On the morning of 19th October, our family’s world was turned upside down when my much loved brother in law, Andy Paterson, suddenly and unexpectedly passed away at just 59 years old.

Andy was my sister Caron’s beloved husband and my nephew Zac’s stepdad. His sudden passing has left a huge hole in their lives and in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved him. We are all struggling to come to terms with losing him so unexpectedly.

Andy was the proud owner of Coffee on the Corner, a business that started as a dream and became a reality through his determination, hard work and belief in himself. He took the leap, went for it and gave it his all. Coffee on the Corner was so much more than a coffee shop to Andy, It was his dream and his passion. Caron has spoken about wanting to keep his legacy alive, which shows just how much it meant to him. ❤️

As Andy’s sister in law, I want to do what I can to help Caron and Zac through what is going to be an incredibly difficult time.

Losing your husband so suddenly is devastating enough without having to worry about how you are going to pay for a funeral and manage household bills. While Caron tries to process the loss of her soulmate and Zac comes to terms with losing someone so important in his life, the last thing Caron should have to face is the added stress of worrying about money.

That is why I have set up this fundraiser to help towards Andy’s funeral expenses and ease some of the financial pressure on Caron following his sudden passing.

No one expects to lose the person they love so suddenly, and no one should have to face these financial worries while grieving. I would love to take away even a small part of that burden and give Caron some breathing space to focus on herself, Zac and getting through each day as it comes.

Any donation, no matter how big or small, would mean the world to us. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser, as every little bit of support makes a difference.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has reached out, sent messages, shared memories of Andy or offered support to our family. Your kindness means more than you know during this heartbreaking time.

Andy, you will never be forgotten. Your dream lives on, and your memory will forever remain in the hearts of everyone whose lives you touched.

❤️ Forever 59. Forever loved. Rest peacefully, Andy. Until we meet again. ️
