When someone you love dies, there's a part of you that dies too! Tuesday evening, January 30th, Andy very unexpectedly passed away. Monday evening he told Sara he wasn’t feeling well and started running a fever. Sara layed in bed with Andy, cuddled up to him, and they watched a movie together. Tuesday morning Andy woke up and had lost feeling in his legs. Sara immediately rushed Andy to the ER. Many life saving measures were attempted. Many tears were shed. Many last kisses were given. And, one final breath was taken. Andy passed away from a rare complication of the strep virus. His organs all shut down. And lastly his beautiful heart stopped beating with Sara and his Mom by his side.

Andy’s family really needs our help right now. Finances are incredibly tight with funeral arrangements, a memorial, bills, loss of wages, and the everyday needs of keeping a family together. Andy was our family, and he forever ours. Family sticks together. Let’s all do this for Andy and those he loved the most!

Anything helps! We appreciate all the thoughts, prayers, stories, tributes, and just keeping Andy’s spirit alive for Sara and his kids.

Hero’s get remembered, but legends’ never die! We love you forever, #14!

I'll update Andy's service information as soon as it's finalized.
