Honoring Drew Dauphin-New Orleans Terror Attack Victim

Drew Dauphin, 26, native of Montgomery, AL, and 2023 graduate of Auburn University, was killed tragically in the New Orleans terrorist attack on New Year's Day. Funds raised will be used towards expenses associated with the funeral and anything the family needs during this very difficult time. Here's a statement from the family:

It’s unbelievable. Who should have to come up with words for this? Our family is suffering more than anyone can imagine. Drew lit up every room he entered. His smile was infectious. He had the best personality. We are such a tight family, dependent on each other, friends, family, and neighbors. We cherish the 26 years that we had with him, and raising him will always be one of the greatest joys of our lives. Our family is numb and in shock through this horrific and senseless tragedy. Drew was happiest at Lake Martin with his little brother, Matthew. A close friend said it best, “Drew will always now be in the sun at the lake that he loved so much.” We did not get to spend enough time with him and can’t believe we will never see him again this side of heaven.

Drew went to New Orleans to attend a concert of his favorite musician, Billy Strings. Drew brought along his little brother, Matthew, for his first Billy Strings concert.
