Tom, Kathy, Kyle, Jake and family,  there are know words to express the sorrow  of the loss of are beloved next door neighbor Drew. When Drew  first bought his home we were beyond excited that we finally had an awesome next door neighbor. Being next door to each other we knew we always had each others back. Whether it was sharing an egg, bread, wheelbarrow or keeping an eye on each others homes . It was a honor and a blessing for  us to have such a wonderful man next door. Drew even helped are son to get a job at M&T bank. We will miss him deeply , and  the females on the street will miss him mowing the grass without a shirt 😊.May God grant you peace and comfort in the days and years ahead.  May you know you are all in are prayers and thoughts. Love, Nick & Kathleen  Naples and Sons.

To the Family of Drew,

How fortunate M&T was to have such an outstanding leader as Drew!  I recall when he first came to M&T and how he stood out immediately as a capable young man destined for great things!  His manners were impeccable and his kind demeanor made him genuinely likable.  I will remember him fondly.

I had the pleasure of working with Drew during our mutual time at M&T.  A class act and genuinely nice guy.  My condolences to the Pullen family.  RIP 🙏🏼

My condolences to the Pullen family.   I have known Drew's father Tom for over 50 years as well is his brother Kyle.   A magnificent family and I am so sorry about this tragedy.

I worked with Drew for many years and he was a great person!  He had a great sense of humor and treated everyone with respect. He will truly be missed.  My deepest condolences to the Pullen family.

We met Drew through hockey and baseball. He was so much more than just a coach or a friend. He was a true mentor to my son and during very dark times.  His smile and spirit lit up any room and his heart, patience and support he extended my son and our family will be cherished forever. May his family be comforted and loved in the days and years ahead. Rest easy my friend and know that you were a true light in this world, even in the darkest days.

I could write a litney of words but none would begin to cover your great loss. Our kids all played together while going to Lawton. The best group of guys ever. I ended up being one of Tom's patients and was enthralled with the wonderful vacation photos in your office, all depicting the shared family times. Those memories will go on forever. My heart goes out to you all with deepest condolences.

Did not know Drew well, but know his Dad and brother. Both really fine people. This is sad, not right.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.  I worked on a few projects with Drew, but most of our conversations were on the phone as I live in WA state.  At the end of the project, he found out my favorite vinegar store in WA and sent me a gift certificate.  I was very touched.  He will be missed!

Devastating news. 

Over the years I worked with Drew on consulting projects. He was special - I have worked with thousands of bankers but he is the only one I ever invited to my home (he spent a weekend at my home in Rehoboth 10 years ago).

Jake, we have never met but your dad and I talked about you often. Not crap about sports and school, but about how he (and I) could best navigate complex family relationships to ensure our children’s well being. No father has loved his son more. 

I recall the first time I met him. After the meeting we walked down the block for lunch. By the time we reached the restaurant “I knew” and asked him “Where did you wrestle?” I could just tell by the way he walked and carried himself. Turns out it was Michigan.

Kathy, Tom, Kyle - I just wanted to express how sorry I am to hear the news of Drew.  He was like another brother to Regan and myself.  I remember the day we moved into Landsdowne neighborhood, Drew was the first person to welcome us and our family.  Then an unbelievable friendship was built that lasted a lifetime.  Our family was so blessed to have had this special bond with Drew for so many years.  He would bring so much fun and laughter to our family.  As a friend, Drew always had my back, as I did his.  The vacations we spent down in south Florida were so much fun with you all.  I remember Regan and I trying to keep up with the tennis matches against you all.  None of them ended very well for the Rutledge's though.                                                              
As for you, Jake - I have never met you but just know that your dad was loved so very much by everyone he came in contact with.  I'm sure you will be a replica of him so you can carry on his dynamic and passionate personality.  
Much love to your entire family.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  
As for you Drew - rest easy my friend.  Even though I know you won't if there is a gym up there in heaven.

Kathy, Tom, and Kyle - Drew was always a funny and energetic addition to any Colligan/Pullen adventure. I will always treasure him as part of our memories from Algonquin. The image I have of Drew in my head, is from a photo taken at Camp; he's standing next to Kerry and you just know that was the only moment he was still all day. 

He was lovely kid, and I always enjoyed catching up with him in Ann Arbor. I'm so sorry for your loss. My family is keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Kris

Dear Kathy, Tom, Kyle, Regina, Juliana, and Jake, 
  We were blessed to know Drew as a special part of our “neighborhood family”,  a  
student-athlete,  a dedicated  father, and  a caring son. brother, and friend.     Drew will live on in the hearts  and memory of all who knew him. 
  Sending you my prayers for comfort, peace & much love,     Carolyn

As much as Drew's countless friends are crushed by this loss, I can only imagine how much his family is hurting. I know how proud he was of his son, whose future next year in college was something that excited him. If I can do anything for any of you, please let me know. I don't think anyone could find one person to say something bad about Drew. He did a great job of keeping in touch and gathering friends back in The Deuce. I also can't think of another athlete who could have success as a wrestler and tennis player. Sending a virtual hug to all of you and will keep you in my prayers forever.

Dear Kathy, Tom, and Kyle,
Drew had a warm, gracious personality.  He will be missed very much. He was an inspiration as an athlete, a fun person to talk with, and a genuinely caring person. Your family has my deepest condolences, thoughts, and prayers.

We have so many memories of Drew growing up in the Lansdowne neighborhood of Ann Arbor. He and Kyle meeting up with all the other kids. Both very good athletes and always outside playing some game.   

Heidi knowing Drew from Michigan and them working together during the dot-com era on web design. 

He is in our prayers.

Tom, Kathy, and  Kyle,
Our hearts are hurting for you all.  We send prayers to you and your families  to find strength and comfort  during this difficult time.  Please  know we are here if you need anything.  - Claude and Ann Wilcox

Drew was such a great person.  Salt of the earth.   May he rest in peace and his family find healing.  My deepest condolences.

Kathy, Tom and Kyle I am thinking of you and the entire family. Drew was a friend for nearly 40 years. Always kept in touch with one another over the years. Playing baseball many moons ago together or having fun at UM parties with Andy and Reagan he was always authentic and focused, Truly better for knowing and spending time with Drew. He was the best pickup football tackler of all time. Great person and friend and he will always mean the world to so many in the class of 92 at Pioneer and beyond. 

All love .
Brian Kelley

Drew also known as DP by many was like a second father to me. Drew was a mentor, a coach, and someone you could always talk to no matter what you were feeling. You could always count on Drew to be somewhere and everytime I was able to spend time with him, I could say he made me a better person. My prayers and condolences to the entire Pullen family. ❤️
