Andrew was born on December 8, 1989 in Sioux City, Iowa. Son of Ricky D. and Johnette Gatzemeyer, he graduated from the South Sioux City, Nebraska public High School. Andrew loved playing baseball as a kid through high school as a catcher with his father Rick coaching him. He was an avid golfer, loved playing cards, fishing, camping, and spending time with family and friends. Andrew enjoyed playing in golf tournaments, going on the yearly fishing trips with Lisa’s family, and watching his kids play sports. He was engaged to Lisa Klemmensen. Andrew always had a smile on his face and a joke no matter how he felt. He could always make anyone laugh no matter how you were feeling.
Lisa and his sons were his pride and joy. Andrew loved family with all of his heart. He wore his heart-on-his-sleeve. If you knew Andrew, you knew to laugh and smile. He will be truly missed by everyone.
Andrew is survived by his fiancé Lisa Klemmensen; sons Gage, Chase, and Korbin; mother Johnette Gatzemeyer; brothers Anthony (Lara) Gatzemeyer, Aaron Gatzemeyer, and Adam Gatzemeyer; in-laws Rich (Shari) Klemmensen, Linda Klemmensen, Brad Klemmensen, and Melanie (Aaron) Guillaume; grandma Grump (Mary Jessen); many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and friends that were as close as family.
Andrew was preceded in death by his father, grandparents Ray and Pat Gatzemeyer and Kevin Beatty, and several aunts and uncles.
Andrew was able to give the gift of life as an organ donor as he was a recipient himself of donated kidneys in 2016.
