Drew Alexander Worden

Deepest condolences to the Warden Family. So many beautiful childhood memories. May you all find some peace during this very difficult time. Sending love and prayers for each of you.

I could not imagine a better person to have created a life and family with our Jennifer. I had lots of good memories with you especially as you always let me win on the golf course. You will be missed. Rest peacefully Paul

My sincere and deepest sympathies to you Jenn, Libby, and Ali. But given what a close knit family you have always been, I know that Drew will always be in your fondest and cherished memories.
Sincerely,
Ian Thorne

Jenn, Libby, Ali & Family,

Sending you our love. Our hearts are saddened by your loss.
We are honored to have met Drew, he was a very kind man.
We hold you close in our thoughts, and are here for you.

Karyn, John, Julia & Owen

Heartbroken for you Jenn and your beautiful girls and also your extended families. When you guys moved in next door to us and we met Drew outside installing his TV satellite, we instantly fell in love with him. And then we met you and the deal was sealed. He liked TV, booze, food and was funny as fuck! It was like we’d won the neighbour lottery. We still talk and laugh about him dumping a bucket of water on Sean’s head when Sean and Michael wouldn’t stop squinting your guests with their tiny water pistols at Libby’s 1st birthday. And god bless him for asking our permission to do it. He was truly a one in a million. Our whole family is so saddened by his passing and I know we didn’t see you guys much since you “upgraded” to Preston lake and then Aurora but we knew he was there. Being a Hindu (I’ll explain religion to you one day over a bottle of Kim Crawford) we are told that beautiful great humans like Drew are gods and given to us for as long as god decides. And then he can ask for them as he has a bigger plan for them. I still can’t wrap my brain around it but maybe you and I and the LCBO can try. He was a truly a beautiful great one and he will be missed by the Ryans a lot! Rest In Peace friend.

Our deepest sympathies go out to you. Drew was a wonderful neighbour and friend, always willing to lend a helping hand. He went through life with a friendly wave and a big smile on his face.

Drew was one of my favourites! I will miss him dearly! Drew, you were happy, funny, smart, kind, honest and very willing to do whatever it takes to live as long as you could. In the past 6 years I have enjoyed every moment spent talking and laughing about health, life, work, family, pain, fears and everything in between. Thank you Drew for being apart of my world, I am so much better off because of knowing you. Rest well my friend, rest well! xoxo

We are sending our deepest sympathies and sharing our heartfelt prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.

Words will not wipe away your tears and hugs may not ease the pain. But please hold on to the memories, because they will always remain. Treasure the wonderful memories you have and try to find some comfort in those.

Sending hugs to you three beautiful ladies.

I’m so sorry to hear of Drew’s death – he was way too young, and had so much more to contribute to this world. From his obituary, it’s so clear how much he was loved and how much love he had for his family and friends. I missed the Worden’s when they moved away from Preston Lake, but he’ll always be remembered – for his big smile, for his help when anything was needed, and for his service to the community. Condolences to Jenn, Libby, Ali and the rest of Drew’s family and friends.

Dear Jenn

My deepest condolences to you, yours girls and the whole family, I pray God to receive Drew, a lot of strength for you in this moment which must be so painful. I wish you strength during this very painful time.
Eraldo

Dear Drew

You will be greatly missed. You will always be in our hearts and with us in spirit. May God comfort your wife, daughters, mother and family. You were a fighter, may you rest in peace.

So sorry to hear about Drew. He was a classmate at Churchill Heights and we were in the same cabin at Art Camp together one year. While our paths diverged in High School, we reconnected in a small way via Facebook in recent years. My memories of Drew are that of a genuinely kind-hearted and positive human being. My deepest condolences.

I am saddened by this news and send condolences to Drew’s family and loved ones everywhere. Drew and I went to high school together and as I type that I get a huge smile. Drew was such a happy and fun guy to hang out with. He was also so kind and generous. I do remember many laughs and shared joyful moments. He has left an amazing legacy. Proud of you Drew!

Drew and Grandpa and his future !

Dear Drew
Sorry you suffered so much the last few years with that terrible illness. You fought well with great dignity and I am relieved now that you are not in pain. Many thanks for all the tech help in the past and especially the help for the hardwood at the cottage. You always made work seem like fun ! Your extended family will certainly be around to support Jenn and the girls in this difficult time. Your sunny disposition will be missed at all the family gatherings.
Uncle Bob

We are heartbroken at the loss of Drew.
Sending love to the whole family.
Lisa and Chris Young

Jenn, my heart is broken for you. My deepest condolences to you and the girls.

