Andrew loved to skateboard and play guitar. He was rarely went anywhere without his board or guitar. He was quiet but opinionated. He was head strong and caring. He loved teaching his younger brother Adam all that he knew about sports and cars. His passion was cars. He would work on his car then sit in it and fall asleep. He described it as his favorite place to be. He loved driving to Angeles Crest. I loved to ride with him even though I didn’t do it often. Andrew shared his deepest thoughts while driving or after long drives. I miss that time with him. He was so at peace in the car. He could spend the entire day under his car. He also loved go carting. He was really good at it to. His favorite places to go cart were in Washington. I can still see him working non his car the last weekend he came home.  

My beautiful 2nd born with a heart that carried so much for other people. He was loyal and proud. He was a trickster and quiet until he got out his guitar. He loved skate boarding, snowboarding ,football, playing basketball, hiking and night drives on windy roads. He was my race car driver and mechanic. He was a poet, musician and Oreo ice cream  guy. He was complicated and simple. He wore his black and white converse and 3 button black collar shirt with his jeans.  He wouldn’t spend time in a mall if he could be out slide, driving or tinkering on a car. He was a beautiful soul that would go out of his way to do anything for you. He didn’t ask for anything in return. If you were a friend he would always come through for you. He was a deep thinker- things were very black and white for him. He loved his brothers Anthony and Adam. He was loved by so many! He is missed so much. I know that Andrew over Jesus and I will see him again . He was one of my three hearts that walked around on the outside of my body. I love you Andy!

I miss his steady presence. I miss listening to him play guitar. I miss hearing his voice. I miss the music he liked to listen to. He listened to all genres and lived some Motown. He was an old soul.
