I was honored to have served with Drew in Dover for the couple of years. He surely made everyone laugh and was the life of the brotherhood. You are in my prayers and Drew will look down on us and continue smiling.

I was fortunate to have known the very kindness of my fellow veteran...I first met Drew at Lowery AFB ... During tech school ... Then to my surprise he was waiting for me at the Philly airport To join me at COMISO AS with that big smile ..... I was scared at 18 and he just made it better ...we both ended our AF career at Dover AFB .... Your smile was always with me ... My forever friend ...RIP

I had the honor and pleasure of serving in the United States Air Force with Drew from 1986 – 1994 from Comiso Sicily to Dover Delaware. He and I worked together at various times in our service. We spent many hours together outside of work from playing sports to laughing and joking to imaging what our futures would be. Though we had not seen each other in many years we would periodically check-in with each other with a phone call.

To the Kaigler family, there are many of us who served with Drew and loved him as a brother! He was a major part of our lives. We are truly sorry for your loss. He will truly be missed but, the memories of Drew will never fade. Rest in Peace brother.

We spent many hours together outside of work from playing sports, hanging out to imaging what our futures would be. Though we had not seen each other in many years we would periodically check-in with each other with a phone call and it was like we hadn't missed a beat.

To the Kaigler family, there are many of us who served with Drew and loved him as a brother! He is a BIG part of our lives... he fills a space in us all. We are truly sorry for your loss. He will truly be missed but, the memories of Drew will never fade. You have my deepest condolences.

Rest in Peace brother.

WOW!?!
It's really hard to believe!
He was so strong and energetic!
I am Darryl Harrison (Harry) from Baltimore.
Drew and I were stationed together at Dover AFB from 1987-1990. When he arrived at Dover he was so full of life energy and he was always a pleasure to be around. Whenever Drew was around there was NEVER a dull moment. It's so sad that our Dover comrade left this world at such a young age. When you think of Drew all you can think about is that huge smile of his. He will be sorely missed by all (I'm sure).
My deepest condolences goes out to his family

I have been knowing Cecil since our childhood growing up in a little town called "Ideal,Ga" He will be truly missed- His laugh,smile and antics would surely brighten up any room- His death is a never ending and vivid reminder that life is indeed too short and we never know the time nor hour when death will coming knocking at our door-

I shall miss you my friend - RIP - my condolences to Dorothy and the entire Kaigler Family..