Heaven definitely just got a new Angel. I still remember our days at Marriott and the smile you had on your face every time you spoke about Drew. When I read about the beautiful life he led, I know now why the big smile. He was a special husband, father, son, and friend who touched so many lives.

May God give you strength,

Love, DeniB

Our deepest condolences on the loss of Drew. Our thoughts are with you.

Matt and Tara.

It was only what seems a few months ago that several of us from Guildwood and Simcoe reminisced about our young childhood and celebrated Drew and Jenn way back when … the smiles they exchanged in the late 70’s- spoke of their connection … to Jenn, Libby and Ali my heart goes out to you… and I smile as I remember Drew… all my love and energy.

Dear Jen, Libby and Ali

We are truly sorry to hear the loss of Drew. Please accept our condolences and may our prayers help comfort you. Please hang in there.

Love,
Krish, Radhika, Anish and Alisha

I am so sorry for your loss. Drew was an incredible person – so kind and always dedicated to his family which was his world. My thoughts are with you, Jenn, Libby, and Ali.

Kind, caring, giving and genuine are the first words that come to mind when thinking about Drew. We always admired the love and laughter he shared with Libby and Ali. Drew was a wonderful neighbor and friend. Drew will be truly missed by all those who’s hearts he touched. Jenn Libby and Ali may you cherish all of the wonderful memories. With deepest sympathy. Jenn and Ali

Jenn, Ali, Libby and Family. My sincere condolences to you all.

Love Judy

Dear Ali and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your father’s passing. Although I never had the opportunity to meet your dad, I could tell how wonderful he was by the way your face lit up when speaking about him. And now, reading about his life, I could see how loved he is by so many. Take comfort in your memories, it sounds like you have had so many good times together. Please reach out if there is anything I can do. Sincerely, Madame W.

Only a man of such excellent caliber and character could be surrounded by so much love and leave such a remarkable family as part of his legacy!!
My deepest thoughts and prayers to you.

Love you millions

We are sending lots of love to you and all your family at this very sad time
We were neighbours on South Marine for such a long time. I remember you driving by with your top down and three little guys in the back with their Scout
Hats on. So adorable Many many more wonderful memories.
We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers at this time

Thank you, Jenn, for taking care of our friend…being by his side, so selflessly, every moment of this difficult journey. You are a beautiful loving mother, partner, and friend.
We are grateful for all the wonderful moments we shared with Drew – the laughter, the talks, the advice, the adventures. Drew may not be here, but he will never be gone…he will always shape our world.
Love you all, Angie

Dear Jennifer
you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I had know you for such a brief amount of time, however the love you both have for each other and your kids always struck me as so pure and unconditional. He was a kind person who talked about you and your family all the time. Had an amazing sense of humour even with all that he was going through. Big hugs to you and your family. He was indeed a wealthy man :-). I am truly so very sorry for your loss. Please reach out if you need anything

I am so very sorry for your loss.

My heart goes out to you and your girls, Jenn.

Sending you all my love and warmth,

Christine

Donna,

On behalf of Linda, Anna and myself, our deepest condolences to you and your family.

Sincerely,

Adam, Linda & Anna McBrain

We want to send our deepest condolences to the entire family – Drew was a pillar of strength and will forever be remembered,
Ken & Rachel Shipley

Every good word I have read here about Drew is true for me also. I experienced firsthand his quick smile, his generous and patient help, his kind nature, his funny side. Here is what I wrote to him on Father’s Day: “I want to tell you that I know from personal experience that it takes an exceptional man to be a father to girls. You are that. Libby and Ali are growing up strong and smart, with courage, and the support to tackle whatever they want to do.”

What a lucky grandmother I am to know that I never need to worry about my granddaughters because they have the best parents they could possibly have. Jenn here and Drew now in their hearts.

What a lucky mother-in-law I have been to have a son-in-law who has been so easy to love. Drew will always keep that place in my heart that he began to build for himself starting the day we met. There are no words to say how much he will be missed.

The world is a better place for Drew having been in it.

Jenn, I am in awe of your grace, compassion and steadfastness. My heart is with you, Ali and Libby – always.

