Drew Wilson Lafferty, lovingly known as ''Mule Man,'' was born on April 1, 1955, and passed away peacefully on January 20, 2025, at the age of 69. A man of deep faith, unwavering dedication, and profound love for his family, Drew's legacy is one of kindness, hard work, and enduring commitment.
Drew is survived by the love of his life, Nita, his devoted wife of 47 years. Their marriage was a testament to a bond that grew stronger with time, rooted in shared values, faith, and an unshakable partnership. He is also survived by his sister, Cara, and his nephew, Ethan, who admired Drew's hard work and determination. Drew was preceded in death by his parents, Tom and Elizabeth Ann Lafferty, and his two brothers, Alex and Bill, who he now reunites with in eternal peace.
At the age of 27, Drew took the reins of the family business his father founded, steering it to remarkable success.

Drew's work ethic and vision inspired all who knew him.
Drew's faith in Christ guided him throughout his life. He was a kind and humble man who prioritized his relationship with God, his family, and his community. His strong moral compass and generous heart earned him the respect and admiration of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Drew will be remembered for his deep love for his family, his ability to bring laughter and warmth into any room, and his unyielding commitment to the values he held dear. While his passing leaves a void that cannot be filled, his legacy will live on in the lives he touched and the memories he created.
