From Carmen:

 

Hard facts: We are a family of faith! We believe and trust God! Thomas did not have a life insurance policy. We still fully support 2/6 children ages 5 (preK) RaeLyn & 18 (high school senior) Mia. Our 25 year old daughter, Taylor, graduates from college on 5/6 and is getting married on 5/20. Our 18 year old graduates on 5/19. We have a grand baby due in July. I am a disabled Navy Vet. We settled into a simple life in rural Georgia in order to be able to be fully present in our children’s lives. 

Our 5 year old was with him for about 14 hours before I could get help to them, as I was in Durham with our senior making last minute college decisions. 

 

Our hearts are heavy with grief and sadness over the unexpected passing of Thomas Drew. He was a cherished husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend to all who knew him.

 

During this difficult time, many have reached out to ask about how they can help. We have initiated this fundraiser to alleviate the financial strain on the Drew family and allow them to focus on mourning and recovery.

 

Any assistance you can provide - whether it be a donation, spreading the word about the campaign on social media, or simply offering kind words and prayers - would be immensely appreciated.

 

We are grateful for your unwavering support and love in this challenging time.

 

Thank you from the bottom of all our hearts.

 

My sincerest condolences to you, Carmen, and your family.

Will cover shipping to US or international

   Condolences to the family.

Thomas used to text me on nearly every major holiday to ask how me and my family were doing. It was always thoughtful and nice to receive them. Thankfully I got to see him just a couple of weeks ago at SC Comicon. His passing is still surreal to me.

We both collected high-grades cosmic Marvel together. So I have to throw up a key cosmic for him.

Thor #165 Fine/Fine +. Solid copy, pretty good size but light corner crease in the top right front cover. 

$300 to Thomas' Family SOLD! to Crassus

My condolences to Drew Thomas' family.  I lost my father suddenly when I was 24 years old.  In fact, today is the date he passed away 43 years ago.  (Do the math.  I'm old.)  He was a US Navy vet.  Turned 19 the day before Pearl Harbor was bombed.  Joined the Navy in 1942 & served as a motor machinist's mate on an LST (Landing Ship Tank) in the Pacific war.  Go Navy!

I have a Marvel comics lot to donate in this thread for the benefit of the Thomas family.  BIN price is $150.  I'll cover shipping to CONUS.  The books are complete to the best of my knowledge with covers & centerfolds attached unless otherwise noted.  Back covers clean.  No store/date stamps or handwriting.  All books bagged & boarded.  Approximate grades given.

Apologies for the photos-shadow in each pic is my hand & iPhone.

Strange Tales 131 VG/VG+

Strange Tales 132 VG/VG+

Strange Tales 133 FN/FN+

Tales to Astonish 85 G/G+

Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD 7 (one inch split lower spine) VG/FN

Thank you for sharing about your father. My grandfather was in the navy in the pacific during WWII.

If your book is sold, please mark it sold...I'll try and do a list of what is available when I get home later, but it looks like the answer is "not much" ...so keep those items coming  and thank you all

Thanks Andy, @thirdgreenham

Thomas was an active participant at most of the Grading Contests and other Board Events from 2007 on (with Andy hosting/running many of them), and we have those PMs stretching back over 14-15 years.

[L'Angelo Misterioso]

My deepest condolences to the Drew family. I also have a father who is no longer with us; he was deeply invested in the world of comics, as I'm sure Thomas was to the fullest. I'm donating a few comics. It's not much; I'm a young collector, but I want to chip in four books for now.

Lot of 2: 1973-1974 fanzine reprints of Golden Age classics. $30 shipped.     SOLD

@reed-richards, sorry for your loss.  

Thank you Sharon.  It was emotionally brutal at first, but time helps to heal that wound & leave you with great memories of your loved one.