Love you all 4, xoxo m

Donna

My son Ian was born in 1971 and my daughter Leslie in 1973 and they both attended Woburn when Drew was there. The Allegri’s are neighbours of mine and I know Carlo well. I just can’t imagine what it would be like to lose one of my kids.

My heartfelt condolences to you and you family.

Gary

Dear Jenn (and the entire Worden family),
You are all in my thoughts and prayers right now. I have been trying to wrap my head around this news for the last day and I can’t imagine the profound sense of loss you must be experiencing. Jenn, I wish I could hug you tight and I hope you are feeling all of the love that is being channelled your way. This tribute so beautifully captures the kind, generous, funny, warm guy Drew was. Thank you for reminding us all what a rich and wonderful life he led. He truly was gifted in so many ways, and just thinking about him and my brief time with him brings a big smile to my face. I hope one day soon, the pain of his loss will be replaced with smiles at his memory for you as well. I hope we get to celebrate all that he was and did in person soon. In the meantime, know that you are loved and in my thoughts and heart. xo

Drew has been my wingman for a long time and I mean this literally. Early on in our friendship when we were eating chicken wings we discovered he liked the flats and I liked the drumsticks. It was then that I realized this had the potential to be a meaningful friendship.
As it turns out, that day I was eating wings with a guy that would become my best friend for the next 15 years.
Drew had some amazing traits, he was generous, kind and possessed a positive attitude that was virtually unbreakable.
That being said, I think I will remember most how lucky Drew was. I mean this guy won sports pools, golf contests and seemed to think casinos were a place where you walk in and they just give you a bunch of money. I was in a constant state of amazement and envy.
Although he did recognize this unusual good fortune there is no doubt he felt most lucky to have Jenn, Ali and Libby in his life. He would often tell me about their latest adventures, of which there were many, with such joy and pride. Nothing meant more to him than family.
I have no doubt the values and love both Drew and Jenn have given the girls will guide them throughout their lives.
Buddy, you did a great job.

Dear Jennifer, Libby and Ali,

We are terribly sorry of the passing. Drew is truly a kind, caring neighbor and friend who knows how to throw a party and gives everybody a wonderful time. Its obvious Drew and you raised a beautiful family with the best kids in the hood and I am sure that’s his proudest accomplishment. The business empire he built is also amazing. His vision, dedication, professionalism and spirit radiates in every staff member at Worden Display. Thank you Drew and the team for the wonderful work you’ve done for my business and will for years to come. Your legacy as a husband, parent and entrepreneur will live on. Please accept the Lee family’s deepest condolences.

Love,

Keith, Deonic, Victoria and Spencer

Growing up, I had the honour of calling Drew my best friend. We went to Elizabeth Simcoe together with Jenn and our houses were separated by only a few backyards. The Worden family always welcomed me in their home and there was never a dull moment when the three brothers were together. Drew was a gentle and generous friend and that never changed as we grew up.

Jenny, my love and thoughts are with you. Libby and Ali, your dad was an absolutely awesome man. You all took such good care of him and he loved you so much. Mr. and Mrs. Worden, Spence and Grant, you are an amazing family and I’m sharing in your loss.

Drewster, you were a great friend, brother, son, husband and father. We’ll always have wonderful memories. I’ll never forget you. I miss you buddy.

To Drew’s family, I have only known Drew since 2009 when he and members of the CAFE Personal Advisory Group UC15 welcomed me to their “clan”. I remember feeling safe and supported in great part due to Drew’s warmth and reassuring manner.
He had a disarming smile and an extremely positive outlook in all parts of his life. I looked up to him and his approach to business and balancing family life which, to me, seemed laudable.
I’m so glad to have known him. I am so sorry he died. My sincere condolences.
Heidi

Jenn
So sorry to hear of Drew’s passing, he will be missed! Drew will continue to live on through Libby and Ali….an amazing legacy.
Take care of each other, you are in our thoughts!
Sarah-Jane,Gavin,Courtney and Scott Laws

So, so sorry to hear this. Drew was a truly beautiful and radiant soul (which explains why he and Jennifer made so much sense together). The world is a sadder place today.
Rick, Evelyn and Sean

Dear Donna:

We send our sincerest condolences to you and your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

Jennifer, Libby and Ali, this news is so shocking and saddening. Jennifer, we’re finding it hard to wrap our head around this news. Sending you our love and prayers. You guys were such a wonderful couple and such amazing parents. We will never forget that you and Drew were the first people to welcome us in this neighbourhood. After meeting you, we knew right away that we had amazing neighbours and moving here was the right decision. You and Drew have done such a great job in raising your daughters. We are always full of praise of the good manners and kindness that Ali shows (being in the same grade as our son previously). It is a reflection of the amazing upbringing by you and Drew. Jenn, please accept our heartfelt condolences. May his soul rest in peace and may you all find the strength to bear this irreplaceable loss.

