Honoring Andy's Life and Helping His Family

Donation protected
All snuggled up together while watching a family movie, Andy suffered a heart attack and did not recover. This loss is an unexpected tragedy for all those who knew and loved him. He was boisterous, full-of-life, endlessly laughed at his own jokes, and loved harder than most people do. Our hearts are broken, and Jackie and the kids are trying to navigate these difficult days, weeks, and months ahead as best as they can.

So many who knew Andy have reached out to offer condolences and support, asking how they can help as the family grieves and plans for the future. We have set up this Go Fund Me for those of you who wish to contribute to ongoing costs that Jackie and the family will incur. The last thing we want is for her to worry about these things while she grieves and continues to care for their children.

A trust has been established to support the short and long-term needs of the children. All contributions to this GoFundMe will be used to cover the family's immediate costs, and remaining funds will assist their upbringing and education.

Andy brought a light to our lives that was put out too soon. Your well wishes, thoughts, prayers, hugs, and support are appreciated more than words can express.
