Andrew Pike Obituary
Born in Maine on August 14, 1993, Andy was in foster care since the age of three, his mother having died of alcohol and drug related causes. Everyone Andy met was an instant relative. He desperately sought validation, love, companionship, and friendship each day of his life, yet many times felt depressed, alone and lonely. Andy was in the Class of 2010 at Manchester West High School where he played football. He loved music and cars and hoped to begin automotive training this fall.
He is survived by his father, Gregory Barrett of Manchester; his aunt Monica Barrett-Ford of Edgewater, MD; and his cousins Erin and Christopher Ford of MD.
In Andy's memory please consider being a mentor to "at risk" youth and be proactive to advocate for better mental health solutions throughout our society. Remember to hug your children often and tell them how much you love them.
A graveside memorial service is scheduled for later this summer at St. Joseph Cemetery in Bedford. Phaneuf Funeral Homes and Crematorium, Manchester, is in charge of arrangements. To view Andy's online tribute, send condolences to the family, or for more information, visit www.phaneuf.net.

I never knew Andy, but for all the young folks today I pray that as a whole we can come together and take care of our children. My heart breaks every day reading about the mental illness that is killing our youth in our country. My promise to you, Andy, as an AA member, will be to continue to help with outreach for anyone who is struggling with addiction. God Bless You and your family.

I am so appreciative of whomever wrote this open and honest obituary as it brings to light the failures of our systems (mental health and child welfare). I wish I had known you Andy, I wish I could have been a support for you, and I hope you are now at peace. As a foster and adoptive parents it breaks my heart that he entered foster care at 3 and died feeling alone, we have to do better. We must keep fighting for improvements to help children and families in need. RIP...
