Andrew Candelaria

Andrew Candelaria 44, born Dec. 10, 1979 of Melbourne Beach, FL found the peace he was always searching for but could never find here on earth. On June 27, 2024, he entered into the arms of his Savior.
If you never were fortunate enough to know him, more than likely it was because of his shyness. But those of us who were blessed enough to have had him in our lives, can tell you he was one of the most tender hearted, gentle, kindest, loving, men that ever walked the earth. His struggles were real, but he is at peace now.
There are no words to describe the void that we, his family, have with his passing. A void that nothing else will ever fill.
Andrew left behind his mother Lucinda Parsons (Myles O'Neill), his father Richard Candelaria (Karen Candelaria), his son Andrew (AJ) Candelaria, his brother Trevor Hester, his Grandfather Manuel Gonsalez, his Aunt Karen Brown, his Uncles Conn (Buzz) Gryczka, and Robert Candelaria. He also left behind many cousins, nieces and nephews, and special friends Anne Cloonan and Jami Hester. He was preceded in death by his Sister JuJohnna Hester, his Grandparents Conrad and Joan Gryczka, and Rosemary Gonsalez. Also 3 Uncles: Thomas Candelaria, Manuel Gonsalez and Michael Brown.
