With the heaviest of hearts, we share that sweet Drew passed away peacefully at home last night, surrounded by the people who loved him most. He left this world knowing, without question, how deeply cherished he was. Family and close friends gathered around him, holding him close and loving on him, and his pup Snoopy was there to give him gentle kisses one last time. The space Drew leaves behind feels impossibly big, and our hearts are forever broken.
Drew was so much more than a brain cancer warrior. He was an 11 year old full of curiosity, joy, and life. When he wasn’t out catching Pokémon around town, you could find him at ninja classes, horseback riding, playing the cello, participating in his scout troop, or shooting hoops on the basketball court. Above all else, Drew’s favorite person in the world was his little brother, Tyler. Their bond was pure, fierce, and full of love.
Diagnosed in 2019 with anaplastic ependymoma, he faced surgery and radiation with bravery beyond his years and became the youngest patient at St. Louis Children’s Hospital to complete radiation without sedation. When cancer returned in 2021, Drew fought again. When it came back once more in 2023 and was deemed inoperable, he still refused to quit. He traveled across the country for clinical trials, all while continuing to live fully and unapologetically as himself.
Through every setback, Drew remained positive. He often called his cancer a “fun fact” and believed with unwavering confidence that he would beat it, because he had already done it twice before. Drew’s fight may be over, but his love, laughter, and warrior spirit will live on forever in the hearts of his family, his community, and all who were lucky enough to know him.
@Mocake6 It’s easy for vets to suggest euthanasia but hard for you when your pet doesn’t seem to be in pain. I refused with my cat. She had 3 more months with us. You will know when it’s time🙏❤️

Annie has another intermittent seizure which woke me at 1:15am this morning. 🥺😢💔
Just upsetting for me to watch but she’s okay this am, eating and sleeping quietly. Been almost 2 months since last one.
If you could please say some prayers or good thoughts for Annie (& Mom too) it would be so appreciated. ♥️♥️🐾

See this baby, BUD was his name,he loved life & everything single day of it!
They KILLED him yesterday at #CorpusChristiACS not because he was sick or mean,just because they wanted to.
I shared him constantly,but I still feel I failed him.
ALL BUD Wanted was to live & b loved
@DerrickEvans4WV Wow! That horse did a great job of not stepping on or hurting the protester. He should be happy they didn’t arrest him. Obviously, he did something to provoke the police. Idiot!
WATCH: Video captures the moment an LAPD officer on horseback runs into a No Kings protester.
The incident shows the protester being knocked to the ground during the encounter.
@ick_real Just wondering if you, at a younger age like in your 20’s, ever thought about “what if I die in a car crash” on a daily basis? Everyone does but why would anyone dwell on it?
🚨 Last call for way too cute Cheddar Bay Biscuit, now under kill command. Came in a stray early March. Listed b/c doesn't like being collared at ACC/pancakes & barks at passing strangers. Smart, knows cues, playful, healthy. He has had a gate greeting w/ helper dog & was waggy. Loves toys.
BACON IS NOW DANGEROUS
Bacon has officially been listed as a Group 1 cancer-causing carcinogen by the WHO.
WTF .. who cares what they think.. it must be good for you..
@DavidJHarrisJr She needs to do the work like all of the rest of us who have lost their birth certificate. Contact the county you were born in & request a certified copy. Surely she’s not that stupid!!!
@Vidiyocontexts If I don’t have my donkey’s hooves trimmed regularly, it hurts him to walk & he lays down a lot. It’s hard to find a good farrier willing to work on donkeys. I finally found a good one❤️
