Drew Powney, Wellington, ON — The community of Wellington is coming together to support the family of Drew Powney, who passed away after a courageous battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. Drew was a beloved father and a cherished member of the community, known for his strength, loyalty, and the love he had for his family.
Drew’s daughter, Sarah, shared the heartbreaking journey her father endured since his diagnosis in June 2022. Initially given a prognosis of one year to eighteen months with radiation and chemotherapy, Drew faced numerous complications, including a pulmonary embolism and seizures, which further impacted his health. Despite a period of stable MRI results in March 2023, his condition rapidly declined, leading to significant speech and cognitive difficulties.
In his final days, Drew was cared for by his daughter Sarah at her home, surrounded by love and family. Sarah recounted the emotional and physical toll on her father and herself, highlighting his unwavering support for his family throughout his life. Drew’s passing has left his three daughters and the community mourning a man who was a rock and a hero to many.
Danielle Findlay, on behalf of Drew’s family, has organized a fundraiser titled "Pulling together for Team Powney" to help ease the financial burden of funeral expenses and other related costs. The fundraiser has raised $185 out of the $10,000 goal, with contributions from generous donors including two anonymous donors and Laura Powney.
The community has shown immense support, and Sarah hopes that more will find it in their hearts to help her fulfill her father’s final wishes and lay him to rest with the dignity he deserves.
