Andy was the light of the room. If you knew Andy you knew that he was best at making people laugh. Paired with his kind soul and golden heart he was quite the guy. He loved everyone and everyone loved him! When I was a young girl, Andy asked me what my favorite candy was. At the time, I answered “fun dip.” For YEARS he brought me fun dip EVERY single time he came over. Sometimes more than one! He just liked to see people smile. I knew when Andy left mom and dad’s house there would be a fun drawing in the bathroom(s.) He would take a bar of soap and draw on all the mirrors!! It was always exciting to see the messages he left and have a good laugh. He touched all of our hearts and the world is a better place because of him. We love you Andrew and will carry these memories for a lifetime. May you rest in peace.
