Drew Marian Spencer

Drew was a member of Concordia Lutheran Church in Conover and was employed with Phatt Daddy Landscaping Co. He had a kind heart and free spirit. He would do anything for anyone. He would sacrifice everything he had to help his friends. The Drew Spencer of the shooting was not the real Drew Spencer. He was looking forward to going back to school this fall, getting more involved with family, and working toward a career. There are pieces to the puzzle that do not make sense, leaving a lot of unanswered questions. Please do not judge a book by its cover, unless you have read all of the chapters. Even with the abrupt, tragic end to his life, we have the comfort of knowing he is at peace and at home with his Heavenly Father.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, John Robert Spencer and his maternal grandfather, Henry Lee Reaves.

Survivors include, Dale and Debbie Spencer of Bethlehem; sister, Diana Elizabeth Spencer of Smyrna, GA; paternal grandmother, Betty Yount Spencer of Conover; maternal grandmother, Marjorie Harris Reaves of Conover; foreign exchange student brother, Dominik Mehler of Hannover, Germany; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

A memorial service will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, June 20, 2014 at Concordia Lutheran Church in Conover with Rev A. Mark Schudde officiating.

The family will receive friends following the service at the church.

Memorials may be given to Concordia Christian Day School Scholarship Fund, 215 5th Ave SE, Conover, NC 28613 or Christian Adoption Services, 624 Matthews-Mint Hill Road, Matthews, NC 28105-1775.
