WALLACE JEAN ANDRESS
It is with immense sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Wallace Jean Andress, of Golden Valley on July 3rd 2022, at the age of 58. We are comforted by the fact that he is with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Wally was born April 3rd, 1964, in Robbinsdale, Minnesota and grew up in Golden Valley. He married his high school sweetheart Janine on August 10th, 1991. Wally and Janine bought his childhood home from his parents in 1998, and raised their twins, Amy, and Nick, in a great neighborhood. He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Janine, daughter Amy, son Nick, dog Axl, cats Leo and Rosie, sister Janelle Kelly, brother Douglas Andress, nephews Will Kelly and John Kelly, niece Carolyn Kelly, along with many dear friends. He is preceded in death by his father, Guerney Andress, and his mother Leona Andress.
In his free time, Wally loved to fish, smoke cigars, golf, camp at Voyageurs National Park and the Boundary Waters, and play Candy Crush. He never met a whisky he didn't like. Wally was a great handyman, who could build or fix anything and was always willing to help family or friends on a project. He loved 70's and 80's music, and his favorite movie was the Blues Brothers. He loved his cats so much that he made a sling so he could work while they laid with him. Wally was loved by everyone who met him, and he will be greatly missed. A visitation will be held on Thursday, July 7th from 4-7 P.M, and the funeral service will be held on Friday, July 8th at 2 P.M. with a second visitation taking place 1 hour prior. Both the visitation and funeral will be held at Washburn-McReavy at 1400 Mainstreet, Hopkins, MN 55343.
