David Drew Florman, son of Lois Wistenberg and the late Dean Wistenberg , was born October 13, 1961 in Fort Dodge, Iowa, and died June 16, 2018 at Regency Park Nursing and Rehab in Jefferson, Iowa at the age of 56. Drew, as he was lovingly called, grew up in Jefferson and graduated Jefferson High School. During three of his high school years, Drew worked for Greene County Conservation. He planned on becoming a park ranger. Tragically at the age of 18, he was involved in a car/train accident, suffering a severe brain injury. Drew never lost his witty, smart-alecky, sarcasm or his intelligence. He spent the next 38 years keeping his family and friends entertained. Drew was an avid reader and cribbage player. He loved music, especially Queen, Kiss and ACDC. He was diagnosed with throat cancer in November of 2017. Drew wore his cancer diagnosis like a badge of honor. He taught all of us to be brave in adversity, to love in every moment and that there are things worse than death. He was preceded in death by his grandparents; Dean Wistenberg and nephew Caleb Anderson. Drew will be honored and forever loved by his momma Lois and the late Dean Wistenberg; his sisters Lisa Anderson (Troy) of Perry, Iowa; Shon Blake (Larry) of Jefferson, Iowa; Mary Ellen Norman of Missouri Valley, Iowa; Kim Luther (Ben) of Urbandale, Iowa; Brother Tony Florman (Patti) of Mason City, Iowa; many nieces and nephews, cousins and friends.
