Obituary
We are heartbroken to announce the sudden passing of Drew deVries, of Calgary, Alberta, on June 11th, 2022. Left to mourn are his parents Rick and Debbie; his siblings Lindsay Lillyman (Casey) Lara Selk (Cory); and their families. Drew also leaves behind his grandparents Dini deVries and Joyce Inverarity; as well as aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends too numerous to mention. Drew was predeceased by his Opa, Drew deVries.
Growing up, Drew was constantly making his family and friends laugh. He was also always trying new things; anything and everything. From hockey to golfing, skateboarding to boxing, snowboarding to unicycling, he did it all. Drew had many accomplishments in his short life. After graduation from FCHS in Okotoks he took a gap year that allowed him to backpack through Europe with his two friends, fulfilling a dream of his. Drew later went back to his family’s roots and lived in the Netherlands for a few months, where he stayed with family and worked in the café industry that he so loved. He always enjoyed working with the public, and conversing with fellow colleagues and intellects. As an avid reader, Drew was often expanding his knowledge in current events and topics that interested him. Drew completed a diploma in Architectural Technology at SAIT and most recently, he received his Bachelor of Arts in Urban Studies from the University of Calgary.
Drew was not just large in stature; he had the personality to match. His witty sense of humour left a lasting impression on anyone who met him. However, recent struggles with his mental health left Drew in a dark place. He battled his depression courageously but could no longer fight. He will be missed more than words can say.
A private family service will be held at a later date. To view and share photos, memories and condolences please visit www.snodgrassfuneralhomes.com
Donations can be made in Drew’s memory to the Centre of ADHD Awareness Canada (CADDAC).
