Andy was a challenger of life. If he wanted something done he found a way to do it, he made friends, added to his family throughout his life. He played baseball at Grandview Little League until he was 16. He volunteered and coached at that same Little League doing the I.T, and joined the board to encourage the love of the game. Enjoyed pathfinder, World of Warcraft, Dungeons and Dragons. Andy loved coffee with honey, 3-D printing, flipping you the bird in many languages. Loved you before himself. Sarcastic, asked if you wanted the smart-butt answer or the realistic answer. He was part of the fun and part of the chaos.

Andrew (Andy) is survived by Christina (his wife); his children (many by blood, many not) Aiden Matthew Kelly (Kaydience Watkins), Jeremy Forrest Bash (Shelby Luncsford), Addyson Jean Smith-Bash (Kyle Pierce), Adriana Rose Bash, Roland Dean Bash, Darwin Egon Bash. Brooke McLoemore, Brook Larson, Tiffany Briggs, Shannan Archer, Madi Drewes; sister, Heather Wright (Mark); nephews: Ashton Feldman (Paityn), Kaiden Wright (Lynn), Linken Feldman, Talon Feldman (Angelique); nieces, Hope Wallace(Robert) and CJ Templeton; great nieces, Presley Rose Nicole Feldman, Ava, Aria, Frankie Wallace and Michael Templeton; and his mother, Sherry Bash.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Janna Nicole Bash; his brother, Tony; his sister, Melody; and his grandparents and uncle.
