It is with deep heartbreak that we share the sudden and tragic passing of Andrew, who lost his life on April 7, 2026, in a kayaking accident in Louisa County, Virginia.

Andrew had just celebrated his 35th birthday last week. He was a devoted partner to Lacey and a loving father to their children, with another baby on the way. In a moment that changed everything, witnesses shared that his final act of love was in getting their son to safety.

Lacey is now facing an unimaginable reality—grieving the loss of the man she loved while caring for their three young children and preparing to welcome a new baby into the world.

This loss was sudden and unexpected, leaving their family not only heartbroken but facing the weight of everyday life without Andrew’s presence, support, and love.

We are coming together to support Lacey and her family during this incredibly difficult time. Donations will help with:

• Funeral and memorial expenses

• Daily living costs

• Supporting the children and the baby on the way

• Giving Lacey the time and stability she needs to grieve and begin to rebuild

If you are able to give, any amount will make a difference. If not, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Lacey and her children in your thoughts and prayers.

Let’s come together as a community to surround this family with love, support, and strength during a time no one should have to face alone.

He should have had so many more birthdays with his family.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
