    Wow, what an amazing story. Drew, I respect people that are willing to be vulnerable by sharing something so personal. It’s obvious your dad valued loving and serving his family. It’s so great to see this because these kinds of stories don’t make it to the news very often.
    Your dad inspires me… you inspire me! Thank you!

    I happen to also be the son of a Gospel Minister who has gone to be with the Lord. My dads hobby was repairing and restoring vintage radios. What really stood out to me most is your attitude towards your fathers passing as a "See you later". For those who are saved, this holds a truth that others who have yet to believe cannot understand.
    I have no doubt that we will see them later. While this, as sons, gives us comfort, I know the sorrow and pain that the separation can still cause.
    Thank you for sharing your memories with us and I hope it helps you find peace and comfort. By the way, I also had to be 'rescued' at my fathers funeral. While I have preached many funerals for loved ones over the years, this particular day found me speechless. My older brother had to rescue me as I could not speak. Sometimes our fathers touch us deeper that we could have ever imagined and only at their loss does it become apparent.
    May the Lord comfort you and keep you until your reunion with your dad,
    In Christian love.

    I didn’t expect to shed a tear watching a woodworking channel’s video. Honestly, I clicked hoping you made some cool project as a tribute, but was captivated by the special agent bit and then touched by the telling of his journey to faith in Jesus. It truly is life changing to have security and confidence in your destiny after this life is over. What a great way to honor your father and God in this tribute by pointing to the Gospel message. God bless you and your family as you grieve your loss for the time being and may you all grieve well.

    Sorry for your loss. I lost my dad 5 yrs ago and miss him a lot. He had dementia. It was so hard watching him go down hill the way he did. He was so smart. A jack of all trades. He was one I could call any time with a question about how to do anything and I would always get the right answer. I have some of his tools and I'll use them from time to time and think "he's still helping me". My dad was a strong Christian as well. it's comforting to know where he is at now. God is good. Thank you for sharing this.

    Your father reminds me a lot of my grandfather and grandfather, they also good Christian folks. My grandfather also hosted now lifelong family from Ukrainian and supported them when they immigrated here all while raising 15 children and working full time to support them all while going to church every Sunday to worship with his brothers and sisters in Christ. I fondly remember seeing him mowing the lawn on his old John Deere lawn tractor and poking around in his chicken coop turned wood shop

    The only word I can describe this is beautiful.
    I lost my father just under a year ago, and we as a family just celebrated his birthday - the first without him. He recorded all of our Christmases in the 90s and we rewatched a bunch of them. He made custom gifts for all the kids each year (plus whatever Bart Simpson toy or Bop-its everyone wanted). People don't realize sometimes just how special someone in their life is until you're left with only memories. Much like your dad, mine got me into woodworking too. We would watch New Yankee Workshop every weekend together when I was very young. It's because of him that I became a professional self-employed carpenter.
    Enough with my tangent, but what I'm trying to get at is that a good father is something nobody should take for granted. Yours, like many, are truly a main artery of a stable home and they teach you the ways of manhood, and nobody else can really ever do that. Having God in your life in such a loving way is such a blessing.
    Take care, and I hope your dad and mine get to meet in Heaven. I think they'd be fond of each other.

    Drew, I was diagnosed with a similar (though more aggressive) neurological disorder at age 47. As a follower of Christ and a now-retired pastor, this little video has had a tremendous impact on me. I often tell myself that I need to get over myself… and it sounds like your dad had mastered that. Thanks for all the effort you put into this. I love your woodworking videos and podcast, but this may be the best video I have EVER seen. If you ever come to the east side of the state, I’d love to buy you lunch… :)

You have a great platform and I look forward to hearing you spreading the good news in the future. PTL!

    Thank you for sharing this wonderful tribute Drew! As I get older, I try my darnedest to recognize every special moment whether it be mine or somebody’s around me. People seem to live life too fast to notice wand pass up so many opportunities. Watching your Dad’s tribute and listening to you reflect is a warm reminder of how precious we all are. This woodworking community may not know one another personally, but every night after a long day of work, then an evening in the garage tinkering with anything to build I watch most of you religiously - looking for tips and tricks, layout ideas, the next tool I need to save up for to solve my issue (usually sawdust getting everywhere) or new projects to build. You all put yourselves out there to inspire and be critiqued. God Bless you brother. WE SOLUTE YOU!

    Thank you for sharing, Drew. I knew there was a reason I loved you and you channel. I lost my dad in 2009, he was 76, and he too was the pillar in our family. Although I wasn't raised in a Christian home, I came to know the Lord while I was in the Navy, I know that my dad knew the Lord too. I don't know when, where how he did, but I know I'll see him again. It was very evident in his life in later years. But, like you, he taught me woodworking lessons and handyman lessons that I am now passing on to my kids and other kids. Sometimes I wish I had better equipment (to teach with), but I know that as time goes on, the Lord will provide. Thank you for a great video and a wonderful tribute. God bless you and your family.

    Sorry for your loss. Your dad sounded like an amazing person. I too lost my dad back in 2020 due to cancer. Like your father, my father was a man of many trades. He was a machinist/ tool and die maker. He absolutely loved being a machinist along with his other passion, fishing. He taught me everything that he knew about basic auto repair, plumbing, electrical and pretty much any home DIY stuff. When he showed me basic carpentry thats what peeked my interest a little. After 22 years in law enforcement I retired and I'm really into woodworking now. I got into it a few years before I retired and now thats my main focus, that and fishing! Basically I owe everything that I've learned over the years all to my dad who was also my best friend. It's been a rough couple of years for me but knowing that I'm keeping his legacy alive by doing things that he taught me is also making him proud. Dad I love you and miss you everyday. Sorry I'm rambling on and on. Once again sorry for your loss. Also I love your videos and your sense of humor as well. Keep up the good work bud. God Bless.

    Thank you Mr. Fisher for your memory.
    I am 64 (as in the Beatles song) , I have been a son and a father, now I am a grandfather. And when I look at this season of my life I do it with a bit of melancholy because I know that my strength will diminish until it fades. I am not afraid, or rather I know that it will not be different from this, but I would like to leave happy people after me and in this I trust. Maybe no one will make a video about my little story but I hope they are happy to have had me with them for a while.

    I really appreciate you sharing this video. Definitely got me tearing up for sure. What a great life your father lived. I’ve still got my dad and I just became a dad 7 months ago. I’m doing my best to be a good example for my boy. I know I need to do better at reading my scriptures but I tell my son the stories of Jesus and show him paintings and statues of Christ. That’s quite a testimony that your dad left behind. That’s definitely something that will be treasured by your family forever. I’m going to watch the memorial service because I’m very interested to see and hear more about this man. I’m just so moved by his outlook on his disease and his attitude towards life. I’m sharing this video on my other social media platforms. Thanks again Drew, sorry your dads no longer here, it’s difficult at times for sure but like you said, you know he’s walking with the Lord.
