Andrew Michael Caggiano

April 17, 1995 - February 11, 2015

Raleigh

Andrew Michael Caggiano passed away in the early morning hours of Wednesday, February 11th, 2015. He was an incredible and loving son, brother, grandson, cousin and uncle. His brilliance and passion for learning always shined bright within him. He was dedicated, loyal and had an impeccable work ethic. He loved engineering, music, longboarding, horticulture and spending his time researching anything and everything he could imagine. He was always looking for answers.

After graduating Leesville Road High School in 2013, he went on to The University of North Carolina Charlotte. It was there he joined the Engineering program to fulfill his endless dreams of opportunity

He was not with us long, but will forever be in our hearts… he will continue his journey and we will always be with him along the way. His spirit will forever touch those who knew and loved him, and will be an inspiration to all for a lifetime.

Andrew is survived by his parents, Anthony & Debra Caggiano of Youngsville NC; siblings Anthony (AJ) Caggiano of Raleigh & Arianna Caggiano of Milwaukee, WI; Niece and Nephew Emerson Caggiano and Avalena Caggiano of Raleigh; Paternal Grandmother Elizabeth Caggiano of Naples, FL ; Maternal Grandparents Richard & Miriam Klein of The Villages, FL; as well as countless extended family members and friends. We are grateful and blessed Andrew will now be with his paternal grandfather "Poppi", Anthony Carmine Caggiano, Sr.

A wake will be held on Sunday, February 15, 2015 from 1:00-3:00 pm and 5:00-7:00 pm at Mitchell Funeral Home, 7209 Glenwood Ave, Raleigh. The funeral service will follow on Monday, February 16, 2015 at 11:00 am at Mitchell Funeral Home. A private cremation service will take place at a later time.

Today we try to celebrate your life. It will never be easy. Six years today, God decided he had a better plan for you – I hope and pray you are busy doing good as I know you are. It never gets easier, just tolerable with exception for moments for which its ok to let your emotions go and release the pain, if only for a moment. I know you are with us, and we are dealing with this in our own special way. It is a little different for us, as Parents, who gave birth to you and promised you would be fine and we would go before you, this just did not happen – there was nothing we can do when you got sick and passed within days – we accept that. Just know in our hearts we will always have you in our souls, thoughts, and minds forever – that does not go away. So today we will celebrate YOU – on your 6th heavenly anniversary – praying and hoping you can hear us and help us through this. I know you will. With our love always, until we see each other again, Love Mom & Dad 2/11/2021

Happy 5th Birthday in Heaven-
It is not getting any easier writing to you , even after 5 years. Mom and I miss you so much it still hurts like it was yesterday, Mom and I traced our
Last vacation with you For your fifth and we are in the Caribbean in the same spot we took you the year before you passed away, I guess we are trying to remember the good time we had and enjoyed our time away with you.
You and I had a beer at the docks at Curaçao and we split a bucket of beer on the cruise ship. We teased your mom most of the trip it was awesome, Im so glad you talked us into taking you with us, we were going to leave you home, but I glad we did not it is some of the best memories I have of us.
You are an awesome son , brother , uncle cousin , nephew and we think about you everyday.
We think about you every moment, I wills not wish losing a child on my worst enemy, it is the worst possible thing any person can go through, especially when that child was as awesome as you were.

My sweet Angel Andrew

Our last Christmas together was 5 years ago today - the pain never goes away on just how much we miss you. I hear your voice every day and little things remind me of you that makes me smile and cry at the same time. As Dad and I start our new chapter in Florida, you are always with us.... Aj & Arianna miss you terribly and have a bond that can never be broken - please never leave us in spirit - we need you to continue to make us strong. My heart will always ache for you - I miss you so much. Please keep reminding me you are still with us.... I love you with all my heart, until I see you, hold you and never let you go .... with all my heart love Mom

Merry Christmas to my angel in heaven, I know we have been busy the last 6 months , but dont think we ever stop thinking of you, we never stop.
Your mother and I as well as countless other people never stop thinking of you and the many memories you left behind , as a matter of fact my uncle Richie is on his way to heaven and he was a huge fan of yours , so keep an eye out for him.
Andrew we are coming up on 5 years soon and the void that was left in us is hard to think about , Im sure you see us and know what we are going through and I know god is keeping you busy doing great things.

Merry Christmas I love and miss you so much..

