In Loving Memory of Tony Andico

Hi everyone. My name is Keanu Andico, the eldest son of Tony Andico.

I am deeply saddened to share that on February 11, 2022 at 10:14 a.m. my father, Antonio Ballesteros Andico, left this Earth. He fought a hard fight in the ICU for 19 days. God decided that this was his time and relieved him from his suffering. He is now an angel in heaven and will always remain in our hearts.

If you knew my father, he was always the life of the party. He could make anyone smile and laugh with his silly jokes. Not only did his spirit light up the room, but he was also an incredibly caring and passionate person. No matter who you were, he treated you like family. He had the biggest, softest, and purest heart out of anyone. He was a man of faith. And above all, he was the best father Kainoa, Kaileia, and I could have ever asked for.

Tony Andico leaves behind his loving wife, Melanie, and his three kids -- myself, his “handsome prince” Kainoa, and his 4-year-old “princess” Kaileia. He dedicated his life to providing for our family, and he filled our lives with endless love and joy. He was a wonderful husband, father, son, uncle, brother, friend, and so much more to everyone he met.

My family is completely devastated and shocked with my father’s sudden passing. We were not prepared for this to happen. While we deeply grieve this loss, we must also face the financial burden that his sudden passing has placed on us.

On behalf of our family, I am humbly asking for donations to help us move forward. Our goal is to raise $25,000 to aid our family’s transition from a double-income household to a single-income household; from a double parent home to a single parent home. Your support will help Melanie navigate this new world in raising two kids on her own, aid Kainoa in his college ambitions, and support little Kaileia as she begins daycare. Finally, your support will help us celebrate and honor my father’s life in the way we know he would have wanted and deserves. Our family would be eternally grateful.

I hope we can all share in our happy memories of Tony, and cherish them forever. I know he is looking down at my family and telling us to stay strong.

Any donation to help my family move forward and honor my father would be sincerely appreciated during this difficult time.

Thank you so much and God bless you all.

Love,

Keanu Andico
