Lisa and family, I've just learned of the passing of your beloved husband and father Andy. I'm pretty devastated and truly saddened by this...I have tried to follow your family since first viewing your story years ago on Unsolved Mysteries....it hurts to know that such a vibrant young man is no longer here. My prayers and comforting thoughts are with you and your family. May your Precious Andy dwell in the presence of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in peace until God rejoins you together again.
