Happy 40th Birthday, Drew.
To the man who celebrated the biggest milestones with the same enthusiasm as the smallest victories. The fact that you are so deeply missed is a testament to just how loved you were.
Love is a feeling like no other. To be loved by Drew was to feel seen, valued and truly special. He had a way of making people feel important, whether they had known him for years or had only just met him.
Today, on what would have been your 40th birthday, I want to say thank you. Thank you for the laughter, the adventures, the lessons and the memories. Thank you for the moments that seemed ordinary at the time but have become some of my most treasured memories. Thank you for being bold enough to take a chance on an idea and build a business that neither of us could have imagined would touch so many lives. I will always be grateful for the journey we shared and for everything we created together.
So, on your birthday, I have a simple request. Tell someone you love them. Tell them how much they mean to you. Tell them how grateful you are that they are part of your life. We so often assume people know, but the truth is that those words matter.
Today is a reminder that love, kindness and connection leave a mark that lasts far beyond our time here.
And finally, on your special day, I just want to say how incredibly sad I am that you never got the chance to cause absolute chaos with ChatGPT. You would have absolutely loved it. I can only imagine the questions, the grand plans and the trouble you would have got up to.
Happy 40th Birthday, Drew.
Thank you for the memories, the friendship, and the love you left behind.
Loved then. Loved now. Loved always.
Mike and the team at Owen Drew ❤️
