Andrew James Coyle

Andy was my best friend's dad. He was like my dad when mine was in jail. He was so funny and could brighten up any room, he was supportive and creative, kind and wonderful. He taught me how to ride a bike, hula hoop, and make wire crafts. I miss the sleepovers with my best friend Kaiya where he would make us homemade pancakes in the morning. Andy wasn't only my family but my friend. The last time I saw him I was mad at Kaiya so I was grumpy to him too, I'm just glad I got to hug him one last...

I remember when Andy was 2 yrs. old and no matter what you said to him, he would say "I know dat".

He was the best teacher I have ever had he helped overcome a lot in high school and it was an honor to have him as a teacher may his soul rip

Andy always had a greats smile and sense of humor. I remember growing up wrestling with Andy in Wheaton. Although we were crosstown rivals in high school, we got closer at EIU and had some good times. Kind hearted. He will be remembered for good things and his memory will endure.

Andy, you always had a grin on your face. I woke up more times than I can remember to your Great Dane in my House with a note from you asking me to watch your dog while you and Kyle were out canoeing or camping. Be at peace Andy.

Thoughts and prayers for Andys family as they celebrate his life this weekend. He was such a fun, happy, sweet friend of our family and we will truly miss him. Our fun memories made with him at our condo in Winter Park will be cherished. Sending love to his precious daughter. Pat & Diana Dowling
