Joshua Andrew Williams affectionately known as Andrew, Drew, Drewbie & Drewski was a senior at Weston High School where he was a member of the Wolves baseball team (#13); a member of the FCA club and Hodge United Pentecostal Church. You could always find him leading the morning prayer at school. He truly loved his church family and was very active in the youth group.
You could always find Drew with a smile on his face. His smile & personality was so infectious and contagious that a room would light up when he walked in. If he saw someone having a bad day, he would reach out to them and offer words of encouragement and bring out the best in them, even if he was telling one of his corny jokes. Drew was a kind selfless soul who was working for the Lord.
Pallbearers honored to serve are Jaycen Williams, Daniel McElwee, Cole Tolar, Sawyer Watkins, Bryce Zehr & Jacob Gill. Honorary Pallbearers are Damon Fee, Gavin Fee, Gavin Borland, Bradley Constance, Ryland Nation, Christian Edwards and the Weston High School Baseball Team.
