Andrew John (Andy) Fabian, age 42, passed away on September 8, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on February 21, 1983, in Royal Oak, Michigan, to David and Karen Fabian.

Outside his professional life, he loved traveling, playing soccer, and was a fan of all sports, especially teams from Detroit.

Loving partner of Rachel Merritt. Beloved son of Karen and the late David. Dear brother of Kimberly Parker and brother-in-law David Parker. He is also survived by his adored cat, Trina.
