Drew loved life, he lived every moment to it’s fullest. I was texting and joking with him in the hours leading up to his passing. Even then he was enjoying his day. It still doesn’t feel real. This was I believe the first picture of all us. @samsansevere pic.twitter.com/I73t4yfNH1

"This is the most difficult thing I've ever had to do in my whole radio career," Justice, co-host of the Justice and Drew Show remarked.

"He was at the moment with his wife. I intend to return home later today, but I asked to be the one to deliver this sad and tragic news to you."

"Drew was my closest companion. I don't need to tell you how amazing he was as your buddy. It goes without saying that I'm heartbreaking, and he will be sorely missed "Justice was carried forward."

"Everyone at iHeart is in mourning. Please keep Drew's family in your thoughts as they go through this tough time."

Andrew's (Drew Lee's) obituary is making headlines on Facebook and Twitter. His friends and coworkers have all expressed their condolences via social media.

They are all as stunned as we are to hear the news. He was too young to die, but nothing in life is definite.

According to her, he was always great at connecting with individuals and making them feel comfortable sharing parts of themselves with the audience he adored.

He had an incalculable and unexplainable influence on everyone surrounding him. Samantha regarded him as one of his closest friends who believed in her when others did not.

"He listened to her when others refused, and he made her laugh when she needed it the most. It must have been heartwrenching for her to telecast the news about his death.
