Family time camping in Yellowstone and the Black Hills, as well as in the back yard were treasured times for Drew. As he got older, he enjoyed deep-sea fishing in the Florida Keys, Mexico, and Costa Rica with his sister and parents.
Drew attended Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn School, graduating with the class of 1999. He tried every sport, but his real love was football. He played for two years at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa where he also played rugby. He came home and began farming with his dad, and later purchased an acreage nearby. Drew did not actively farm for long as he became more debilitated by complications of his illnesses. In 2011, he moved home with John and Mary where they cared for him for the next seven years. Drew had many stays at Mercy Medical Center over the years, and had just moved into Touchstone Living Center in Sioux City when his heart gave out on March 24, 2018.
Drew is survived by his mother, Mary Steinbeck of Hartley, Iowa; his sister, Sara Steinbeck of Rock Island, Illinois; maternal grandfather, David Ter Beest of Orange City, Iowa; several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Preceding him in death were his father, John Steinbeck; his infant brother, Jason Steinbeck; his grandparents, Garland and Anne (Oostenbrug) Steinbeck; and his grandmother, Elaine (Beltman) Ter Beest.
