I loved working with Andrew & was said to see him move to another dept many years ago. But I always remembered what an awesome lead he was. He taught me so much & made me feel welcome right away. I am so sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed.

Nikki and family - we were shocked and saddened to hear that Drew passed away unexpectedly. I worked with Drew the past few years at Wells Fargo and his work ethic, kindness, dry sense of humor, and easy going manner will be greatly missed by his friends and colleagues. I hope that you find comfort with friends and family in your time of loss and know that we are all better people for having known Drew.

I am shocked to hear the loss of Andrew. He was one of the few people I really enjoyed working with at Wells Fargo. He was a humble and kind person who will be deeply missed by all that knew him. I am sending prayer to the family and to all that were close to Andrew.

I just learned of Andrew's passing and instantly felt grief. He was such a kind person. Andrew and I worked together for several years. I will never forget him. He always provided me so much moral support in our job. So much so that he was my biggest cheerleader when I had been interviewing for a promotion. I will never forget him emailing me asking me if I was offered the job and I just looked over to him and winked and he said "REALLY?! CONGRATULATIONS!" We always enjoyed each other's company and shared many laughs at the job. He was a very fine man and he will be missed tremendously. I can't imagine the loss his family is feeling as I feel so much myself and I do wish and pray they find peace during this exceptionally difficult time. Andrew will be remembered fondly by so many. He brought so much joy to everyone around him.
