Andrew, it will be three weeks on Monday since you have passed. My heart aches for you. My heart is broken that you are gone. Rest in peace my son. You are loved by many. I love you has high as the sky, as deep as the ocean and as wide as the universe. Always have and always will. I wish you could come back so we can all hug you and say our I love you to you. I miss you son. I wish we had one more chance to share our deep thoughts and feelings. Love Mom

Andrew, you were loved by so many people. I love you as high as the sky, as deep as the ocean and as wide as the universe. We had our good times; fishing, swimming, being your baseball coach - that was fun. We went camping, hiking, I miss seeing you when you were competing in track and field, I totally enjoyed watching when you played basket ball and volley ball. You were well thought of in all your schools. When you were little and on up...you would give me a hug and say I love you mom. Your teachers were amazed that you would do this in front of others. You have been through a lot in growing up. I am so sorry that you did. I tried to protect you as much as I could. I will miss you more that you could even imagine...We spent 21 years of living together (one semester you lived with Jeremy your coach). We did a lot in those 21 years. Boy, did you love war craft! You have your mother's and father's sweet tooth. I miss making your favourite dinner; breaded chicken (my own mixture of spices), vegetables and blueberry. I will treasure the moments we have shared. You are an awesome son and I am proud of you.

Andrew, I just found out today of your passing after taking a week break from the gym. You were the first person I met since I joined the gym three years ago. I was introduced to Crossfit because of you. Thank you Andrew. Today's workout was dedicated to you. You will be missed.

Durand family and friends,
My deepest and most sincere condolences for your lost. Andrew was a fantastic person and I'm very grateful for the time I spent with him at TAC both as a co-worker and as my trainer for a few sessions. His laughter and joy was contagious..it would always put a smile on my face!
And from what I've read so far, I wasn't the only one. Andrew you will be dearly missed!

I am deeply saddened to hear of Andrew's passing. I was Andrew's teacher and basketball coach at Ingersoll D.C.I. My transfer to Huron Park in Woodstock was made easier when I saw Andrew's smiling face in the gym. My condolences are extended to his family. Colin Slimmon (Woodstock)

Though I only met you once Andrew, I could instantly see the happiness you brought to my dear friend Amy. It was undeniable. Through our many years of friendship, I had never seen Amy quite as happy and in love as she was when she was with you. You have touched the lives of so many, and you leave behind many cherished memories. My heart goes out to you, Amy, and my sincerest condolences to Andrew's family and friends. Though difficult to understand - God always has a plan. May you take comfort and gather strength in that. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in sweetest peace, Andrew.

Andrew was an amazing trainer and person. I was his first client at Goodlife. We met 3-4 times a week for 9 months. I was around when he first met Amy. He talked about you all the time Amy. Whether it was about your driving skills or your sweet offers to get him butter tarts when he was having a weak moment. He did have quite a sweet tooth. I gave him a jar of almond chocolate butter that he ate in one day. I have a hard time believing that he wont be at the gym anymore. you were the greatest Andrew , you changed my life for the better. condolences to Amy and your family.
