It is with deep sadness that we inform our friends, colleagues and clients of the passing of one of our practitioners, Drew Nathan, at the age of 32 after a battle with cancer. More than just a member of the team at HHWC, Drew was a friend and a dedicated professional with an incredible passion for health and nutrition, a great sense of humour and a kind heart. He will be sadly missed and our hearts go out to his friends and family.

 Here are some thoughts our team shared about Drew:
It has taken me a few days to come to terms with, and get my thoughts together, about the passing of our friend Drew Nathan. It still seems surreal. Drew was a kind, passionate, warm, joyful and brilliant man. A “man” in the truest sense of the word. He was always glowing and had a way of making everyone in the room feel special and noticed. I still don’t know how one does that! The world has truly lost an angel and I know heaven has gained one. You were appreciated and loved Drew; and your teachings will live on through all the people you touched. Miss you…Jocelyne

 I did not know Drew, only in passing. But having worked at the front desk for a year, people, clients always called in asking for him or stopped in. Overall they would tell me how amazing of a person he was, a good guy, inspirational and dedicated. everyone has had positive things to say and how he touched their lives…Rhonda

I would like to express my condolences to his family and close friends at having lost such a great person at such a young age.  Drew was so full of life and always eager to help.  I loved that he was always thinking outside the box and encouraging people to be better people.  I am grateful to have known him, even for a short time.  And I am glad that he will finally have peace…Angie
