I have known Andrew since he was a kindergarten student at West End Elementary! I watched him grow up through his years at West End and during High School when he and his family would come to the lake with us at the Nolans lake house along with many other West Rnd families! He was always so kind, curious. witty, and considerate of others even at 5 years old. He and his brother Adam were so close and they seemed to always take care of each other. His mom and dad were always so proud of him and Adam. I can picture Andrew now with a big smile on his face asking how he could help and then running off laughing about something that struck him as funny. I like everyone else who knew him are so saddened by his passing but know that he is in a better place celebrating with our precious Jesus and his loving mom and dad!!! RIP Sweet Andrew Grant
