Julz, I love you and your boys! You know my prayers are still with you during this time. You have remained so strong, and I could not imagine your pain still. I love you so much, and Andy is always with you and the boys. He's looking down on you with smiles. I'm so sorry this happened. See you soon.

I had the pleasure of meeting you just once. That is all it took to realize you are such a wonderful person. Juliana is my best friend and I want you to know that you made her the happiest I ever saw her in 12 years! You have a beautiful family and so many memories you all shared. You will be sadly missed but always loved by your family and friends. Watch over and protect Juliana and the boys.

When Nick told me about what happened, It was very surreal and heart-breaking. Andy was genuinely a great person AND a great friend...He was the first new friend i made in high school (at the 9th grade center)...and one of the best/coolest people I ever met. We had a common obsession with basketball , and many debates about who was better (utah or chicago)...his family was always nice when we came over to play on their basketball hoop outside...great family that produced a great guy!

Andy and I first met in the 6th grade. In high school we had almost every class together, which was cool cause I don't think I would've made it through high school without him. I will always remember all the crazy fishing trips that Andy, Bengi, and I went on. To me Andy was a classmate, teamate,roomate, fishin buddy, but most of all he was a good friend. What an amazing human being he was! My deepest condolences go out to his family and may God look after them.

Andy will be missed by so many. He had a way of touching so many lives and leaving a positive impact. He had a smile that lit up his eyes. He held a special place in the hearts of all those who knew and loved him.
Juliana, Andy will always be near and watching over you as he loved you very much! He was such a good Dad to his boys. Keep his memory alive and strong in their hearts.
Sandy, another great loss for you to bear. The good ones are taken too soon.
Benjy, what a wonderful gift you had of a brother and best friend with wonderful memories. You are so fortunate to have had the relationship you did with your brother.
Lauren, it's so hard to lose a big brother. We take it for granted they will always be there.
To all his family and friends, we will all miss Andy so much. His memory will give us joy and laughter in the days ahead, but now we grieve his loss.
We love you Andy and will miss you!

The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994

Pryor Family,
My heart goes out to you all. I had Andy in class for a brief time at Evans. What a terrific kid. I also knew his father as a student and teacher. I lived above Bob and Sandy in our apartment complex before kids. My husband took care of Bob one of the times he was in the hospital at ORMC. Your family was blessed with two wonderful men. Andy will be missed as much as his dad.

You left so quickly and left tears to shed. When I think of your smile and those special eyes, warmest fills my heart with your memories and a smile comes to my face. I could not love you more my son in law if you were my own born child. You will be forever in my heart. I tell your sons they have there own special guardian angel watching over them. Rest my child in God's heaven.

You were always special from the day you were born. Coaching and teaching you made my life special. So did our fishing trips with your dad. Coach Ernie Chandler

Andy, I still can't believe that god has taken you from us so soon! I have been thinking back to all our happy memories! One of my favorites that keeps popping up in my head is ... the time you were driving your old blue truck steering with one hand and the other out the window trying to grab the grasshopper off the windshield to throw at me cuz you knew I'd act a fool and as you figured, I was squealing and screaming like a little girl! hahahaha It was sooo funny ... You may have had to be there, but the thing I remember most from it was his great smile and love for having fun! Andy, I will remember all the good times!

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. My thoughts are with you Jules and boys..

Andy, We have to say goodbye and don't want too. These are the tough times in life on earth that are so hard to bear. So many memories of you will always be in our hearts. You left us too soon. You were a great son, husband, father, grandson and nephew. Aunt Penny & Uncle Charlie

Andy, I had no idea that you left us and I am still in shock. It's so ironic because your Facebook pic popped up on the side of my page and I was trying to remember why and it hit me that I forgot to re-request you for my new page when I made another one. We go all the way back to Hiawassee Elementary and even went to middle and high school together. You were always a great friend to me. Just like I reminded you a couple of years ago,I will always remember you as my shy friend that we used to get to make his face change colors in the middle of class on command. You will be truly missed by us all buddy and may you rest in peace!

I wish I would have had a chance to see you again, Had not seen you since High School, I've known you since Pre School, and I know that your at peace, for to be absent from the body is to be Present with the Lord. I will keep the Family in my Prayers.

May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and a smooth road all the way to your door.
There are good ships,
and there are wood ships,
The ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships, are friendships,
And may they always be.