Love Dad

My Dearest Andrew,
Another Christmas with out you, I miss you so much, the Holidays are definitely not the same with out. Emerson and Avelana are getting so big and actually enjoyable this time of year, they are the only reason I even get through the Holidays, it is so hard to even grasp how my stomach just churns when I think about celebrating with out you. I know you are keeping Poppy busy up there and know that you two are looking down and watching over us to make sure we are ok, I'm not.
Mom and I are going away to the islands again, not sure why , but it gives us something to look forward to get through the Holiday's, we will be on some of the islands that went with you and always think about when I shared my first beers with you, it was then that I realized what a mature smart young man you have become.
as always Andrew Merry Christmas to You and Poppy, and a happy new year. I watched the tribute video today, I have not watched it in a long time, I cried like a little girl, tough seeing you in all of those pictures, you were always such a happy guy, god took you too early Andrew.

as always love Dad

Love you always Buddy.

p.s I would think after I have wrote a few of these I would be able to make it through with out crying, I cry just as much now as I did the first time.

We all miss you so much. With our everlasting love, until we see each other again - keep flying...always in our hearts Love always Mom & Dad

My Andrew (our Boy)
My thoughts were with you this holiday! We are and will forever be with you no matter the circumstance. During Thanksgiving, it was extremely hard to get into the spirit without you here, there was such an emptiness that no one can ever explain. We trudged through, however, knowing your sister and brother needed the uplifting as much as we did. Decorating for Christmas had a hole in my heartbut I thought to myself. Andrew LOVED this time of year, therefore you helped lift my spirits as I was doing this in your honor. I know you were there, helping us cope and enjoy the time with Emerson and Ava! I am sure you loved the moment (kind of a Griswold moment) when Emerson was SO excited playing WII that he accidently released the handheld remote and broke the TV! I can see you laughing and saying oh no, Dad is going to lose it. Well he didn't because children do have accidents! It was just so empty without you.. I know I cannot change the things that have happened, and I know everyone is trying to stay strong, but it will never be the same without you. I hope you understand that. You gave me such incredible signs that I will always treasure and hope you continue to do this until we meet again. Dad is so broken and so am I, but we try every day to do our best and hope you understand the pain we feel. Christmas Eve was so special going back to David's made us all feel wonderful and I know you were there for us writing this hurts so much, but at the same time..makes me feel good. Talking about you in stories always brings a smile to my face and I know Dad loves telling the stories it's what keeps us going. Losing Max broke my heart again, but knowing he went to you gave me such comfort you know that. I believe there is a reason for everything, some things simply cannot be explained. Dad and I cannot blame ourselves, but learn to accept and learn to adapt our lives without you. AJ and Arianna are in the same situation, but I will always do my best to make it the best we can for our family and most important.for you. Always know how much we love you, as not one single day, hour or minute goes by without you in our thoughts I know you are doing great and I am sure you are doing amazing things that we simply cannot see. Every day I think to myself just how proud I am of youyou truly are an Angel and God had bigger plans for you. You are forever in our hearts Andrew with all our everlasting love. Mom & Dad

Dear Andrew,
I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas in Heaven, this is not getting easier, if it was not for the your niece and nephew I would not celebrate Christmas. We miss you so much, it is still so empty without you here , the holidays will never be the same. Today was so much fun, your nephew just threw a wei paddle fly out of his Hand and shatter my 65 inch tv.
Max passed away a couple of months ago, mom misses him a lot I'm sure you are watching over him.
Andrew I really have nothing else to report right now except I miss you, and love you so much.
Andrew you mean so much to me and life is tough without you,
Love always Dad.

Dear Andrew,
Another Thanksgiving and the start of the Holiday Season, I know you do not want to hear this, but it is such a hollow time of year with out you, it does not get easier at all. If it was up to me I would just skip right past it all, but for the family I tread on, just know that your Mom and I miss you with all of our heart, and feel you with us. Andrew I just want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving in Heaven and know one day we will be together again. Love you Mom and Dad
p.s. Talk to you soon my little buddy

