Mark A. Drews, age 69, passed away on Sunday, February 13, 2022, at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, with his loving family by his side.  Born in Brookline, Massachusetts on September 24, 1952, he was the son of the late John T. and Anna T.

As an audiophile, Mark created a career centering around music, forming Mark Alan Drews DJ Service.  He performed at numerous venues, including Jason’s in Boston.  Mark lived close to the City of Boston for a number of years, making his home in Dedham, Brighton, and Newton; however, in more recent years, he made his home in Framingham.  After taking a break from his DJ career, Mark took a position with Home Depot, giving customers advice on upcoming projects.

Throughout his life, Mark was an avid New England sports fan, and especially loved following the Patriots.  He also coached his nieces in the Framingham Women’s Ice Hockey team. Mark also took an interest in photography, always searching for the perfect angle to snap a photo.  Most of all, Mark was dedicated to his family and enjoyed taking an active role in the lives of his nieces and nephews.
