Allan's obituary

Allan K. Drew, 85, passed away peacefully surrounded by family. Born in Milford, Massachusetts, on September 11, 1940, Allan lived a full and varied life that reflected his curiosity, compassion, and love for people and nature.

Allan began his career in the restaurant industry before moving into the construction and building business, where his strong work ethic and creativity were well known. Later in life, he pursued a new calling and returned to school to become a licensed orthopedic massage therapist, dedicating himself to helping others through his healing hands and caring spirit.

A lifelong lover of the outdoors, Allan found joy in gardening and was known for his green thumb and beautiful home gardens. His appreciation for nature and his quiet wisdom left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.

Allan’s life journey took him from his Massachusetts roots to Sarasota, Florida, then to Portland, Maine, before returning to Sarasota in his final years always surrounded by family.

He is survived by his four children, Laurey, Doug, Derek, and Pete; eleven grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; and two more great-grandchildren on the way. His family and friends will remember him for his warmth, humor, and unwavering strength.

A memorial service will be held at a later date to celebrate Allan’s life and legacy.