Our Angel Andrew
Today marks 2.5 years since you started your new journey. Every day I am blessed in knowing that you give me signs that you are with us in spirit. Each day is a new journey for us, as we learn a new way of life without you. Words cannot describe how much we miss you and want to hug you one last time. I treasure the memories and know you are with us, helping us on our newfound journeywithout you. There is so much I want to say, but you already know. If those who have not experienced the loss of a child, the pain.the heartbreak never goes away. we learn to live with it and adapt as best we can. It's a lonely place without you. Friends and Family do their best and for that I am eternally grateful. It's the silence of not having many people to talk to and for that I have also adjusted. In less than a week, Dad and I are going away (with you of course) as you always wanted us to travel. You will be with us, as you always have and not one moment goes by without our toasting to The Boy when we sit down to eat. It's our prayer. Keep flying and know we are OK, but our hearts will always be broken as we only have memories to live by. I know when you are near me and that feeling I will continue to treasure because I know you are always with us. With our everlasting love, until we see you again.. Mom & Dad

Dear Andrew,
It has been over 26 months since you have began your start in the next step of your journey, the feelings of the loss of you in my life is so devastating, I get up in the morning and just have no desire to do anything, people say well you have you grandkids. Grandkids are awesome in their own way, but they can not substitute for the loss of you, I'm a greedy person, I want you and my grandchildren. Andrew just know however busy we get in life you are always in my thoughts, it is hard to fight back the tears every time I sit down to write something to you. I want to wish you a Happy 22nd Birthday, and your 2nd Birthday in heaven, also Happy Easter.
Your Mother and I miss you and love you so much it hurts, Holidays are not the same with out you, if it was not for the grandchildren I would not celebrate holidays anymore, but that would not be fair to them.
Again I want to wish you a Happy Birthday, all my love to you Dad.

P.S. talk to you again soon.

Debra & Anthony Caggiano

April 17, 2017

Dear Andrew - Today is your 22nd Birthday - and your 3rd Birthday in Heaven. It does not get any easier, but I know in our hearts - you are always with us. It is even more painful today, as I gave birth to such a wonderful boy, who never stopped making me proud.

Today we celebrate you and remember the happy times we had together. I wish you were here with us, but knowing you are here in spirit helps me get through each day.

We love you so much Andrew and not a day goes by when I a not thinking about you.

Tonight we will go to your favorite restaurant, and yes there will be a place for you - your spirit will be with us as we help you celebrate your Birthday.

WE Love you and miss you.... keep flying above us as we are always with you .... With our Love - Mom & Dad

Our Dear Andrew,

Two years have passed since you started your new journey. As I sit here to write, all I can think of is how much we miss you.

We love you so much! There are times when I feel your presence and I smile, knowing you are with us. I miss talking to you, hugging you, and seeing you. You have made such an impact on so many lives and will never be forgotten.

Time does not heal all wounds. A broken heart will learn to keep beating - just differently. I pray you are in a place where you always dreamed you would be. Family & friends are so comforting and I am thankful. Know you are and will forever be loved like no other.

I know when the time comes, you will be the first I see and I will never let you go. We all know we have a true Angel watching over us. You will always be with us - that will never change.

I pray for those who have lost loved ones, one can never imaging what it feels like to be a parent of an Angel - unless they are part of this tragic, yet special group.

Andrew - with all our love, we honor you today and always - Keep flying above us and know our love has no bounds....

With our Everlasting Love
Mom and Dad
Arianna & Andrew
AJ, Emerson & Avalena
Your Friends and Family

Dear Andrew ,
Here we are, our second Thanksgiving without you , people said each one should get easier, well this one is harder it is or surreal anymore, it is what I feared never sitting with you again at a holiday. Andrew your niece and nephew asked for you today as they looked at your picture on the wall, I tried to explain as best I could without breaking down myself. If it wasn't for them I would skip the holidays it's too painful for your mother and me, people say your looking down on us and in a better place, I'm selfish because I know your better place is here with us,
We love you so much and miss you so much , never stop thinking of you love Dad

TTYAS.

My Andrew, 20 months have past since you left to your final destination. Not a day goes by where I wonder, pray, cry and think of you. I am trying to move forward, but the pain is so overwhelming - as I have a gaping hole in my heart for you. I hope you are safe, loved and helping others - as I try to get myself moving forward for YOU. AJ and Arianna are so amazing - God Bless them. Your Dad is also truly amazing - as he continues to move forward knowing how much I hurt. It hurts more now than ever before as I try to move on, but it is difficult as many have moved on with their lives, and I feel at times, I am still stuck in second gear. For your 18th month anniversary in Heaven, Dad and I made it a point to go to your favorite restaurant, and yes, i got the chill up my spine, to let me know - you were with us. I will try to be more positive, but for now, I hope and pray you are in a great place, as we miss you so much. Always in my heart - I will never stop loving you ... Mom

