Ryan was a true mentor whom he dearly loved and respected. Drex was greatly influenced thru his years with Dixie Junior football and Dixie High School Flyer Football. His High School Football coach, Andy Stokes, really took Drex under his wing and helped him through some of life's challenges. Drex loved to be with his friends just hanging out or hiking. He will be missed by many.
