A beautiful heart stopped and it broke our hearts, Drew went to be with his Lord and Savior on March 8th. Born December 10, 1948 in Rhode Island, Drew moved to Florida for college and stayed for 40 years. He worked for the Tampa Tribune, was a tugboat captain and retired from the City of Clearwater Water Department and moved to Hartwell, Georgia. Proceeded in death by his first wife, Donna-Marie Austin Laird, and his parents, Andrew and Helen Laird. Survived by his wife, Jeri and his three sons: Tyson (Christy), Joshua, Nicholas (Christina) and four grandchildren, Cami, Sebastian, Cayli and Zoey and his mother’s sister, Ruth Robertson. Drew loved and played ice hockey, spending time on his trawler, OluKai, and mountain biking. He was a friend to all he met and always willing to lend a hand. He will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him.
