Andrew "Andy" Michael Peeples

Please accept my sincere condolences to Andy´s fiancée Ariana, their four-legged family members Eloise and Finley, his parents Michelle and Andrew, and his extended family for the very sudden loss of this exceptional young man.

He started his career in the Air Force Reserve in the Maintenance Group, Maintenance Squadron, Munitions Shop before transferring to the OPS Group to become a flight engineer who now wanted to become a pilot of our C-130H3 `Hercules´ aircraft.

Over the past year I sent him, a few other flight engineer´s and the 731st SARM office personnel daily e-mails after loading the aircraft flying hours and fuel tracker data into Web G081 (our maintenance information system - MIS).

The day after we received notice of his unexpected demise, it made me sad to not include his name in that daily recap e-mail.

I´ve been a member of the 302nd for 41.5 years (so far) and consider everyone in the 302 Airlift Wing my second family as I literally grew up with the them.

TSgt Andrew Peeples will be greatly missed by his 302nd family, too.

Dear Peeples family, you are each in my thoughts and prayers at this time of loss. I am forever grateful that I had the chance to meet your son. He is a beautiful soul and lovely person. He was a blessing to everyone he met and will be greatly missed. Please take care of yourself during this difficult time. I love you all, my family in Christ.
