Andrew Felix Obituary
Va Beach - Andrew "Andy" Felix passed away on June 22, 2017, after a long battle with COPD and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. Andy was born January 3, 1952. Andy never gave up. Andy was never a quitter.
Andy is survived by his mother, Ann L. Felix, a nephew and a niece. Andy was the first to start a one man taxi company in 1983. He was an entrepreneur with a good heart. He was always willing to help those that help themselves. He had a strong sense of humor. Sometimes a nice guy, sometimes not.
Andy loved the Yankees, Redskins, riding his Harley, drinking beer, Mary Jane, betting on the horses, Beatles, guns, pretty women, hotdogs and pizza in that order.
He was proud of his nephew, Robert Andrew Felix and his niece, Shelley Felix. Andy was predeceased by his brother, Robert and sister, Marcelle.
Andy crossed most things off his bucket list except going to Little League World Series and a Kentucky Derby.
Andy never married nor had children. He considered his taxi drivers as his children. Andy had many good friends and neighbors in life. Too many to mention--you know who you are! Andy was an 81 supporter.
Andy's only regret was he wished he had never picked up a cigarette. After the Memorial Services the Beer is on Me!!" obituary written by Andy Felix about a year before his death.
His family and friends wanted everyone to know they will miss Andy Felix. Andy has expressed that he wanted lots of flowers or consider a donation to American Lung Association in his name to help others stop smoking.
The memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 8, 2017, at Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home, Bayside Chapel. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.hollomon-brown.com

I grew up and went to school with Andy. He was a popular guy. I had a crush on him in the early days. I now live in the Roanoke area but my dad used to have a beer now and then with Andy at the lone pine. I'm sorry for your loss.

Andy, you will be missed deeply. I thoroughly enjoyed the times we spent together playing for Crowe's TV back in the 70's and our carousing at the Lone Pine or other watering holes we visited back then. RIP

You will be missed my friend! You were my mentor , friend, sometimes big brother, most of the time my father figure. You have taught me so much in the last 10 years that I couldn't amagine how to repay you. I think about you every day! You had a huge heart and the compassion of a saint! You were always fair and gave more then your share. I willl never forget you Andy. It is my duty and honor to make sure that your mother will always be ok and taken care of. Until then Andy, I'll do my best to do what you have taught me! Hold a spot for me at the bar and I'll see you again when it's my turn. With all the love and to you! R. I. P....Ride In Paradise Doug

Andy and I were friends in school years ago. My name then was Alice Landon. That was at least 50 years ago. I moved away but my dad ran into Andy now and then. He told me about his taxi business and what a nice guy he turned out to be. My prayers go out to his mom and family.
