I am saddened to hear about the death of Drew, Drew and I wrestled in the same weight class and often practiced together. Drew was a fierce competitor, and was liked by everyone on the team, Drew will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

I'm in total shock about the passing of Drew. I had such a crush on him. I can't believe he's gone.

He was so sweet to me when others called me names.

God Bless Drew!
