Drew was employed by Sherill Structural Repair. Drew not only repaired foundations but built and repaired relationships. He was a ball of energy that brightened a room whenever he walked into it. He always made everyone laugh and never met a stranger. Drew was a fighter and had an inner strength that made him the man he was. He was always putting other people’s needs before his own, and he just wanted to fix everything! Anyone who knew Drew can attest to the man he was, the world was a better place with Drew in it and he will be missed dearly. But the memories, the joy, and laughs he leaves us with will last us a lifetime. His bright smile will always be remembered.