My Andrew Today marks one year since the last time I hugged you and said goodbye to you, as you went back to school I remember you came back as you forgot your hat, and I hugged you once more before you left. I said as I always do text me when you get back and be careful & I love you. I will always remember. I will not lie, it breaks my heart every day, but I am also trying to make you proud by moving forward with my life. We miss you terribly and wish we can hold you once again, but we know we can only do this in our heart. I will keep my promise to you and travel to Colorado this year to celebrate what would have been your 21st Birthday on April 17. I love you so much Andrew and pray you are loved in heaven as much as you are loved on earth! You are so special to me. I love you to the universe and back. With my eternal Love, Mom

My Andrew:
I wanted to write over the Holidays but it was too hard for me. You were always in my thoughts and prayers and I know you were with me and Dad. New Year's was just the same- it was quiet as we closed the books on 2015 with an overwhelming emptiness that simply cannot be explained but you know The first two weeks in January, your Dad and I took a cruise for 10 days, every toast has and will always be in your honor as we were constantly reminded what a great time we had on our last cruise.with you. On Dad's Birthday, it was significantly hard as it was on my Birthday. The emptiness will never go away but we know you feel us, hear us, and help us. The day after was 11 months since you began your everlasting journey it was so difficult, but I am so grateful to have Dad because we really need each other and I have never loved him ,re as each day passes. We really needed this vacation to breathe, reflect, relax and re-energize ourselves. Every Day, I saw you ad felt you were right there with us. It's a gift I never want to go away I cannot express just how much I miss you as we near the 1 year anniversary of your new chapter in the afterlife. I will always be looking toward the sky for strength, hope and encouragement I know you will always be here for us. We will be there in Colorado for your 21st Birthday In April.just the way we planned MeYouColorado along with Dad, AJ & Arianna to honor YOU!!! Please God, Take care of our boy God chose oly the best when he chose you.. With my everlasting love..Mom

Andrew,

Its Friday, th 13th of November. I took Wed-Friday off to do who no one ever wants to do - go through your belongings.

It was so overwhelming. I cried for hours - but got it done. I know it just as hard for you - as you hate to see us in such pain.

I see things that remind me you are safe and loved. I know you are with me and you are busy helping others through - I know...I know it pains you to see us fall apart - But we need to let you know, we are good as long as you are with us.

Everyday - I think of you, wondering if you are happy and content. You are at the ultimate place - a place where all of your questions are answered, as your beautiful heart grows to help others - I cannot be more proud to have an Angel as my son.

While we are here, we will continue to do our best hooring your life here, as much as you would have always wanted to make us proud - just so you know - you achieved it the day you were born.

Here - your life had a special meaning - you never advertised just how special you were - that was your gift - and I am forever grateful to be your Mom.

I always knew you were a special one - I just feel a little selfish now, because I wanted to see your life beyond 19 here with us, with your family, as I know you had such great plans to make a difference and change the world....
I know you will accomplish your goals....just in another place....

You tell me in your own way, with a strong cold breeze out of no where....I absolutely love feeling you near me.... I see this when I see a Hawk, flying over me when i need you the most....I know how much you love us and keep us beleiving - don't ever stop....
As I go through your things, I am reminded on just how special you are.

My heart broke because I just wanted to give you one more hug & one more kiss and one more true conversation - I can spend an eternity talking to you... The last day I saw you, you came back as you forgot your hat. I was so thriled to see you come back so I can give you one last hug and as I always say ..." Text me when you get back home"... and you did.... This will forever be in my heart as the look on your face as we said our goodbye's - you had ultimate peace and happiness and I thought....

"I am the luckiest and most blessed person right now - having 3 of the most wonderful children with 2 Grandchidren - yes .... Life is good".

When you left me only 4 weeks later, The only thing I can only think of was.."it's ok - He is good - He will do great things in his own way"....

