Aug. 10, 1999-Nov. 7, 2014 Andrew Martin Leroy Fryberg was a Tulalip Tribal member who blessed us with his presence on August 10, 1999. He was a victim of the tragic school shooting that had taken place at Marysville Pilchuck High School on October 24, 2014, a day that impacted all of our lives forever. After a long two weeks of fighting for his life, Andrew entered into rest November 7, 2014 at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Wash. Andrew was such an amazing and important person to our family, especially being that he was the first boy born into our family that was filled with girls that would do just about anything for him. Andrew was known for his one-of-a-kind personality. He was always smiling, very outgoing, being over protective and caring, being an amazing friend, uncle, brother, and son. Andrew was a natural born athlete and succeeded at basically everything he tried to do. He loved to play football, wrestling, riding quads, hanging out with friends, family dinners, watching his nieces and nephews and spending time out on the water. He also loved to take car rides with his sister Leila, as well as random road trips with her to Yakama just to get Miners. Andrew leaves behind his mother, Laheen Fryberg; sisters, Tawny Fryberg (Merlin), Kiah Fryberg (Andy), Tasha Fryberg (Ryan), Josephine Fryberg (Chandell), Leila Fryberg, Brandee Fryberg; his brothers, Cameron Fryberg, Nate Hatch, and Hercules (Andrew and Nates dog); grandparents, Keith and Mary Casady; nieces and nephews, Koda, Keiara, Ladianian, Kailonna, Maleia, Bryson, Andrew and Aiden. He also leaves behind numerous of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Andrew was truly blessed with such an amazingly large family. He is preceded in death by his father, Leroy Martin Fryberg Jr.; grandparents, Leroy Martin Fryberg Sr., Ella M. Hill, Loris Puyette, Robert and Keeta Cameron; uncles, Martin J. Fryberg, Glen Mcjoe, Leroy Wyman; aunts, Dee Dee Cameron, Carmen Wayman, Donna Jean Brady, and Ladonna Fryberg; and nephews Dayson Blondin and Jordyn Moses; as well as a special friend, Zoe Galasso. Andrew will be forever missed but never forgotten. Visitation will be held Wednesday, November 12, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. at Schaefer-Shipman Funeral Home with an InterFaith service to follow at 6:00 p.m. at the Tulalip Gym. Services will be held Thursday at 10:00 a.m. at the Tulalip Gym with a burial to follow at Mission Beach Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Schaefer-Shipman Funeral Home.

Words can't express the loss your family is feeling for your Andrew during this of mourning. May he look down upon you all from heaven and be your light and guardian angel from this point forward. I have been so touched and saddened by the tragedy at MPHS since the moment it began. It should have never happened. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Let God guide you through this, and lay your beautiful son, brother, uncle, and cousin to rest.

Lahneen and family: My heart goes out to you all – I remember the last time that I saw him come into the Senior Center with you – He has this great big old grin on his face and said “She let me drive” – you and the girls gave him the look and you gave him a little love tap with the paper in your hand – I could see the love you all had for each other than – just try to remember thru these very hard times that memories of him will come back to you when you need it.
I have put this Guest Book on line forever for the other three girls and now Andrew. Remember to take time to take care of yourself Lahneen. Lots of Love – A cousin and Elder from Tulalip

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
