I did not know this young man, but as a mother my heart hurts for the parents and family of Andrew , way to young to die, God must of had big plans for him, but it's just not right, God Bless all that loved him.

What an awesome young man who loved life and your family. Our family has a huge hole that will never be filled, but we know you will watch over us. The only thing I can think of why you were taken so soon from us is God must've needed a fishing buddy. We love and miss you dearly. Aunt Lori and uncle Gene.