When I cry, it's because I love you. When I think of you - it's because you made such a profound mark on so many. When I pray - it's to thank God as I know he only takes the best and all I ask is that God knows just how much I miss you, and will always love you forever....until I see you again ~ All my love....Mom

Dear Andrew,
It over 5 months since you passed away, the days are very hard to get through for me, not a day goes that I wish I could take your place, you deserve to be here , you had so much to offer the world. I try to keep busy to help get through the day it helps a little, but not enough. Some really good friends of mine through a benefit downtown in your name they closed the street served a four course dinner in the middle of downtown Raleigh, and so many of your friends came to honor you, Andrew all I can say is that for a 19 year old you left a mark on this earth that no one will ever forget, you were truly an inspiration to everyone that met you.
I love and Miss you so much , talk to you again soon.
Love Dad

Today, we celebrate your First Birthday in heaven. We know you will be giving us strength to celebrate your life today and always..
We will smile and laugh at the memories and will continue to be strong as you would want us to celebrate YOU!!
Today, let us reflect and celebrate - Andrew hears us and would want today to be joyful - reminding us that our friends and family are so precious as we all take a moment to remember what truly is important in our lives.

~~ I wish you were here today
even for just a little while
To wish you a Happy Birthday Andrew!
and see your beautiful smile.

The only gifts today will be
the gifts you left behind;
The laughter, joy and happiness...
precious memories...the best kind.

Today I'll do my very best
to try and find a happy place...knowing you are with me I will celebrate your life and your love
I'll sit quietly and look at your picture
thinking of you with love;
Knowing you are happy in your new world above.

May the angels hold you close and
sing you a happy song...
and I'll be sending wishes to you
today and always...until the day we meet again ~~
With our everlasting love - Happy Birthday Andrew!!!
Mom ~ Dad

There is not a day that goes by that you or your family has not crossed my mind . Today, more than others, but always at some point in my day, you and your entire family is on my mind and in my heart. I continue to have you all in my prayers and I pray you guys are finding some sort of comfort in this difficult time. I know Andrew is not here in the literal sense but I am inspired by him everyday. He has made me appreciate things that had become very easy to forget to appreciate when going through the routine motions of life. I am so thankful for that. Andrew, the presents we got from your presence alone will never be forgotten. Lots of love and thoughts always!

Andrew

Two months ago, the Angels called upon you. God chose the best when he chose you.

As painful as it continues to be, you continue to provide us strength and love every day, hour and minute. You are always with us and we are always with you.

You have inspired so many lives in such a short time. We always knew how special you were, and as you continue your journey, you will inspire others forever.

We will always treasure the memories and know you are with us as we continue to honor and celebrate you until we see you again.

Andrew was a respectful friend who had a roaring passion for learning. He definitely had found who he was as a person and his confidence and open minded personality was evidence of it. Every time I had a conversation with him, he would always have interesting facts to tell that he had encountered while researching. The deep discussions we had helped shine light and inspiration into my life and I am proud to announce how grateful I am that he was a part of it. You will be very missed Andrew and your family will be in my prayers.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Caggiano,

Getting to know your son during my time at Mez was something I'll never forget. Andrew was an incredibly confident, smart, and open minded person. His advice and outlook on life took me buy surprise so many times. He had a sense of perspective that many people never find, which is something I truly aspired to. It was always a better day when Cagg was working, and to say it would be impossible to replace him would be an understatement. Your son was truly an amazing kid and he will be missed. Wishing you the best,

Your entire family is in my prayers. Andrew was a really awesome guy. We went to middle and high school together and he was known for being the funny but really nice guy. I started losing touch with him in high school and did after we left for college and to this day I can remember his laugh so distinctly. He is going to be missed by so many and will live on in the hearts of so many. I am so so very sorry for your family's loss, ill be thinking of you all.

Dear Mr and Mrs Caggiano , there are no words to say to soften this time for you. The only thing left to say is I have been praying that God will give that peace that only comes from him. The peace that surpasses all understanding. I didn't know Andrew well only on my visits to my sister Tachi but a few times i saw Andrew and Adam hanging around and doing what kids do. He was very respectful and sweet. My sister would say " he is such a good boy" and when i heard of his passing the only thing that came to my mind was he left too soon. But God knows best. Rest asure that God is with you and ur family.

Me and Andrew always had the best memories together. We used to spend summers together and that's how we became so close. We went to splash splash, hershey park, just spending days on end at the beach, fighting in front of grandma and grandpa all the time. Then we both got older and he couldn't come visit as much and we both got busy. We lost touch for a little bit and reconnected a few months ago and talked about school and everything. We had planned for him to come visit so we could hang out since both of us were able to drive. I really wish I had the chance to see you again. I will never forget all the memories we shared and all the laughs we had. You were like a brother to me and I'll always love you. Rest easy cousin <3
