As a Christian, Andy's goal was to reread the Bible from cover to cover with a deeper understanding before he passed away, which he accomplished. He was always eager to discuss his faith and enjoyed attending Bible study with many of his childhood friends in Marshall.

Andy graduated from Marshall High School in 1982 and later graduated from TSTC in Waco. He worked at SWEPCO for 20 years, during which time he returned to school and earned a Bachelor of Science in Business from LeTourneau University at the age of 45. He was very proud of achieving his bachelor's degree later in life while working full- time, as was his wife, Jana. In addition to being an electrician, Andy was skilled in welding and could fabricate just about anything out of aluminum. He spent countless late nights in his shop repairing boats and making grills and cookers. He loved building things using both his mind and hands.

Anyone who knew Andy recognized his love for dogs. He was an avid duck hunter who enjoyed watching the dogs work, especially his late dog Rocky and his current dog Coop. His passion for duck hunting and dogs led to some of the best friendships anyone could be blessed with, including those with Rody Best, Ronnie Landry, and Craig Johns to name a few. His hunting friends have always inspired him during his health battles, and they, along with their families, are considered extended family.

Jana would like to thank Andy's sweet friends and family who stayed in touch through phone calls and visits, offering encouragement during his illness. She would also like to express her gratitude to the many doctors who supported him, particularly Dr. Herbert Zeh, III, and his team at UTSW.
