Andrew "Andy" Joseph Yancey

Andy loved children and animals, and had a great sense of humor. Two of his greatest joys were fishing and enjoying nature in beautiful locations. He will be remembered by his many family members and friends as an exceedingly sweet and caring man with a gentle soul.

He was a kind friend to many people. He enjoyed Alabama Crimson Tide football and travel. "You will always be in our hearts, Andy."

A graduate of Enumclaw High School in Enumclaw, Washington, Andy attended the University of Hawaii before completing his undergraduate studies at Central Washington University.
