ANDREW KERBY Obituary
Andrew was born and raised in Redondo Beach, CA but resided in Mount Vernon the past 14 years.
Andrew had a passion for horse racing, his family and for helping people. "If we lined up every car in this valley that Andrew worked on we could circle this town twice".
He enjoyed and was grateful for his job at Balmar and his friends there.
Andrew was preceded in death by his parents.
He is survived by a brother Joe, two sisters Jackie and Carmela and their respective families all of Redondo Beach, CA. Daughter Janice (Jared) Sanchez and grandson Ozwald Sanchez of Wisconsin, son, Logan (12), daughter, Cyndi (10) who had resided at the family home in Mount Vernon and Cheri McMackin, the love of his life. Jennifer, Nate, Cody, Jerriann and granddaughter McKenna. Numerous good friends and "extended" family.
A memorial gathering will be held Saturday, April 30, 2011 with an open house from 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. please come and share your memories of Andrew at 214 No. 7th St., Mount Vernon.
Thank you to family, friends, neighbors and teachers who helped Cheri, Logan and Cyndi during this sorrowful time.

It was so good to see you last weekend Cheri, and that you had our love around you at this difficult time. You truly are a courageous and loving woman! We truly care about you. Although I did not personally know much of your special relationship with Andrew who was loved and thoughtful to so many, for you he was the most. For someone as kind and loving as you would have someone as special as he was. Although we all wish he were still here and you cannot understand why he was so suddenly taken from us, I know he was received into the loving arms of God and that here on earth you are too. I pray there will be much to fill the hours and days ahead as you miss him and move through this. I pray you will continue to be surrounded with love, for strength, courage and everything you need to surround you at this time. Andrew we all will miss you. Your friend always,

Andrew was one of a kind - always helpful, always thoughtful. We will certainly miss him. And, Cheri - you know we are always here for you, not far away from our thoughts either. Much love to you.

I am so sorry to hear Andrew has passed. Please send my love to his children Janice, Logan and Cyndi. They were our favorite neighbors and friends when they resided in the Eagle Valley community. Andrew was very thoughtful in showing me how to keep my car running and teaching me how to do my own brake repairs. RIP Andrew and thank you for the memories! God bless his family.
