Andrew Munson Obituary
Andy grew up in Goshen and Williamsburg, and attended local schools. He trained as an automotive technician in Illinois, before moving to Nantucket in 2005. He was employed by Don Allen Ford, where he was known for his skills as a mechanic, and where he served as shop foreman and head technician.
He was passionate about many sports and wanted everyone to experience and love them as he did, whether running obstacle courses, bicycling, playing volleyball, or pursuing his latest passion of kite boarding. In winter, he played hockey, enjoyed snowboarding throughout the country, and was always ready for the next challenge. Andy's high spirits and zest for life brought him friends wherever he went. He came home frequently to visit family in western Massachusetts, where he remained connected to lifelong friends in the hilltowns.
Andy is survived by his son Kolton of Illinois; his sister Megan Thompson-Munson; step-mother Anita Thompson of Goshen; his father Vaughn and partner Amy Carey of Deerfield; his birth mother Teresa Munson; his grandmother Alice Munson of Florence; and many aunts, uncles and cousins including Marion Delimat, Wayne and Terry Munson, and Sean Munson.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate the life of Andy Munson Sunday, Oct. 5, at 2 p.m. at Wyckoff Country Club in Holyoke.
Donations can be made to the Andrew Munson Memorial Fund for the benefit of Kolton Munson, c/o Easthampton Savings Bank, 21 Locust St., Northampton, MA 01060.
The Ahearn Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

When a friend asked me Monday did I know you...my heart sank. I thought, please god no, not him. But yes, it was you...and my heart continues to break every time my thoughts wander to you. I remember you as a wayward kid, dressed in black, never knowing if he was coming or going. But you always had this sweetness that seemed to guide you, and you found your way. You saved me from a lot... When you would find me crying you always managed to make me smile. I cannot fully express how much you meant to me, and mean to me still. All I can say is that I love you and will miss you always. I hope you find a good place to rest, keep an eye on the rest of us, and tell the "old man" I said hi.

We will miss your laughter and energy here on earth. You were a ball of fire, a pleasant peasant to share in conversation. You will be missed by all who knew you. RIP Andy.

Still so shocked and saddened. One of my childhood best friends. Although we went our separate ways over the years and didn't get a chance to reconnect, I find comfort looking through our messages and perusing your FB page and seeing your smile. That whole second half of your life I never knew but you sure looked happy as ever! You were the 1st to steal my heart and you'll always have a piece of it. I just can't believe this has happened and I'm sure going to miss you my friend. Fly high with the Angels, guard your little boy and send us all messages letting us know you're doing alright. Until we meet again someday, Rest in Peace.
