"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou
We lost an important part of our DRIVE community with the loss of Todd Anderson.
Todd had an extremely positive affect on everyone he came across in life, at DRIVE it was no different.
He started out in DRIVE Surrey and moved over to DRIVE Langley once it got opened. Both of these DRIVE communities will miss him dearly.
Sending love to everyone impacted by this tragic loss, especially Todd's immediate family.
Basketball is such an amazing sport that creates bonds & shared memories.
We thank Todd for helping us deliver & promote the sport to so many youngsters. He was a great guy and staunch supporter of our program. We were lucky to have him.
RIP β€οΈ
