What can one say about a cousin who brought smiles, laughter, and a zest for living into one's life. He was and is loved by all who's lives he touched. The memories of doing things with Andy when we were kids, will always be treasured, along with the memories of visiting with him in adulthood. Lexi, Kaden, and Andrew, are his legacy, and I love seeing bits of Andy in his children. I look forward to the day when I can see Andy again. Until that day, I will enjoy being with the family, but will miss Andy.
Love to Vicki, Joe, Terri, Renee, Lexi, Kaden, and Andrew.

It was upsetting to hear about Andy, who I had known since Junior High school and went to high school as well. My sister was in his class. He was handsome and debonair!! I will never get the opportunity to say hi or see him again. I will remember his infectious smile. God bless to his family. angie dawson poky class of 1981

My heart hurts to think of going to family events from now on and not seeing my cousin there. I will miss his goofy smile and infectious laughter. I'll treasure my teenage memories of Alan and I playing pool with Andy and laughing with him at dance clubs/bars in Pocatello. Ashley, Alexis, Kaden, and Andrew - your father was a gem. Aunt Vicki, Uncle Joe, Terri, and Renee - I am so very sorry for your loss.
