I was in shock when I learned of Andrew’s passing. I am grateful to have known him through my friend Chilli.

Although we did not meet often, through the photos and moments of their daily life, I could see that he was a husband who loved Chilli deeply and a father who truly loved and cared for his family and children. I am also thankful for the songs he created and shared with me.

Rest in peace, Andrew.

Keeping your family in my prayers. May God’s love and peace be with your family.

First met Drew nearly thirty years ago, back in our university days when we were both in our twenties. Those early years were full of silly laughter and the kind of lighthearted jokes that only young friends share. Even then, Drew was already incredibly smart, and he was always so charming with his guitar, singing the songs he composed himself. He was gentle, well liked, and naturally drew people in.

As life brought us back to Hong Kong, our friendship grew even deeper. With Chilli, also my dear friend since university, our families became closely connected. I still remember so clearly when Paxton was a newborn and I was completely overwhelmed. I turned to Chilli and Drew, and they responded without hesitation. They came over, talked me through everything and even helped set up an IP camera at home to calm my anxious new‑mum mind. Their warmth is something I will always be grateful for.

We shared many wonderful memories as our families bonded and travelled together. On ski trips, Drew always helped keep an eye on Paxton on the slopes. At meals, he would pass extra food to me, half amused, half encouraging, joking about how much I could eat. During karaoke, I will always remember him singing his favourite Ah Lam 林子祥 and Leon Lai songs with so much enjoyment. And we had so much fun doing Just Dance together; it was genuinely funny seeing how surprisingly well Drew could dance. Also when he played the guitar and we sang along, it felt like going right back to our carefree university days.

I will also always remember Drew’s unique sense of humour. One memory that still makes me smile is how he rated restaurants not by their food, but by how strong the Wi‑Fi was. That was so typically him—practical, amusing, and quietly clever in his own way.

Although Drew is now in the good hands of God, the bonds we built over so many years through youth, adulthood, and family will continue on.

Don’t worry—we will take good care of Chilli, even though she has already been incredibly strong throughout (your superwoman, beloved wife).

Until then, Drew, we will meet again, my dear friend. Rest in peace. 

Had the privilege of knowing Andrew through my very good friend Venchilli almost 15 years ago. Not only was he a loving husband to Chilli and a great dad to my godson Joses and his little brother Jasper, but he also became a good friend and my brother in Christ. Drew and Chilli walked alongside me through many stages of my life — always supportive, always present, and always looking out for me.

Smart yet incredibly humble and grounded, Andrew was always friendly, generous, resourceful, and ready to share a laugh. He cared deeply for his family and friends, carrying a warm, gentle, and genuine soul.

His music touched many hearts, and I am so glad my daughter Emma had the chance to spend quality time with him on multiple occasions, becoming a little fan of his, just like the rest of us. ♥️

I am forever grateful for the gift of Andrew’s presence in our lives. His kindness, drive, and go-getter spirit will continue to inspire. Will definitely miss our chats about anything and everything whenever we all get to gather — from life, career, F1, the kids, tech, to faith. He is dearly loved and dearly missed, and I look forward to the day we meet again in eternity.

Rest well, my friend — you have ran a good race — so so proud of you.
