ve always been—free to fly.

Love You, Crystal

Cousin Drew,

You were the epitome of greatness. Thank you for all the amazing advice you provided me with. Your passion to help underprivileged minorities reach their educational goals is something I will continue to carry. You will be missed!

Cuz, we oftentimes "chopped it up" about life and you always respected my viewpoint base on my upbringing. When you came to my Fire Department Banquet you asked me how could I do what I do and my response to you was we all have a calling! Your calling was to help others in your own way which you did! I will always treasure the time we spent, the laughs we had, the debates we had and most of all the trash talking about the Cowboys and the Browns. I watched you grow into an amazing young man! I will forever love you, miss you and cherish you! Your Big Cousin, Jonathan

We will remember the great times that we spent with Drew, his great personality, kindness, competitiveness, sense of humor, and how much he enjoyed the Cowboys football games. He will truly be missed.

The several times we were in the presence of Andrew, he was always kind and respectful. His love for his parents was undeniable. We are sure he made you proud after receiving his terminal degree and using his knowledge to help underprivileged minorities reach their educational goals. Cherish the memories and love of your son whom God gave to you for 39 years.

I will never forget the day you came to give me emotional support when your Uncle Dennis passed. You hang with me, you took me to breakfast, drove me around so I could do what I needed to do. You made that day tolerable. You are special...gone too soon..

June 2020: Andrew insisted on planting this shrub. I was sitting on the steps in awe, talking trash about him doing manual labor while I “supervised.” I documented the task for proof he could actually get his hands dirty.
