He was preceded in death by his grandpa Eugene Abernathy and grandma Gail Barnes.
A 2024 graduate of Civic Memorial High School, Drew worked at Castelli’s Moonlight Restaurant and was a member of Connect Church in South Roxana. He was a “one-of-a-kind” guy who was always smiling, dancing and/or singing and could instantly change the mood in any room. He was very athletic and played football, track and baseball for CM. Drew especially loved his family and hanging out with his friends. Anyone who knew him would be familiar with his huge collection of beloved hats.
