Andrew Bressner

Andrew "Andy" Edward Bressner of New City, New York, passed away on January 15, 2025, at the age of 62 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was the loving husband of Keren and adoring father of Emily (Ben) and Noah (Georgia).

Born on April 30, 1962, Andy graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, where he made many of his best friends, and from the St. Louis University School of Law. He was a pilot, a certified scuba diver, a gardener and a talented home cook, often making big batches of food with vegetables from Cropsey Farm and sharing them with his loved ones. His extreme generosity, curiosity and sense of humor will be cherished by all who knew him.

Most recently, Andy worked as a special education attorney for the New York City Department of Education, but he always fondly remembered working at Jones Beach Theater when he was younger, because it was where he met the love of his life, Keren. Andy was an avid fan of the Mets, Giants and Knicks, even (perhaps especially) when they lost.

In addition to his wife and children, Andy is survived by his parents Adley and Gerald Bressner, siblings Jon Bressner and Amy Eisenberg, a wonderful family, and loyal friends near and far. Friends and family knew him as a devoted dog dad.

His family would particularly like to thank the nurses, doctors, and staff at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for their compassion and care. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Imerman Angels (imermanangels.org) or a charity of your choice in Andy's memory are appreciated.
