My deepest condolences to Andrew's family. I only had the opportunity to work with "Penta" for a short while during his most recent deployment, but right away I could tell he was a great guy with a good heart. Nothing I can say or do will help ease the pain of your loss, but I just wanted to express my deepest condolences and let you know that my heart goes out to all of Andrew's closest friend's and family. He was a great kid and will be missed by all of us.

Our deepest sympathy is offered to everyone touched by Andy's life. We never had the honor to meet Andy, but know his fiancé, Lauren. Through her loving commentary about things Andy did for her, places they went together, and seeing so many pictures of Lauren and Andy together, it is evident that he was a very special and loving man, a warrior and a hero that will never be forgotten. May God hold you all in the palm of His hand, close to His heart, and comfort you in the hours and days to come. Semper Fi.
