The Hudson, Wisconsin community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Andrew “Drew” Scott Bjork, who passed on January 19, 2026, in a tragic multi-vehicle collision while returning from a ski trip. At just 24 years old, Drew’s life was cut short far too soon, leaving family, friends, classmates, and loved ones grappling with an immense and sudden loss.
Drew was a dedicated physical therapy student at the College of St. Scholastica, pursuing his calling with determination, compassion, and genuine enthusiasm. Those who knew him describe a young man driven by a desire to help others heal and thrive. His academic commitment was matched by his natural ability to connect with people, offering encouragement, humor, and positivity in every interaction. Drew believed deeply in the power of movement, resilience, and human connection—values that guided both his studies and his personal life.
Beyond his professional aspirations, Drew was known for his infectious joy and vibrant spirit. He approached life with energy and gratitude, embracing adventure and time spent outdoors, especially skiing—an activity that reflected his love for movement and nature. His laughter, optimism, and warm presence had a way of lifting those around him, making even ordinary moments feel meaningful.
To his family, Drew was a cherished son and a constant source of pride. To his friends, he was loyal, uplifting, and always ready to listen or lend a helping hand. His absence leaves a profound void, one that words cannot fully express. Yet even in grief, those who loved Drew find comfort in the countless memories he created and the positive influence he had on their lives.
As the community gathers to honor Drew’s life, it does so with heavy hearts but also with gratitude for having known him. His legacy lives on in the kindness he shared, the passion he carried, and the future he worked so hard to build in service of others. Drew’s life reminds us to live fully, love openly, and pursue our purpose with courage and joy.
