It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved friend and family member, Andrew Summers Jr., also known as “Dru,” on April 2, 2026.
His strength, kindness, and compassion touched the lives of all who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew Summers Sr. and Clara Johnson Summers; his sister, Brenda K. Summers Banks; and his brother, Charles Edward Summers.
He is survived by his daughter, Andria Bell; son, Ty West; stepbrother, Gabriel Maxwell; and several grandchildren. In addition, Bezley IV and Adam Ellison, whom Andrew co-parented, as well as a host of honorary nieces and nephews, relatives, friends, and his long-time lady companion, Tasleem M. Muqtasid.
Andrew’s unwavering support, warmth, and sense of humor brought comfort and joy to family, friends, and all who crossed his path. Many people were with Andrew during the later days of his struggle with cancer, especially Quinlyn Foules, a dear friend, and his cousin Belinda Hayes.
Though our hearts are filled with sorrow, we find solace in the memories we shared, and the legacy Andrew Summers Jr. leaves behind.
Andrew will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
