A young man so full of life and a heart of joy. I miss you so much I can’t express how I feel it’s like a bad dream still. I’ll love you forever.

Being my 3rd son (though not biologically), Andrew will always be in my heart. I remember his loving and polite mannerisms so well. I recall (during their high school years) when he invited my son Bobby to church and I only knew this when Bobby came home in the night and told me he got baptized! I didn’t know Andrew or his family then, therefore I was greatly concerned about the church Bobby got baptized in without my presence. To verify the baptism information, I drove, by his direction, to Andrew’s home where I met Mrs. Parker and the rest of the family. I looked at both Andrew and Bobby and smiled; thankful that Bobby had found a friend who loved the Lord and who led him to Christ, but I also knew I had double trouble on my hand (lol). The were in separable since then as he called me Mom.
Andrew you’re playing drums with the host of angels. We will meet up some day in Heaven.
Love and prayers to the family always and I am just a phone call away!

It's very hard to accept the fact that Andrew is gone but I now have resolve it's a journey we all must take. I will miss hearing him call "Hi mom" whenever he greets me with a warm hug. He was a son to me as I watched him and my son grow up as close friends. He had the utmost respect for me as an elder and I will miss his visits coupled with warm smiles and Godly conversations. Andrew, you are gone but never forgotten. You will always be my third son.

To Our Family,

There is not a day go by that I don't think of my nephew Drew. I remember his humor, smile and laughter.

My heart is broken and words can't begin to describe the hurt and pain I am feeling but I know it does not compare to what my sister, nieces, the children, great nieces,nephews and Aunts are going through / feeling.

Yes, I am aware of others who are sharing in our grief as well.

I am here for each of you and praying. I would like to leave this message to Drew.

Thanks for being a nephew, a son and bowling buddy (you still can't beat me). You brought a lot of joy to my life and I will never forget you. I love you always and forever in my heart!

Uncle Andy
