Andrew Jay "Drew" Perez

It is with deep sadness that we share the unexpected loss of our loved one, Andrew Jay “Drew” Perez, age 21, of Lubbock. Drew passed from this earth on Monday, April 21, 2025, way before his time.

Andrew was born on June 6, 2003, in Snyder, Texas to Crystal Garza and Raymond Perez. He was raised in Lubbock, by his grandmother, Beatrice Marie Garza, who spoiled him and showered him with her love. He attended Coronado High School where he graduated in May 2022.

He brought joy, laughter and kindness to everyone who knew him. His warm spirit made a lasting impression on family, friends and all those fortunate enough to cross his path. He spent most of his time working as a lead man at RT’s Construction where he learned how to frame and be a carpenter. No matter how full his days were, his heart always had room for family! His hobbies were playing basketball with friends, loves going to the shooting range and enjoyed playing video games. He always made time to open his bible. He was a devoted follower of Christ, and he was baptized on September 24, 2023, by Reverend Mario Hernandez.

The memory of Andrew will forever live on in the hearts of his family, friends and all who loved him. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter and a reminder to cherish every moment.
