In loving memory of Drew J. Maglio, we invite you to help support his cherished family in their time of need.

Drew, a devoted father and veteran, leaves behind his beloved children: Luke (13), Leia (9), and Lauren (6). Drew's love for his children knew no bounds, and he dedicated his life to their happiness and well-being.

Drew's life was a testament to love, service, and community. He was a proud father who coached his son's wrestling and baseball teams, attended his daughters' sporting events, and actively participated in their school activities and projects.

Drew instilled in his children the values of healthy living, a love for nature, and the joy of outdoor activities. His pride in them was evident to all who knew him.

Beyond his family, Drew's generosity extended to friends, fellow veterans, and anyone in need. He tirelessly offered his time to help with projects and shared vital information about VA benefits with his fellow servicemembers.

Drew's commitment to his country was exemplified by his 12 years of service in the US Air Force as a ⚡Special Tactics Combat Controller⚡, including deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq and received multiple awards and accolades for his service including the Bronze Star Medal with Valor.

Drew completed the Combat Control (CCT) pipeline and was later assigned to the 21st Special Tactics Squadron (STS) Blue Team, consisting of about 20 Combat Controllers.

They trained together but deployed separately to support Special Forces Teams in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Drew later served on Black Team, conducting tactical landing zone operations. Between 2014 and 2016, he was on 3 Troop, Blue Team, participating in secret planning and counter-terrorism operations in North Africa and Iraq, directing airstrikes against ISIS targets.

Drew later worked at the Combat Capability Development Directorate, developing future capabilities for special operations forces until his retirement from service.

He pursued his education with the same dedication, graduating top of his class from the University of Akron.

Drew's passing leaves a profound void in the lives of his family and community. To honor his memory and support his children's future, we kindly ask for your donations.

Your contributions will help ensure that Luke, Leia, and Lauren continue to receive the love and support Drew worked so hard to provide.

As one friend beautifully wrote, "Drew will always be known as a loving, brave, noble, and honorable person and Dad."

Your generosity will help keep Drew's spirit alive in the lives of his children, allowing them to thrive as he wished.

Thank you for your kindness and support during this difficult time. Please donate to support Drew Maglio's family and honor the legacy of a true hero.

In loving memory of Drew J. Maglio (1984-2024)
