Andrew was born to Jake and Sam Draper on September 11, 2026. Though his time here was very short, his precious life brought immeasurable love and joy to his family. From the moment he arrived, Andrew was deeply loved and will forever hold a special place in the hearts of all who knew of him.
Andrew is survived by his loving parents, Jake and Sam Draper; grandparents, Saul Gonzalez-Chavez, Manuela Martinez-Rodriguez, and Jason and Kim Draper; uncles, Saul Gonzalez, Manuel Gonzalez, Jr. Martinez, and Cole Draper; aunts, Morgan Draper and Addie Draper; as well as many great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family members who will cherish his memory always.
Though Andrew’s life was far too brief, the love he gave and the memories he created will remain forever. His family finds comfort in knowing that his sweet spirit is at peace and looks forward to the day they will see their precious baby boy again in Heaven.
A graveside service will be held for Andrew on Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 11am at Berry Highland Memorial Cemetery in Babyland Garden. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial donations be made to the UT Medical Center NICU, in honor of Andrew.
“Though you were with us for only a moment, you will be loved for a lifetime.”