The genuine warmth and love that your family gives to each other and to those people lucky enough to be in your life is what makes you all so special.
Drew made us feel special with his generosity of spirit and kindness. It is easy to describe how he made you feel because he gave everyone his affectionate, warm nature. His tenderness and compassion for for his girls and his wife makes everyone want to be a better parent and more like him.
I think that is why we are all having trouble coping with his leaving us because he touched everyone he met with his humanity, his ready smile and awesome chuckle….. we will miss you.
I wish we could give you real hugs…. hope you can feel all the love coming your way Jen, Libby and Ali and the rest of the family too.
Jane, Lloyd, Lliam, Callum and Tessa

Our deepest condolences.
Drew was always full of positive energy and a joy to be around. One of those rare people who always made you feel good by just interacting with him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jenn, Libby, Ali & Family.

We are so saddened to hear this news. We are thinking of Jen, Libby and Ali and the extended family during this difficult time. Sending you love and virtual hugs,
The da Silva family

As a classmate of Drew’s from Woburn CI, I am saddened to hear of his passing.

Drew was a fellow who seemed to always have a smile on his face, and certainly caused smiles to appear on others when he was near!

Our deepest condolences Jenn , Libby and Ali. What a wonderful life Drew lived. We have fond and happy memories of our families at WHPS. We wish you all strength and Peace. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Theresa Trevor Maddi and Sawyer

Dear Jenn, Libby and Ali,
We have so many memories of our time at Preston Lake, so many that include all of you. Meeting an entire family of such giving, loving individuals is not only a tribute to you as parents, but something for us to cherish always. Drew, with his unfailing sense of humour, his kindness, and his silent determination to be there for his girls was a source of admiration for all of us. We will always treasure Canada Days, the annual Chille Cookoff, our trip to New York, the Preston Lake Navy Seals weekly missions (To Overserve and Protect), and somehow being present in your home watching a program with Drew where someone ate a 72-ounce hamburger. Most importantly, we so appreciate the time spent with you both and your girls. Drew will always be in our hearts.
Love,
Mars, Jeffrey and Griffen

So sorry to hear. Drew was a fighter, and I know that fight very well. Hugs and kisses to you and the girls.

Dearest Jen,
I was so sadden to hear the passing of Drew. Heaven has gained an incredible person. You, the girls and your entire family are in my heart. Sending you healing prayers and comforting hugs.
Love, MY

I’m so sorry to hear this. I had no idea what he was going through. My thoughts are with you Jennifer (especially considering this socially distant time). Hugs to all your family. I still remember working with Drew in the grade 3 program at West Hill. What a great laugh.

Dearest Jenn, Libby and Ali,

You are such a beautiful family-strong, compassionate, inclusive, generous, considerate, loving, supportive and fiercely loyal. Drew lived those ideals every day and felt the support of his family to the very end. I watched with such admiration knowing he never felt alone. He fought a valiant fight which ended surrounded by his family at his side. His love will live in your hearts forever.

We will miss Drew so much-his smile, laughter, wit, advice, TV show suggestions (always better than rotten tomatoes!), winning Ribfest recipes, fellow Morrissey and BNL lover and concert goer, dad to daughters club member, bonfire builder extraordinaire and my horror movie buddy.

The many lives that your family has touched over the years are all here now to support you beautiful ladies in the future. We love you so much!
Rod, Tania, Amber, Brianna and Chloe

I had Drew as a client for a few years and he’s someone I appreciated for his kindness and openness.
He will be one of the clients with whom I enjoyed working and with whom I could have had a friendship.

I enclose this photo that we took during one of our presentations.

My sincere condolences

David-Jocelyn

So very sad to hear of this. My prayers of peace and love to all the family.

My condolences to the Worden family.

My deepest condolences to the whole family. To soon. God speed Drew. May the peace of God be with the family in this time of grief as you also celebrate the gift he has been.

