Andrew McGeehin III Obituary
Andy leaves behind a legacy brimming with love and laughter. He taught us invaluable lessons on how to show tough love and the importance of learning to laugh at oneself. His teachings will live on as a testament to his character, and his wisdom will continue to guide us through our own journeys in life.
He was larger than life in the world of sports, dedicating many years of his life to coaching basketball, football, and golf. Those who had the privilege of being coached by him understood that his accomplishments went beyond winning games. His true victory lies in the countless lives he impacted, helping shape many young individuals into disciplined and well-rounded people both on and off the field.
Andy could often be found at his favorite local watering holes, the Jordan AC and Hogan's Social Club. He will be missed by all of his friends and golf buddies.
He was the son of Andrew Jr. and MIldred (Murphy) McGeehin. He is survived by his wife of 49 years Linda and his sons Andrew IV and Patrick. He is also survived by his siblings Eileen (Tim), Mary (Paul), Catherine (John), Michael (Rose), Thomas (Kathy), Jeffery (Debi) and many nieces and nephews.
In his memory, let us remember to live life with laughter, honesty, and a never-ending zest for learning. His life serves as a lesson for us all, encouraging us to be authentic, resilient, and to always find a reason to smile, even in challenging times. May his soul find eternal peace, and may his loved ones find comfort in the memories they shared with him. Andrew "Andy" McGeehin III, you will forever be missed, but never forgotten.

Andy and I were drafted together in the US Army. I was 21 and Andy 18. This is hard to believe but, we enjoyed our time together at boot camp. He was a great person to be around. I'll always have fond memories of Andy.

Andy's toughness and gruff responses always brought a smile to me. His
unique personality was loved by those that knew him. His "don't be so happy" approach belied a caring heart. My condolences to Linda, Andy, IV., Patrick and his brothers and sisters. He will be missed and remembered.

I remember when Andy invited me to sleep over at his home in eighth grade the night before a big football game. Of course, I couldn´t sleep since the coach told me that I, a seldom used running back, I was getting the ball on the first play of the game. He always had a chuckle for me. He will be missed.

Andy was a one of kind guy. Always had a quick comment if you missed a putt or a shot. He is irreplaceable but we will have a lot of stories to tell about him.
Andy loved his family, friends and may he rest in peace in Lord´s presence.

Andy had a lot of friends and I was lucky to be one of them going back to the third grade at St. Catherine´s. He was a great friend and he could really play ball.

I am grateful to have known Andy. He never allowed anyone to think to highly of themselves. He made us realize that we are all equal in the eyes of God . He helped us to be able to laugh at ourselves which is a beautiful gift he gave to us all. I love you Andy. Rest in peace my friend.
