Words cannot express the sorrow I have in my heart for your family. Today I remembered the same young man that once romped through the halls of the Norcrest Elementary behind his sister, attended the many field trips and fundraisers with his mom, and played at Frank McDonough Park with Wally while Krista and Alli were at cheerleading practice.
Our family sends our deepest and most sincere condolences and sympathy to you Sandy, Tom, and Allison.

Tom, Sandy and Ali - it was a beautiful service today. We hope you found some comfort from the stories shared today of how Andrew touched so many lives in so many wonderful ways. He was truly special. We enjoyed our time with him during swim seasons and the good times traveling to meets, as well as his special friendship with Hannah. Many memories were made and will be held in our hearts forever. He will be missed by so many. Blessings - Carol, Darin, Hannah and Luke Lindgren

Dear Coffey Family, Although we do not know each other, I have not been not been able to stop thinking about you and this unimaginable and unneccessary loss of your beautiful boy. My son is also 20 and in a fraternity at a different school. He told us about this and was upset about the circumstances and wanted us to know that this sort of climate doesn't exist everywhere. He was glad to know, as we are, that activities have been indefinitely suspended. That aside, looking at the pictures was like looking at ours. Today will be a day to pay tribute to a life that was cut too short. I will be thinking of you all and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. May your son continue to live on in your hearts and may his legacy leave a lasting ripple effect.

Tom, Sandy and Ali
There are no words to help ease the unimaginable pain you are enduring with Andrew's passing and yet there are so many words to describe how Dewy touched our lives - his amazing smile, humor and positive spirit lit up our house every time he came over and we were so blessed to have known him. We truly loved him like he was another one of our sons and he will forever be deeply missed. Dewy was a genuine, supportive and honest friend to Tommy and they were truly brothers. He was, is and always will be Tommy's best friend. We will continue to celebrate Dewy's life by keeping fond memories of him alive in our hearts and never, ever forgetting the beautiful soul that he was to us and to everyone who had the gift of knowing him. We are so very sorry and will forever keep you in our prayers.

All our love,
Jennifer, Mike, Tommy, Danny, & Jimmy

Dear Tom, Sandy, Allison,

Where does one start to express the grief and sorrow we all share with you, and the loss of Andrew.
Kim, Justin, Jessica, and I have been deeply affected by Andrews death. It was just a few weeks ago Andrew passed by waving, and Justin talking to him up in Deerfield, with all there mutual friends. Justin remembers all the fun they had after school, and hanging out in the trampoline. There just is no way to put into words the sorrow we feel, and are praying for your family daily, asking for Him to give you comfort and understanding.

Our heartfelt sympathies to both of you, Allison, and Andrews extended family.

Please know our hearts and prayers are with each of you during this extreamly difficult time.

RIP Andrew, you will be missed!

To the Coffey Family - Please accept my deepest and heartfelt condolences. I did not know your son, but I lost my daughter, Holly, unexpectedly from a brain bleed in October 2016 while she was attending her senior year at FSU. I know from experience the heartache you are feeling right now and I will pray everyday that God gives you strength and comfort to go on. Know that Andrew will never be forgotten for he will live on forever in the memories of his friends and loved ones. I hope and pray that you will turn to God and not away from Him at this time. Please find comfort in knowing that your son, Andrew, has been accepted by God into Heaven and that Andrew is now your angel. God bless you and your family. Signed - Mother of an Angel

Although we have never met, nor did I personally know Andrew, our families are connected and so distraught over the loss of your son!! My son was his pledge brother and spent everyday with him over the last two months. He has told us what an amazing young man you had raised and what a respectful, kind person he was and how deeply he has been impacted Dewy's passing. There are no words to lift your hearts or relieve your grief. However, his legacy, kindness and tragedy will positively impact and save many lives. He deserves to be called a hero! We will never let Andrew's memory die in our family! Be proud of the son he was for his short life! Thoughts and Prayers with you always!

Ashley Herbert

Dear family of Andrew, I don't know you, and I did not know your precious son. I have a daughter in her first year at FSU and I have a heart. My heart is broken for you all. But for my faith,I would question "why". I believe God is a much better architect of our future than we are, and believe he is using your son to accomplish something bigger than we are capable of understanding. I am praying for God's peace over your family.
