Hi Dave

Thanks for posting the picture up of Drew. It is a cracking one.

It saddened me greatly to hear of Drew's passing, though we never met face to face, we have chatted a lot over this site and other means, his exuberance and thirst for knowledge always shone through, as did his need to fill that bell tent!

Rest in peace chap.

David.

I never met Drew but he did have a zest for life and liked to have a good laugh and get out and do some real bushcraft.
My condolences go to his family and many friends.

Never met Drew, But what a sad loss ! Just watched the you tube tribute that MadDave posted. A fine tribute ! I watched it with a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.

I can't quite believe I've come back to this sudden and tragic news. My fingers are kinda numb trying to type this. Just goes to show how he crept into all our lives in some way. I'm gonna miss our verbal sparring, I used to take the pi$$ out of him something rotten and he gave it back in spades and took it all with good grace. A genuinely lovely person and I'm really going to miss him. And that dumb hat.

Oh and Drew. You really were ausome.

I've just seen the thread about his funeral and although I'd never met the bloke, I feel sick to my stomach and more than a bit stunned.... Like many others, I enjoyed his posts and banter and the world's a slightly duller place with him gone.

Thoughts are with his friends and family.

I've only just seen this thread and feel really saddened, I never knew Drew but often chuckled at some of his posts. It is heart warming to see the responses from members of this forum.

RIP Drew you will be missed by many.

Just saw this, my thoughts are with his family and those whose life he touched.

I've been asked by Ike at Brockwell Woods to pass on his and Steph's condolences.

Also Penny and Nick of DD Hammocks who were saddened to hear of his passing. They remember Drew well from previous dealings over the years.

I was talking to Lofty Wiseman at the Bushcraft Show and when I mentioned BCUK he asked if I knew Drew.

Now that would have made Drew chuffed.

 

[Muddy Boots]

I met him at the first bushcraft meet at North Wood.

It's a real sad loss to die at such an early age.

Condolences to the family.

Rest in peace fella.

So sad to hear this news, I only had the chance to meet Drew the once at Bushmoot 2012. And He spoke about how important the Bushmoot was to him, and how many if not all of his friends were to be found there. He clearly felt more the person he wanted to be out in the woods with people with a similar mentality.

Without pretending that I knew him any better, I enjoyed the time I spent with him and am deeply saddened at the untimely passing of someone so young who played such a large part in this community.

Return to dust little brother.

Only just seen this after a while away from the forum - shared a couple of beers with him at the Moot a few years back, what a tragic loss of a lovely chap. I trust today's funeral did him justice.

 

[Black Sheep]

I've not been on BCUK for a while and only just heard the sad new of Drew's passing. I've sat here read through all the posts with a lump in my throat.

I met Drew at a few meets over the years and as everyone's said he was a TOP fella, a little OTT at time but we wouldn't have Him any other way.
I'll raise a Tankard of ale to Drew, He'll be sadly missed :sadwavey:


Rest in Peace.

Rich

I've only just seen this, my deepest sympathies.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
