Drew began his journey in the construction industry alongside his family, laying the foundation for a life dedicated to hard work and service. On April 18, 2003, Drew joined Pinnacle Sales Company dba Jiffy Lube as a technician. His dedication and skill quickly propelled him into positions of increased responsibility, including assistant manager at several locations and ultimately store manager. Drew then took on the role of District Manager for a time, but his true passion lay in mechanics, leading him to become the lead mechanic and forge lasting connections with his customers.

In May 2024, Drew was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. With remarkable courage, he committed to fighting this challenging battle with unwavering determination. He underwent various treatments and surgeries, all while continuing to work alongside his friends and customers. Drew often expressed gratitude for the comfort he received throughout his ordeal, stating that he had prayed for relief and felt that prayer was answered daily. Remarkably, even in his final days, he persisted in his resilience and positivity.

Known for his love of animals, Drew had a special affection for both dogs and cats, often sharing his life with a beloved feline companion.

He is preceded in death by his father, Donald Walter; his mother, Tammy Noveck; and his grandparents, Duke and Guylene Walters, as well as Francis Girton.
