My name is Kevin Tracy, you don't know because we have never met, but i knew your son Andrew, I went to high school with him and I played football with him in middle school. I was shocked to hear from a friend of mine that he had passed. I am very sorry for your loss, he was always so full of energy and always high spirited. I am sorry that we never got the opportunity to become closer friends. He will be missed.

I just heard about Andrew and am so saddened to hear about his death. It's not fair, he was a great kid and I was fortunate to work with him at 916 Career and Tech for a quarter.

Janine, Marlin, and David
I can't begin to imagine the pain and loss you are feeling. It seems so unfair to lose your son and brother at such a young age. I know that God holds the bigger picture in His hands... someday we will understand why God took Andrew at this time. His plan is greater than our own. I pray that you will allow Him to carry you through these tough times. And I pray for your peace in this time of pain.

Dear Marlin, Janine, Matthew and David,
Andrew surely has touched our lives in a very special way. We have so many wonderful memories of him: helping us at our home, fun and invigorating fellowship about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, his sweet and innocent smile and his pure heart. We are so very thankful that Andrew impacted our lives. We will never forget him and we'll always remember him as "Nicks Buddy".
Love, Hugs and Prayers,
