Drew Hayden Carraher, 34, of Emmaus, passed away on Sept. 6, 2025. Born in Allentown, he was the beloved son of Gretchen S. (Warmkessel) Carraher Kohler and the late Scott J. Carraher.  Drew was a 2009 graduate of Emmaus High School, where he was a member of the lacrosse team.  He went on to attend Penn State University.  He worked as a welder for Lehigh Heavy Forge, Bethlehem and later as a driver for UPS.  Drew attended Bethel Bible Fellowship Church, Emmaus, where he volunteered for Groceries Plus.  He was very creative and artistic, loved music and played the guitar, enjoyed sports, was an avid reader, and loved aviation.    Drew's love and caring influence blessed his family with dedication, service, and his unfailing sense of humor that we will cherish for all our days. His love of adventure and ability to enrich each and every experience transcends his short time with us.

Drew will be deeply missed by his mother, Gretchen (husband Ben); his sisters, Erin (husband Mike Piazza) and Molly; his brothers, Brian (wife Charity Carraher) and Kyle; his grandparents, James and Leann Warmkessel; his aunts, Beth Witte (husband Ron) and Susan Carraher; his uncles, Bob and Jim Warmkessel (wife Bonnie); his cousins, Ross (Wife Jamie) and Matt Witte, Jimmy and Jack Warmkessel; his nieces, Summer and Aria Piazza, and Diana Carraher; his nephews, Warren and Scott Carraher.

Arrangements are entrusted to Schantz Funeral Home, P.C., Emmaus.  In keeping with Drew's spirit, we invite you to wear casual attire as we gather to celebrate his life.
