We are shocked and saddened to learn of Andy's sudden passing. While we did not know Andy well, we do know he was a wonderful father. We spent some time with Jesse a few summers back and Andy must have been enormously proud of this exceptional young man. We are painfully aware of how much Andy meant to our dear, dear friend Conrad and we wish that we could somehow ease the burden he is feeling at this time. Our hearts are aching for Helen, Angela and the rest of this wonderful family. We share your pain and your grief at this senseless loss.

We want to send our prayer and thoughts to all the Koch family. We have such fond memories of Andy and how every time we saw him and a band was playing Andy could always be found on the dance floor. He always took the time to chat and catch up on the news. You are going to be missed by many.

Andy, you were a one of a kind person who was always laughing and joking with the guys at work, even on the not so great days you were the person who could make light of it. Will never forget bugging the new guys all the time, also any knowledge you could share! My thoughts and condolences to your family and friends.

Our kids will never forget the ski-doo rides, horses and Hayden's lessons on guns.
You were such a wonderful friend with an enormous heart and a great sense of humor.

Andy, you will be greatly missed by family and friends. You will always be in my family memories; I babysat you when you were just a child, later on you babysat my boys, who in turn grew up to love and admire you. You are the “Cowboy” of the Koch family, training horses, riding in rodeos, teaching my boys how to rope & ride and care for their animals. Those memories will always be with us. Fond memories will linger every day Remembrance will keep you near.

It had many years since I had seen Andy and last year I ran into him. He put his arm around me and said with his crazy grin "Do you know who I am? I smiled back and said Know you, who could forget you! That still rings true today, not forgotten.
