Charles Andrew “Drew” DuPre, 34, of Greenville, SC, formerly of Texas, left his earthly body to be united with his Heavenly Father on Friday, November 5, 2021.

Born in Baton Rouge, LA, he was the son of the Charles Henry DuPre, Jr. and Constance “Connie” Ness DuPre.

Drew, also known as “no shoes Drew”, was a beacon of love and kindness. His hugs were big and warm. His laughter was infectious. He never met a stranger, and if he did, they weren’t strangers for long. He saw the good in everyone, loved fiercely, and gave selflessly. From the very beginning of his life, Drew’s personality matched his hair and smile – big and bright. He loved his family and friends, hockey, tattoos, dogs, and fast cars. But he was happiest when he was Chef – cooking and creating. To him, food was love and he thrived sharing that love. Drew was the most amazing son, big little brother, grandson, cousin, nephew, and friend.

Romans 5:3-5 was one of his favorite scripture readings. “Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”

Drew’s love and kindness will continue on in the hearts of his parents, Connie and Henry; his little big sister, Cara; maternal grandparents, John David and Morrise Brumbaugh Ness; aunts and uncles, Kim Ness, Ana Maria and John R. Ness, Patsy and John DuPre, and Dr. Helen Just; numerous loving cousins; friends, Dani and Jordan Nahon, Big John Chianis, and Ruthie Smith.

He was preceded in death by grandmother, Annie Ruth Burnett DuPre; grandfather, Charles Henry DuPre; uncle, Jim DuPre; and his beloved pup, Simba.

A funeral service to celebrate Drew’s life will be held on Saturday, November 20, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. at Christ Church Episcopal, Greenville, SC. Committal to follow in St. Luke’s Chapel Columbarium.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in his memory of Drew to Fisher House Foundation, www.fisherhouse.org. And always, spread love and joy as Drew did!

It's not goodbye its.... UNTILL WE MEET AGAIN!!

You will be missed

Drew was a former co worker of mine at a restaurant called Encore. This was devastating to hear. I will always remember his kindness and smile. He once had stickers made for my jewelry business. He was always was so proud and happy to lend a hand or to be a part of something that he could see made others happy. Life is so fragile and without suffering there would be no compassion. That’s what I will always remember about Drew, his compassion. God bless and many apologies to his family and friends for their loss. Kelsey Crooks

Dear Henry, Connie and Cara, Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. What a beautiful baby boy Drew was! ????

Dear Henry, Connie and Cara, I'm so sorry for your loss. Uncle Henny bragged that Drew was an effortless athlete and loved fast cars. I share in your grief over the passing of such an exuberant soul. Love, Cousin Annie

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My condolences to the family. When loosing a loved one it can be unbearable. That is why God has provided scriptures in the Bible to help ones cope with the loss. In the Bible book of Isaiah 25:8 Jehovah God promises soon to "swallow up death forever." He also promises to bring back those who have fallen asleep in death (Acts 24:15). In a little while longer this kind of pain will be a thing of the past (Revelations 21:4). May these scriptures bring you comfort in this difficult time (jw.org)

Dear Henry, Connie, & Cara, We are very sad to hear about the loss of Drew. He had such a bright spirit and beautiful smile. We truly enjoyed talking to him on our driveways over the years about school and hockey, and his culinary ambitions and such. He was always sweet and supportive to Stephanie. We remember you often. Sending you all our love and heartfelt condolences, and keeping you in our prayers.

Henry and Connie please know that our thoughts & prayers are with you. Blessings, Eric and Karen Baker...

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
