Drew Charles Messmann

Drew Charles Messmann, 51, of Bentonville, Arkansas passed away Jan. 1, 2021 in his Bentonville home. He was born Jan. 24, 1969 in Whittier, California to Dale and Judith Messmann.

Drew had lived in Northwest Arkansas since September 2019 after moving from his longtime home in Fallbrook, California. He was a 1987 graduate of Fallbrook Union High School, where he was the Trombone Section Leader for the school's marching, concert and jazz bands.

Drew's passions were his cherished rescue dogs, crafting, woodworking and vintage furniture renewal, but it was performing and directing where Drew's creative soul found immense joy.

He was a member of the San Diego Men's Chorus, acted and directed in productions with Fallbrook Players, Vista's Broadway Theater, Fine Arts Network and many others. This passion continued for the remainder of his life and was where he built numerous lifelong friendships.

Drew was a loving, gifted, talented man with a quick wit, and sharp and wickedly funny sense of humor. He will be greatly missed.

Survivors include his father and step-mother, Dale and Sharron Messmann of Rockville, Maryland; his Aunt Sharlene Koska and Cousin Jilene Leone of Vancouver, Washington.

Drew was preceded in death by his mother, Judith Messmann of Fallbrook.

No formal services are planned at this time. If anyone desires to make a donation in Drew's name, please consider FUHS Band Boosters, Vista's Broadway Theater or a pet rescue of your choice.
