This is so touching, and a beautiful tribute from a mother to her son. Dr. Schoonover, I had no idea you had lost your son. I just discovered this today while looking you up to help me recall the new office location. Though late, please accept my condolences.

Henny, It has been awhile since I have seen you since I have not been attending church. But you and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers. Although I did not know Andy after reading his biography, it is so clear what a caring wonderful man he was. In some ways he reminds me of my oldest son Jeff, also a free spirit. May God give you peace.

When I learned about Andy it took my breath away. I was filled with a deep sadness. He was unique, with a wistful sweetness and an immense creative talent. To George and Henny and Andy's sister please accept my sincere condolences. I am so sorry.

I knew you wouldn't ignore my text messages. And so I thought something was weird… I thought maybe you went on vacation, or lost your phone or even moved back home.
But I could never imagine that something like that could have happened…
My heart is very very sad, but I know that wherever you are it has to be a good place because you were such a good and sweet boy!
My thoughts and prayers go out to your mom, dad, sister and to all your family and friends who, I'm sure, love you so much.
Be in peace beautiful Andy!

I attended Stanton with Andy. I had a few classes with him. I didn't know him well, but I remembered his smile and well, you don't forget a name like Schoonover!:). I don't think we have lost many in our class, and this really got to me. I think of Stanton Grads as unique and special. So much talent and intelligence was nurtured at that school. I am saddened to hear that we lost one of our brightest so soon. Yet, I am in awe of his short but impressive life, one that seemed to be well-lived. My condolences to the family.

This is for Lauren, Henny, and Dr. Schoonover. I hope this may bring you comfort. My tears are flowing for you all."Wounds of the spirit... are most gently soothed and made whole by the passing years. Under the old scars flows again the calm, healthful tide of life.... Under a great loss the heart impetuously cries that it can never be happy again, and perhaps in its desperation says that it wishes never to be comforted. But though angels do not fly down to open the grave and restore the lost, the days and mont
hs come as angels with healing in their wings. Under their touch aching regret passes into tender memory; into hands that were empty new joys are softly pressed; and the heart that was like the trees stripped of its leaves and beaten by winter's tempests is clothed again with the green of spring. ~George S. Merriam

He sure knew how to make you laugh! I'll miss his smile and the way he saw the world. We studied together at Flagler and I'm so glad he was a part of our "graphic design family" while at school. He made everything so much more interesting. Andy will be greatly missed.

No memory of Andy is complete without the words spontaneous, fun, and adventurous. I consider myself very lucky to have gotten to know such a unique person so well. No words can describe the emptiness that comes with knowing he was taken from this world too soon.
The Schoonovers are a great, close family, and I offer my prayers and support during this incredibly difficult time.

So saddened to hear of this tragedy. Andy was certainly one of the most unique people I met at Flagler. So funny and SO Talented. (I will never forget the "poop"' book he illustrated!) He's one of a kind. Gone too soon. Yet… “It is not length of life, but depth of life.”- Ralph Waldo Emerson
And we all know Andy lived a life full of adventure, travel, laughter and love.
You will be missed my friend.

I went to High school with Andy and we were into a lot of the same things. About a year or so ago I saw him surfing out at the Poles and we spent a while catching up. He was a special person, great artist, and very funny and outgoing and will be missed.

Andy was an amazing guy. My friend Zach and I would cheer him on every time he entered class at Flagler College (we all took the Graphic Design courses together). He was amazing. His work stood out from everyone else's, his PERSONALLITY stood out from everyone else's. He was definitely one of the nicest, funny guys I've ever met in my life. And this news is horrible. I'm so sorry for your loss... everyone's loss of such a great person.
