Drew Graham

Andrew "Drew" Hauser Graham, Jr., of Columbia, Missouri, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, November 15, 2023 at the age of 56. Born May 9, 1967 in St. Louis County, Missouri, Drew was the son of Andrew Hauser Graham and Joyce Annabelle (nee Suddarth) Graham. Drew is preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Senator Charles (Chuck) Graham. He is survived by his aunts and uncles, many cousins, sister-in-law Kathryn Graham and nephew Skyler Chadwick. Drew was well known and loved by many. He was a fan of classic rock music and enjoyed spending time interacting with friends and family on social media. A car accident outside his hometown of Louisiana, Missouri at the age of 15 left him with a spinal cord injury – but this did not define Drew. He held a supervisory position at Stark Brothers in Louisiana, and was employed by the Missouri Division of Family Services in Kansas City before moving to the Columbia area. He greatly enjoyed his position at The Tap House in Columbia and the time he spent with his coworkers and many friends there. Drew was confirmed and served as an acolyte at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Louisiana in his youth. He graduated from Louisiana High School. He attended and graduated from Gem City College in Quincy, Illinois in study of jewelry design, clock and watch making and watch repair. He received degrees in History and Theology at Hannibal LaGrange College in Hannibal, Missouri. Visitation will be held on Thursday, November 30, 2023, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and a Memorial Service with Reverend Tim Suddarth officiating, immediately following at 1:00 p.m. at Collier Funeral Homes, 117 Barnard Drive, Louisiana, Missouri 63353.
