I've been pretty much totally disconnected socially for quite a while now so I just found out about Andrew's passing, and I am so sorry for your loss. I have such wonderful memories of bowling Saturday morning league together. And I'll never forget he took me to one of my 1st concerts & then we got to meet, get autographed (quite literally on my forehead!) & take pictures with Sum41 afterwards. He brought so much joy to so many, the world is a little colder & a lot less colorful without him. I wish it hadn't been so very long since I saw or had any communication with him, but I guess that's life. Your families will certainly be in both my mom's & my prayers. I hope you find some comfort in knowing how many people's lives he touched & how much he meant to so very many. Andrew will never- actually probably more like- COULD never be forgotten by anyone. Therefore he lives on forever in our hearts, in so very many hearts. Those we love never truly leave us...

Mike and Marlys, I was saddened to hear about the passing of Andrew. I cannot image the pain of loosing a child, but your family will be in our prayers. Hobie, Reiko, Alicia & Austin.

Andrew is my pizza brother forever! We all love him always.
    Glen Hudson, and all of NYC

Mike, Marlys, and Vita family, I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I did not get to know Andrew as an adult, but have lots of memories of him visiting and spending time in the rosterie back in the early years. My heart goes out to you all!

 Sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers go to the McConnell and Johnson Families. Andrew you will be missed, and may you Rest in Peace

Mike and Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your son. I can't even imagine your loss and grief. May God be with you.  Janet Hawkins, Travis' mom

To the McConnell family.I am so sorry over the loss of your son.May he rest in peace!!I am a neighhor of the coffee shop,I met Andrew on a handful of occasions.He was always polite.May he rest in peace!!

Thoughts and prayers to the family through this time.  Andrew was a beautiful person inside and out and now he is at peace.

I did not know Andrew, but my cousin, Heather Earnhardt did of The Wandering Goose.  The most creative, feeling, beautiful, angelic, souls are often to leave this life way too soon.  My thoughts are with all of you, his family, friends, and the Wandering Goose.

My deepest sympathies to your family. I don't know where we go after this life, but I do know that wherever Andrew is he is dancing. Love and prayers to you all.

Find a way to honor his memory, to keep his spirit in your daily life, to share his good nature.

Andrew, you brightened up the room with your contagious smile and laughter.  So many happy memories and fun times.  My heart is broken.  Blessings upon your family, may God provide His comfort and healing.  
Much Love, Wendi Edwards

My best memories with Andrew are when I would call him to listen to the advice he would give me about life. He always knew what to say. He was always a good listener and was always so loving with his words. He spoke directly from the heart. 
My deepest condolence to the family and friends. 
Forever missed.
Love always, your friend, 
Amanda Bidema.

I'm at a loss for words, he was a beautiful child and a beautiful person who added so much to everyone he touched in our lives.

I cannot find the appropriate words to convey my sadness or to ease yours. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Dear Mike and Marlys, 
May loving arms embrace you when your heart is breaking. I am deeply sorry to hear of your suffering the loss of sweet Andrew.
