On October 21st, Nicholas, 14, Andrew, 14, Ryan, 13, and Grace, 11, lost their father, Drew, suddenly.

Drew Michael Batiato, 41, was a proud father, a loving partner to his fiance, a son, a friend, a nephew, and a veteran. He also lived life, putting forth all of the positive energy he had and encouraging others to do the same. Drew worked passionately in the financial arena, was an avid San Francisco 49'ers fan, and loved hip-hop music. Drew's sense of humor was second to none and his ability to take the ups and downs of this life with poise was uncanny.

A memorial service will be held for Drew will be held on November 6th, 2021 at Columbus Baptist Church, 11AM, in Columbus, North Carolina. In lieu of flowers, we are asking that donations be made to a college fund for his four children. All donations made will reside in an interest-bearing account and will be used to help them to go to college. We are grateful for all of your support during this horrible time.
