If you’re thinking about the term “life of the party”, you have to be thinking about Andy. Always the rowdiest in the room, it couldn’t be a party without him. But the spotlight wasn’t the only light he enjoyed; he also loved the glow of a bonfire and the twinkle of a Christmas tree. Where there was a plug, there was always a light.

Kicking back and listening to some good country music was his favorite past-time. When he wasn’t doing that, you could find him tinkering with his trucks. He would want you to know that he was a Chevy guy (proof in the tattoo).

A man of many skills, he was an HVAC installer/technician, electrician, mechanic, and self-proclaimed genius. He enjoyed fixing the broken and always had a creative solution for anything, whether conventional or not. Duck-tape and zip ties were his best friends.

Andy was a proud and loving father/grandfather and a thoughtful person. He loved his girls and grandson more than anything, and you could always count on a tinfoil wrapped plate of leftovers if you couldn’t make it to the party.

Try a million times, you couldn’t replace him. His light shone so brightly, it will forever be missed.

“But my whole career, I have done things my way and the way that I wanted.” – Hank Williams Jr.
