Drew Martin
31 Aug 1986–29 Nov 2005
Tragedy has struck the Martin family yet again as the beloved son of Margret and David Martin passed away last night due to complications in surgery. Drew, only 18 years of age had gone through so much in the past year that would mark the end of his life. He survived a car accident that took away his ability to walk, but still he sojourned on .Drew was participating in a spinal stimulator surgery that could give him the ability to walk again when complications arose and he passed away.
Drew was someone that you couldn't help but love. An avid sports fan in his youth he helped coach soccer with young children even after his accident. Drew wrote poetry and songs and even began work on a novel in his spare time. He was a devoted son and brother to Alli and Alana Martin and will be missed.
We need to remember that even though Drew is gone there are so many ways to keep him alive. He wouldn't want anyone crying over him and we need to remember the final words that he told me before he left the hospital room that day... "Remember me...for I have lived!"
