We became friends when you were my bartender and listened to my problems way back then.
Then as luck would have it we ended up working together at R&L and only to find out later that your little cousin Khloe is my niece. I will miss our gun talks.
You're a good dude and I am honored that you were my friend.
I will not attend your service and it is not out of disrespect, as I would rather remember you in a different way.
Vibrant and alive!
You were a hustler.
Prayers to your family.

I am in SUCH shock as many others are, too! Can't stop thinking about all this, Andrew! I feel so broken for your family and friends. RIP....I want to come and pay my respects but not sure if I can handle it. Maybe I'll remember you just the way you were. (My mom's service was there, too,and not sure I can walk back in there for the second shocking death! Haven't been there since..) prayers for all that are devastated.❤
