You will never recognize the greatness of God until you reach the end of your own greatness.
Franklyn Roy “Frank” Drew, 88, left this earth on December 10, 2024, to spend eternity in his heavenly home.

Frank had been a resident of Pensacola since 1972, where he and wife, June, raised their two children. He retired from the Air Force U.S. Security Service in 1976 and earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of West Florida in 1979. He then worked for the Civil Service as a systems analyst until his retirement in 1996.
Frank was an active member of Pinewoods Church in Cantonment, where he served as an elder. Frank will be remembered for his devotion to both his family and his faith, his willingness to serve, and his big smile.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Willis Roy Drew and Frances Elizabeth Johnson Drew.
He is survived by his wife, June Drew; daughter, Jackie Kressin (Mark), of Pensacola; and son, Kevin Drew (Heather), of Austin. Also surviving are his grandchildren, Linzi Kressin and Drew Kressin (Sydney), of Pensacola, Ava Drew of New York City, and Logan Drew of Austin, as well as great grandchildren, Rooney Kressin and Elton Kressin. Frank’s sisters, Janice Derrick and Linda Heins (Richard), also survive him.
