"Drew held a unique ability to make everyone near him feel special. He had an unrelenting and unselfish concern for the safety and well-being of others. A natural caretaker at heart, he couldn't help but put his own priorities aside to make sure everyone else's needs were above his own," said his brother, Jordan. "He was so full of life, positivity, and a wild sense of adventure that it was hard to imagine anything or anyone bringing him down."

He had a huge heart, cared for others, and loved his job. At his funeral service Monday at Navy Pier, Drew's loved ones shared stories about the man they said was thankful for every minute of his life - a life that ended abruptly one week ago at the age of 39.
