Additionally, Drew joined the Windsor Locks Fire Department in 2001, beginning a 24-year legacy of service. Promoted to Lieutenant in 2023, he also served as an Apparatus Steward and played a vital role in coordinating community events such as the annual carnival, Torch Light Parade, and Trunk-or-Treat. Beyond the firehouse, Drew devoted countless hours to supporting veterans, ensuring they felt seen, appreciated, and cared for.

 

Sadly, Drew passed away while performing his final act of kindness—a community service project building a deck for an ill veteran. A devoted husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend, Drew lived a life of service, generosity, and unwavering dedication to his community.
