Andy was always hilarious. Anita, you may not know this, but Andy and I would go into your bathroom after school in first grade and pour out all the shampoos and lotions that you may have had in your bathroom. We did this for two reasons.
1. The lotions and shampoos made great fart sounds.
2. We decided fire ants were no match for our potions.

Andy was creative and fun and made you feel loved whenever you were with him. This is a big loss for all of us.
I'm praying for God's Grace to shine down on the whole family and that the pain of loss would be comforted by our God. Jesus said blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted. Praying all would receive that comfort in this time of loss.
Love you all

Andy was great and talented guy. I remember he always had a smile and laugh on his face. He could walk into a room and have all of us laughing in minutes. He touched so many friends and family in his life. He will be greatly missed by all. I know he's in heaven making the lord laugh for eternity.

Sweet Drew....I am so thankful I had some time with you. I won't ever forget your smile, contagious laugh and huge heart! Knowing you are our guardian angel from above, gives me some comfort. We are the lucky ones because you gave us a little bit of happiness just being around you!
You will forever be in our hearts and with us always!!
Now, go find some trouble that you and our buddy, Paul C can get in to!
I love you Drew...

Andy was more than a best friend, he was my brother. He was smart, funny, loved a good adventure and knew how to work a room. We got into more trouble together than either of our families cared to know about and somehow came out of the other side better for it. I'll remember Andy for his loyalty, passion for life/family/friends and his contagious personality that rubbed off on everyone he met. Love you buddy....

Anita..this breaks my heart for you, Amanda and Robb. I'll always remember Andy and the years we spent together with swim team. I'll especially remember the time I chased him into the boys bathroom and the CIA pool for goofing off. What a sweet, hysterically funny kid he was!!! So glad I caught up with him in 2017. We had lots of laughs. Many prayers for and your family...Love...Linda and Jimmy Sturdevant

Andy loved family more than anything,. Funny, happy, playful Andy, always forging ahead with the next adventure. He told me he loved his mom Anita and was so grateful for her love (and help) in his life. He said his little sister Mandy held such a very big place in his heart, and he and his brother Robb while so different had a very close bond indeed. And his kids, Berk, Ashtyn and Drew filled the rest of his boat and made his life complete. I can't believe our "guns up" Andy is now cheering on Texas Tech from heaven, but there are many of us still here who will never think of Tech without thinking of him. I love Jill and Lori for loving him. His cousins Kasey and Kelly Ann's lives were brightened by their fun times with him. Gone too soon sweet boy. Gone too soon.
