He graduated from Austin High in 2002, and at the time of his death he had completed his freshman year and summer courses at Austin College in Sherman, Texas. Andrew had an amazing encyclopedic mind and a wry, penetrating view of the world. He enjoyed a diverse range of interests in the fine arts, history and science, and cared deeply about social issues. Andrew had great compassion for all. He challenged everyone including himself to examine conventional wisdom regarding social and environmental issues. Andrew was a voracious reader, always searching for insight and knowledge to understand our world and his place in making it better. A gifted self-taught guitarist, Andrew had a passion for music and his unique hometown of Austin. He was a wonderful actor who performed major parts in a number of plays with Austin High's Red Dragon Players. Offstage, he was a wickedly funny mimic. His incomparable sense of humor illuminated the lives of his family and friends of all ages, making us laugh and think at the same time. His years with us were precious, and we will miss him greatly.
