In loving memory of Andrew (Drew) McKenzie, who sadly passed away in Glasgow Royal Infirmary on December 18th, 2022 at the age of 69. He was a loving husband to June, a much-loved dad of Allyson, a papa to Abi and Rebecca, and a brother to David, Bobby, and Philip. He was also an uncle to Leanne, David, Robert, Chloe, Sophie, Natalie, Liam, and Sinead. He was a great friend to many and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Drew's wife June would like to express her special thanks to Angie, Ryan, and Allyson's friends Laura, Chris, Lisa, Mark, Bobby, Dawn, and Wee Dawn, as well as their families, for all the support they have shown and for all expressions of sympathy from all friends and neighbours.

I'll never forget all the hilarious chats with Drew. He was a true gentleman and family man, and I'll miss seeing him and you bicker back and forth with banter that would have me in stitches for hours. Even though he's gone, he'll always be remembered fondly and missed dearly. My deepest condolences to you and the family on the loss of this great man.

  • Aw Stuart, you were his main man, he loved his Friday nights shooting the breeze with you and thought the world of you. It was so sad when his illness made him unable to enjoy your company which he loved. Thank you..

  • Thank you so much Lorraine, Drew and your Dad always had a close bond, they would talk of their youth and of course "the bowls" and I am sure that is still going on now lol. Thank you so much for your kindness.