Dear Jenn, Libby, and Ali,
All of you are in our thoughts as you grieve this loss. Drew will be Deeply missed by so many.
Love,
Vija and Terry

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Drew. I had the pleasure of meeting him through Jennifer and I always found him warm, funny, and delightful. He packed a lifetime of love with his family in a short time. I am grateful for having known him and his girls. May you find some peace in the memories he left you.
Warmest Regards,
George Camalier

Dear Jenn, Libby, Ali and to your extended families,

Sending you our heartfelt sympathies and love as you celebrate Drew’s life and legacy. We are grateful to have had Drew touch our lives and enjoy his friendship, kindness and generosity. He was so proud of Libby and Ali as stood on the sidelines of the soccer pitch and while there was readily willing to share a kind word or a good laugh. We also had the good fortune to work with Drew professionally and his support for our new company was exceptional. A true professional with his customer’s needs top of mind. We wish you all strength and courage during this difficult time. Caroline, Mark, Megan and Rachel Wiley

My deepest condolences Ali, Jenn & Libby.
I hope your fond memories help bring you comfort in this difficult time.
Thinking of you all & sending love.
Nikki

Dear Jenn, Libby, Ali and family
Please accept our sincere condolences. Drew was always one of the guys that we could rely on at WHPS events. He was a great member of the community with his warm, welcoming smile and keen sense of humour. It wasn’t hard to notice his love for his family.
It’s not the number of years in your life, it’s the life in your years. And it sounds as though Drew packed in a lot of life in his years.
Thinking of you
Jane, Tibor, Max, Grace and Claire

Jenn, Libby, Ali and the whole Worden family,

The Banbury Carters are so saddened to lose Drew and send our deepest sympathies. It was a short stint we got to have as neighbours but Drew’s strength as a fighter and his family’s reslilience were both clear. His achievements are truly in rarified air, raising a successful business alongside a stellar family and dedicating himself to both. We wish we knew him better and longer.

Worden gals, we are here for any and all your neighbour needs, thanks for coming to Banbury Ct.

Rest well, Drew.

Hilary, Dave, Angus and Clare

All the amazing and kind words in the world, will not replace the loss of an amazing son, husband and father. Taken away before his time, Drew was able to leave a legacy that most can’t even get close to in a hundred years – brilliant, beautiful, clever, strong and purely amazing daughters. Fantastic joy to work with for a coach, they win you over by dedication and determination, always sharp, never disrespectful, example and support for everyone around them.

Stay together and be strong. Just remember, that if things get hard, you’re never alone. You’ll always have friends and community to lean on.

My deepest condolences,
Coach Max

Was deeply saddened to hear of Drew’s passing. We had so many good times together at Churchill, Wobourn and into the university years. Drew was always open and kind, quick with a smile and a joke. He was such a good natured friend. Drew, a wonderfully kind soul, you will be missed!

I am so gutted to hear this news. Ive been staring at this screen for a week not knowing what to write or say. It all seems so useless. Drew was always a Prince among men, funny, smart, loving and always so much fun to be around. I just can’t imagine what Jenn and and his girls Libby and Ali must be feeling with his loss. If its tough for me it must be devastating for you guys that lived with him. Every part of our aching hearts need you more, here than the angels do. I can only hope my Mom was waiting for him and gave him a big hug when got wherever he ended up. All my love and support. RIP Drew.

Our sincerest condolences during this difficult time. There is really nothing we can say or do to make things better but know that we are here for you and the girls!

Drew – The pain and suffering is over my friend! You may have left us but will never be forgotten.
We are so glad we got to spend so much time with you, Jen, Libbi and Ali – so many great memories and plenty of laughter.
From the soccer field to the golf course..to the ski hill and our amazing Cruise together, we will cherish those memories forever.
…and I promise to play a game of Craps just for you!

Rest in peace pal!

Jenn, Libby, Ali & family,
Our most heartfelt condolences. We are so sorry to hear of Drew’s passing. Drew was one of the first neighbours we met at Preston Lake in 2005 and are forever blessed and grateful for his friendship. With every interaction we were guaranteed a beautiful, authentic smile and a dose of his contagious laughter. Drew was as genuine as they come. His warmth, kindness, humour, generosity and his passion for life, family and community enriched everyone who knew him.
And all the wonderful memories! A host of so many awesome parties; his ingenuity to modify his trailer to give the neighbourhood kids a wagon ride on Halloween; and who can forget the phony real estate sign he put on the Boudreau’s lawn on April Fool’s. We will forever cherish the fond memories and example by which Drew lived. May the love of your family and friends – and knowing that Drew is with you in your hearts always – comfort you and give you strength.
Love of love – Nancy, Paul, Matt, Alessia and Markus

Jenn, I never had the pleasure of meeting Drew, but I am in awe of the man, husband, father, friend and son he was to so many people. Reading the notes above bring both tears and smiles, what amazing memories. I am thinking of you and your girls and miss you.

