With much sadness I wanted to say how sorry I am to Andy’s parents and sister. Although I never met you we shared in Andy’s life for a while. During that time he expressed how much he loved his family and how much you gave him. He respected his parents and really talked so fondly about you. He was always so friendly and helpful to every one in my family. We really enjoyed our time in New Orleans with Andy. It breaks my heart that he is no longer here. I hope somehow he knew down deep that a lot of people cared for him. You are in my thoughts, Katherine (Alexa’s mother).

When Andy came into my life in 2014 at UCF, I had no idea I had gained such an amazing person as a little brother in Kappa Kappa Psi, a band fraternity. It was then that I discovered Andy’s passion for music. I would ask him questions about composers, historical implications, and motivations behind pieces of music, and he always was super excited to discuss it.
But more than that, Andy was one of my best friends. After about a year, we moved in together as roommates at UCF. This was one of the best times of my college life. Laughs, pranks, and good times were rampant in the apartment. Between myself, my girlfriend Brynleigh, and Andy we made one heck of a team. We were always together, whether good or bad, during that year in the apartment. So many stories and good times were had. We become our own little family in the apartment, including Aeris.
Sam, Buddy and Sue, I am so sorry for your loss, I can only imagine what you’re going through. I pray for you all and for Andy.

Andy was my line brother in Kappa Kappa Psi, a band fraternity. I met him fall of 2014 and immediately felt comfortable around him because he always made me feel welcome and always brought a smile to my face and made me laugh. He always brightened a room when he walked in and I have so many great memories from our time together. To Andy’s family, I am so sorry for your loss. I’m praying for you all.
