[ About ]■
Drew Medford was born in Fort Worth in 1998. He was a spunky, curly-hired redhead who enjoyed the little things in life.
Drew was known for his passion and dedication to the sport of baseball. He played baseball at Paschal High School in Fort Worth, where he was a three-year varsity starter and enjoyed playing endless games against some of his best rivals at Arlington Heights High School. In his junior year, he was voted Utility Player of the Year, and he earned All District MVP as a senior. Additionally, he was an Honorable Mention All-American, as well as First-Team All-Texas.
After playing baseball at Paschal, he was ranked as one of the top prospects nationally and signed with Texas Christian University. Guided by the principle of Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” Drew attained his lifelong dream of becoming a Division 1 athlete.
Although leaving this life all too early, Drew left his mark on his family, friends and the community of Fort Worth. He was known for his sense of humor, drive to succeed, humility and empathy for others. Drew was able to give the gift of sight to two separate individuals who suffered from blindness. Drew was also able to donate bone and soft tissue (musculoskeletal tissue), which has provided a total of 167 gifts to patients suffering from a number of medical ailments, including athletes with torn ligaments or tendons that needed a transplant to heal and regain strength. The Medford family is very pleased to know that Drew’s life continues to make an impact for the good of others.
In 2017, The Drew Medford Memorial Baseball Tournament was launched to honor Drew's memory and his passion for the sport of baseball. Each year, local high school baseball teams are invited to participate in a four-day tournament. For each participating team, a standout player is selected by their coach to receive a scholarship. This player must embody Drew's characteristics; the drive to succeed, humility, empathy for others, and team leadership.
To date, more than $247,000 in scholarship funds have been awarded. In 2026 alone, $29,000 was awarded to 29 local athletes to further their education. Your support will help fund these scholarships!

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident, and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. The latter will take care of itself. It always does.