I am so sorry to hear about Drew. Thinking of you Jenn, Libby and Ali xo

We are so saddened by Drew’s passing. He was always such a positive person and Chuck enjoyed working with him. Especially his personal delivery service to our house! We always felt the kindness of his gentle soul. He will be missed terribly.

So sorry to hear of Drew’s passing, truly one of the world’s brightest lights. Shine on Drew.

Jenn, Libby and Ali, you are in our thoughts. Tracy, Ben, Layla, Sophia and Elliott.

Dear Jen, Libby, and Ali,

Our deepest and most heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. We were very saddened to find out about Drew’s passing only a few days ago. So sorry for your loss he was such a good guy…

Drew always had such a pleasant and delightful presence at WHPS events – the Turkey luncheon , etc.
We sure miss him, and you ladies, at Mansfield. Seeing your ski lift chair is always heartwarming . We will always remember a big smile in Drew’s face when he was enjoying the winter weekends with his special ladies at the”Field”. He was a great husband and a father.
Rest In Peace, Drew.

Our deepest condolences Jenn, Libby and Ali. What a beautiful smile and wonderful story of the life he lived, and the many people he touched along the way. Please know that we’re thinking of you all with fond memories. Rest in peace Drew.
Cathlin, Karsten, Anelie and Bauer

It was an honour to care for Drew at Margaret Bahen Hospice. On behalf of the entire MB Hospice family, please accept our deepest sympathies.

We haven’t known what to say – because there are no words. You have our love and support. We will always remember Drew for his incredible spirit, kindness and wonderful sense of humour (especially around apres and at the Chili Shack!!). Drew’s laugh made us all smile and his love for his family was always a top priority. Please take some comfort and find strength in the wonderful memories and the strong love of friends and family at this time.

Jenn,

Please accept our deepest condolences. We just found out about Drew’s passing. May God rest his soul and may God watch over you, Libby and Ali. You, the girls and Drew are in our prayers.

My Dear Worden Boys,

I am so bummed that you guys lost your fearless leader.

Drew, you were such a strong, honest and loyal person. I always look forward to visits at the shop because I was always met with your warm smile and contagious laugh. I feel lucky to have known you because of all the positive influences you have had across the industry. I miss you already Drew. My condolences to your beautiful family. You always had a sparkle in your eye when you spoke of your girls (which was often).

Spencer and Grant, Because of your kick ass brother I still get to hang out with you. You guys are pretty awesome guys and a reflection of all the best parts of your brother. I am keeping you guys in my heart.

Love and Hugs – Katie

Dear Jenn and family, I have never read such a wonderful life tribute! I was one of Drew’s nurses when he was an inpatient. I saw such a kind fun hearted person despite his diagnosis; he laughed A LOT, through pain and always was so appreciative to the nursing staff. You are both such lovely people and I will never forget your family. I understand now how it was so easy to feel if we would have met in difference circumstances we would have been friends. What a wonderful legacy Drew leaves behind. I think we would agree the best of life is about the relationships we have. Well done Drew! Sending you a big hug Jenn! Please accept my condolences.

Dear Jenn and the entire Worden family. The Mythics Emergent Group of companies in Virginia sends our deepest condolences. Drew was such a great man and partner to work with supporting us at all our events. He was kind, creative, supportive and so great to spend time with on the road (often in San Francisco). God bless to you all, we were so thankful to have known him.

I am so shocked to hear that Drew is no longer with us physically. I had the pleasure of working with the Worden’s in the ’90’s, as Drew was honing his skills in the family business. He was always a level-headed and truly a joyful human being. My deepest sympathy goes to the entire Worden clan and especially to Jenn, Spencer and Grant, who I witnessed in their earlier years of their careers.

I worked with Drew providing IT Services to Worden-Watson and found Drew to be such a kind, patient, and thoughtful person. I considered Drew a friend. I attached an old picture I had of us playing Paintball in 1998. Life got in the way and we lost touch over the years but I always smile when I think of him. Reading the news this morning is heartbreaking, and I wish the family lots of Love.
