Slippery Rock teen remembered for ‘heart of gold’
A sophomore at Slippery Rock Area High School who died Sunday in a one-vehicle crash has been identified.
Colton Drushel, 15, died from injuries sustained in a vehicular accident, the Butler County Coroner’s Office confirmed Tuesday.
Colton was a passenger in a 2011 Honda Pilot that crashed at 6:15 p.m. Sunday on Route 8 at Kiester Road. The vehicle was driven by a 17-year-old boy from Butler when the crash occurred, state police said.
His obituary in Wednesday’s Butler Eagle says the teen will be remembered for his “heart of gold.”
Colton enjoyed family time and looked up to his big brother, “always supporting Ethan in his sports,” the obituary said. The teen also liked video gaming, hanging out with friends, quad riding, fishing and his dog, Annabelle.
Colton is the son of Neil Raymond Drushel and Paula Ann Strobel Drushel.
