Drew Livieratos
Drew Livieratos, 53, passed away on Saturday, July 8th 2017. He
leaves behind his mother Ingrid, son Sean, brother Ted, four nieces Rachel,
Brittany, Kristen, and Courtney. Way too many girlfriends to name, and his dog
Daisy. He was preceded in death by two wives Monica and Kina and his father
Orestis.
Born an army brat in
Fort Devens, Massachusetts he lived in many places all over the world including
Germany where he spent the majority of his adolescence. He enjoyed the
opportunity to travel with his brother and parents all over Europe, Ohio,
Italy, South Carolina, North Carolina, and finally Idaho. He gained a love
for rock and roll early in his life and from then on he was
always a hard
rocker.
In his early years he
found his love for football and played the game from the Pee Wee Leagues all
the way through high school. For the rest of his life, he was a knowledgeable
athlete and sports remained a constant in his life, always able to come up with
some of the hardest sports trivia answers. His favorite pro team was the
Carolina Panthers and his favorite college football team was Boise State Broncos
(he even had a blue and orange car). Andrew would not miss a day without
watching some sort of sporting event live or on television; this was only surpassed
by his love of redheads. After graduating high school he attended North
Carolina State University where he failed miserably and found himself enlisting
in the Army joining his father. While stationed in Italy he met his son’s mother,
Kathy, where Sean was born. He liked to talk about his arctic and jungle
deployments he did for his paratrooper training. And would always tell anyone
who would listen about the most feared predator in the jungle – giant Army
Ants! After his tour of duty, he attended Pembroke College in North Carolina
where he successfully graduated with solid GPA and a Bachelor of Science in
Physical Education. He loved to tell everyone how he kept his grades up
while he worked four jobs and attended college at 100 miles an hour.
He then met his first
wife Monica, while working as a physical education teacher in Rockhill South
Carolina. They had a beautiful wedding with close friends and family. Three
months later, tragically, she passed away in a car accident. Years later he met
his second wife Kina and along with her two daughters, Tabby and Megan, they
soon became Andrew’s new family. Andrew and Kina were huge animal lovers and
bred Newfoundland’s and always had their beloved Chihuahuas around. Kina would
later pass away unexpectedly, leaving Andrew a widow for the second time.
Mom (Oma) was diagnosed
with Alzheimer’s disease 12 years ago, and for the rest of Drew’s life he was
his mom’s primary caregiver. During the spring of 2013 he drove across the country
to visit his brother and fell in love with Boise. Not long after he made the
decision to move himself and Oma to Boise from North Carolina. While living
here for the past three years he was able to travel across the country twice
each summer with Oma. He made sure to always stop and take a selfie in front of
the many NFL football stadiums across the country.
Drew was an awesome care
giver for mom (absolutely the hardest job in the world). He also loved his
protein drinks and body building supplements. He would take Mom to the gym daily
(can you say gym rat?) He also rekindled his love for skiing while here in
Boise and along with his brother they got in 41 ski days at Bogus Basin this
past season. He loved to go downtown on the weekend and boogie all night. He
was a regular at Live after Five and the Farmer’s Market. He recently purchased
a new bicycle and loved riding around town. He also leaves behind the last
three loves in his love – Monica, Rose, and Linda.
