Hello everyone, my name is Mason Bowes and I'm a close friend of Andy's. At the Syverson family's request, I've established this GoFundMe to help cover the costs associated with Andy's funeral and related expenses.

Andy sadly passed away on December 14th. As you all know, he was a loving person with a beautiful soul. He loved his family and was a big movie buff. If you can assist the family with the upcoming arrangements it would be most appreciated. Please express your love and support for the family and also share your favorite memories of Andy.

I met Andy at Queen Creek highschool back in 2006. I was new to the area and he became one of the first friends I made in my new home town. It was comforting to have someone I knew to eat lunch with everyday. We bonded over our mutual love of movies and video games. He introduced me to Guitar Hero and impressed me with his passion for the Monopoly board game. Back in highschool I had monthly LAN parties at my house with a bunch of friends. He and his brother Chris were usually found there among the pizza, laughter, and trash-talking. Those are some of my most cherished memories and I'm so grateful he was there to share them. Our lives diverged after highschool but we still remained good friends and continued to talk regularly. He was one of nicest people I've ever met and I wish more people could have gotten to know him. Thanks for the good times, man. You will be sincerely missed.
