What a sad day. Drew’s stories were always worth stopping everything to watch. And the moment he rescued a man who was floating away during Harvey is something I think about all the time. He’ll be incredibly missed.

11-year-old Miah Cerrillo told me that to survive the shooting at Robb Elementary, she smeared her friend's blood all over her body and played dead.
