A friend to so many. Andrew always said, he'd "rather have four quarters, than a hundred pennies."

These four friends were definitely his four quarters, Micheal Cantu (RIP), John Wilkes, Kristyn Caswell Stasel and Angela Johnson 

Andrew was an IT developer/coder  He loved music, reading, movies and playing his guitar. Andrew had a great sense of humor. Andrew was one of the most courageous and resilient human beings.  He loved hard and lived fierce. He loved his family dearly and his friends were blessed to have him as a friend. Andrew was so compassionate and always would go out of his way, not only to help family/friends, but complete strangers.   

If you knew Andrew, you know real love. We embraced every moment with him. My beautiful boy was deeply loved and will be forever missed.

"There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them."

There will be a celebration of life for Andrew, which will be announced once arrangements are made.
