Born on September 2, 1965, in Des Plaines, Illinois, Andrew's life was a testament to the values of dedication, service, and family.

Andrew's early years were spent in the close-knit community of Des Plaines, where he attended Palatine High School, graduating with the class of 1983. His commitment to his country was evident early on as he served honorably in the United States Army from 1983 to 1985, stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky. After his military service, Andrew furthered his education at St. Clair County Community College, where he earned an Associate's Degree. For 25 years, Andrew was a Production Planner and Internal Auditor for BTM Company in Marysville, Michigan.

He married his wife, Elaine Anter on October 28, 1995, in St. Marys Catholic Church Port Huron, Michigan. Then on, Andrew's Catholic faith was a cornerstone of his life. He became a devoted member of Holy Trinity Parish. Andrew's life was enriched by his beloved family. He enjoyed spending quailty time with his daughter, Sarah.

A true sports enthusiast, Andrew's interests were diverse and passionate. He was an AYSO soccer referee for 9 years. His love for the outdoors was evident in his enjoyment of camping, a pastime shared with family and friends over many years. Andrew was also an avid golfer, a dedicated Detroit Tigers baseball, and Detroit Lions football fan. His community spirit shone through as he played baseball on the local team.
