Andrew Scott ‘Drew’ Lucas, 18

Andrew Scott “Drew” Lucas, 18, of Rathdrum, was taken from us too soon on Jan. 18, 2020. Andrew was born in Coeur d’Alene, on Oct. 20, 2001, to parents Cassy Clairmont and Christopher Lucas. As a boy he had spent some time growing up in Minnesota and Alaska, but eventually he returned to Idaho and settled in the Rathdrum area. Andrew was a senior at Mountain View High School and had plans to attend Pratt University next fall as an art therapy major. He also had plans to marry his fiancé, Athena Baldwin, in December 2020.

Andrew was an amazing artist. His skill was so great that not only was he accomplished in drawing and painting, but using his imagination, Andrew could take something ordinary and re-create it into something beautiful. He loved helping others and he saw how it was possible to heal the soul while creating works of art. That is why he had hoped to combine his passions for art and helping others into a career in art therapy.

Andrew is survived by his mother, Cassy Clairmont; father, Christopher Lucas; fiancée, Athena Baldwin; sisters RaeLee and Areyanna; brothers Killian (Jack), Brandon and Nekiah; grandmothers Nancy “Nana” Clairmont and Amy Lucas; aunts Kaili Donica, Nissa Herbert, Felicia, Nancy, and Danielle Norris; uncles Tim Herbert, Clancy Lucas, and Matt Chambers; and cousins Brock (son, Grayson), Kayde and Aspen (son, Archer) Noah, Brayden, Westin Herbert, Shannon Smith Arlene, baby Clancy, Evver, Journey Scott, James and Jeremiah, and last but certainly not least, his cat, Blue.

Andrew will now be joining his papa, Tom Clairmont, who preceded him in death.
