He loved the wind in his hair and the sun in his face as he rode to many festivals and bike runs. Andy is preceded in death by his father Bibian Aguilar.

I'll melt the world will always be our song and today I'm listening on repeat and wishing I could have another lasting memory with you. Till we met again, you're always in my heart. Still don't forget your birthday every year so I hope you hear me singing you Happy birthday!

these wounds wont seem to heal
the pain is just too real
theres just too much that time cannot erase..

You held MY hand through all of those years
And youll always have, the best of me...

My deepest sympathies to The Aguilar Family and Cristina. I am so glad I had the privilege of knowing Andy. He was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor and always so full of life. He always knew how to make people laugh. He had so much to live for but, he lives on in each and every one of us who knew him. I will never forget him and will always be thankful for having known such a great person.

Mrs. Aguilar & Family,
I am sorry that I cannot be there at this time. It breaks my heart to know that one of my two oldest friends is no longer here but rest assure is in our hearts forever. Andy, Lionel and I have been friends as long as our memories and diapers held up. We grew up together and no matter how far apart we lived, we will always be brothers in the heart. I could only wish for that last cruise with Andy on our bikes lasted longer. Mrs. Aguilar, Chuck, Adrian, Charlie and Yvonne....please accept my apologies for I could wish nothing more than to say good-bye to my dearest friend. We were the terrors of Aspen Rd. Andy, I miss you already bro, sometimes we take life for granted and just believe that we will be around forever so that the next time we see other, we just catch up on old times.....see you in time friend.
