Wilmington

Drew Abernathy, 67, of Wilmington, NC, died on September 8, 2024.

He was born in New Castle, Pennsylvania in 1957 on April Fool's Day and if you knew him you know that was his personality. He was a man of many words and never met a stranger no matter how many miles from home he was.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date per the families request.
