One of the most important and memorable days of his life was October 3, 2015 when family and friends gathered in Franklin, TN to celebrate marriage to Colleen, his best friend, his soul mate and the true love of his life as he was of hers. Never to miss a unique moment, their wedding was filled with love and laughter amidst a land born hurricane offering everyone in attendance an unforgettable week of joy and fellowship.

Andrew was a graduate of Highland Park High School and Belmont University, where he earned his Bachelor of Business Administration in Music Business Production. Andrew excelled as the Manager of Media Production at Shore Capital Partners, launching their company wide podcast series.

His creative spirit shone through his love for podcasting, videography, photography, and music, where he shared his talents through his guitar performances, both solo, and with his bands, Allyview and Circuit Sound.

Known affectionately by friends and family as "Plandrew" for his talent in organizing memorable experiences, he spent his final year with Colleen, celebrating the Rangers' World Series victory and treasuring trips to Disney World, New Orleans, witnessing the eclipse in Dallas, and visiting the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. Andrew was known for his infectious laughter, warm smile, unwavering loyalty, and his undeniable ability to light up any room.
