Andrew enjoyed keeping in touch with old friends and his large family, whether online or in person.

Andrew was an exceptional father and husband who enjoyed spending time with his wife and daughters, taking many trips to Walt Disney World over the years, in addition to other family adventures. He was passionate about music; writing, playing, and producing his own pieces. He enjoyed taking on creative projects such as laser cutting, building design, and home improvements. He was a committed member of Rotary International and served as the president of the Rockport Rotary Club from 2017 to 2018. Rotary programs such as Youth Exchange and RYLA were some of the areas that were very important to him. Andrew was kind, generous, and had a wonderful sense of humor. He volunteered for many kinds of projects and helped family and friends however he could. His warm smile, laugh, and sense of humor will be missed.

A Celebration of Life will be planned for family and friends to attend in the future. Donations in his memory may be made to The Rotary Foundation.
