ANDREW MAHONEY Obituary

"Andy" Mahoney Nov 8, 1969 - Aug 31, 2013 OKLAHOMA CITY Andy Mahoney was born in Oklahoma City November 8, 1969. He was the son of Grant and Shirley Mahoney and little brother to Tim Mahoney. He struggled with diabetes for over 10 years. He was taken after a long fight with pneumonia and MRSA staph infection. Andy attended St. Charles Borromeo grade school before finishing up at Putnam City grade school and high school. He loved motorcycles and hot rods and street rods. Always a big car enthusiast. Loved concerts and music and collected antiques. Andy was an airplane painter for Capitol Air Park as well as Downtown Air Park and Scott Rayborn at C.E. Page Airport. He also painted for Bob Moore downtown. His happiest moment in his life was the birth of his son, Braydon. The sun rose and set with that little guy. Andy was preceded in death by his stepmother, Glenda Mahoney; uncles, Jimmy Mahoney and Bill Mahoney; aunt, Kay Mahoney; and cousin, Shawn Mahoney. He is survived by his father, Grant; mother, Shirley; big brother, Tim; and his only son, Braydon. He is also survived by many cousins; friends; and best friend, Mike Skala. He was usually a loving son, brother and father. He had those difficult moments like all of us when he wasn't perfect, but he loved every one of his friends and family. He was giving to a fault. Memorial services will be held 11:30 a.m. Saturday, September 14, 2013, at the St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church.

Not to be informal but I know no other way than to say this to Andy...
To Andy:
Dude!! I can't believe you are gone....it just seems so surreal. Seems like yesterday we were sitting in your room listening to the radio with Timmy trying to win tickets to concerts, or playing in our backyards..ect ect!! You were one of the few cousins I actually grew up with, and I cherish those memories always and forever. I will never forget your laugh either, you had the cutest laugh and grin! We were Raggedy Ann and Andy ..... I will miss you cuz!!! Play some good music for the angels and rock on!!!
To Aunt Shirley,
I am so very sorry, but, no words can express my sorrow for you Aunt Shirley. But please know I love you so very much and thinking of you. I wish that I could have been there. May God give you comfort during this difficult time and embrace you.
Much love always and forever,
Ann Marie Grellner-Rushing

For those of you who may or may not have known Andy, a very strong and talented individual, any presence of sadness would immediately be dismissed by him by smiling and trucking on down the road leaving the wind burning... ...almost appropriately Andy's kick start attitude wore off on me a bit and I'm sure others can tell their own version, mine goes all the way back to the 70's, its because hIs spirit is just as strong and naturally funny, and as Andy would want me to do I will put the sadness and the still unbelievable fact that he is not here physically, and go out and work on my truck, pop a cold one and make the best of the day, and I am reminded daily he is permanently here as his own spirit and soul, and as his Job Description changed in recent years to "Father", the lord sent Andy his "Ace", his son, I never knew a more happier, proud, and joyous person as Andy when he spoke of his son.

Andy I know your resting You fought hard, mean, and tough.

I know you are busy keeping track of all of us up there. Send me a signal sometime...

Andy,...I also know that Heaven is a heck of alot less boring with you up there!
