This man was my father and undoubtedly my best friend. While I miss  him dearly, I know that there are others still hurting more than I am.  I want everyone who was as close to him as I was to know that I have tried each and everyday to move on but 1 piece of not just my heart, but 1 piece of me has sadly passed on with him. Always know that it’s okay to mourn but the only way for you to heal, is for you to mourn properly. Remember to give your heart some time to recover and never to rush the way you process this unfortunate event.

                                           
                                   Yours Truly,
                                    Kaylee Samantha Sharrock
 

Andrew! I miss the fact we can’t hug, fight, argue or just have fun. I miss you and will think of you each year, on this day, your birthday! (24/12)! I wish you were here for me to shoot you with my toy bow n arrow! Xx

Happy birthday to you merry Christmas the kids and I miss you RIP sweet Angel

Happy 50th birthday Andrew. Your children love and miss you so much. I  pray that you are resting peacefully and in God's warm arms. We will always celebrate your life and the joy that you brought to your children,s life. God bless you always.

12 months have passed. Sure you would of laughed at the madness of the world at the moment. Miss you brother xx

Thank you for loving us all; we love you too. 

 Missing you calling me out mate! It’s not getting easier! X

Well we both made it passed the age of 25 we thought we never would when we were 17. We had the best days ever growing up together and loads of great memories that I can't share on here but will always keep with me.
Rest in peace my old friend x 

Andrew was my cousin, his dad being my mum's brother. He was always a cheeky chap and always made you laugh.. except this one time. I, at the age of around 5 or 6, had a toy bow and arrow. I remember I pointed it at Andrew and fired.. it was only a toy so no real danger or malice in my actions. Upon hitting Andrew, he jumped up, snatched the bow from my hands and snapped it in half. I was so angry I launched my self at him and punched him in the face. This started a five minute row of screaming and shouting after which all was forgotten and I followed Andrew, his brother Peter and my brother Gareth down to the local river and watched them fish for the rest of the day. I never liked fishing much but I'd give anything g to watch him once more. Hell, I'd even settle for punching him again if I could.  I was so inspired when he left our little town to go to the US. I think it's one of the reasons I left home although I stayed in this country,(I am not getting on a plane!). We hadn't seen each other for years Andy, but I know I'll miss you.. fly high cousin. x

Andrew was such an amazing father and devoted husband.  I was blessed to have him and Jodi in my life and to have spent all the time that I did with all of their children over the years.  I got to witness the beautiful love story they shared first hand.  I watched the gleam in his eyes when it came to any of the children and Jodi.  He would have done anything for them.   He loved them all with his heart and soul.      

He loved to share his experiences and there was never a dull moment with him.    With that many children how could there be a dull moment?  But all the stories weren't to do with the children, even though they left him with enough to talk about as children do:).  Many stories were work or travel related and he would tell them several times.  Even if you let him know you had heard it before; he would just smile and carry on....basically, you were about to hear it again.  What I wouldn't give to hear one of those stories again...even the chiquita banana one. 

 He truly lived life!  He enjoyed life!  He, Jodi and the children shared some amazing experiences and they always made time for each other.    It's a great example for any of us.  So, Andrew you will be so missed.  I miss your smile and the spark in your eye.  Your time was cut way to short on this earth.   Until we meet again, I promise to be there for Jodi and the kids.   Love, Marilyn

Mr darling brother Andrew, my "pea twin"
I have a treasure chest of memories that I will carry with me forever, we were going to do Machu Piccu together, we never got to do it, but one day, I WILL do it (pinky promise) and I know that you will be right there, beside me, when I do.
You will be with me, always.

The world lost a Great Man! Over the past 15 years we went from co workers to friends. You were always there for me no matter what. You helped me learn how to be comfortable with myself and not care what others thought. There are not enough word to Express how much I will miss our talks. We were there for each other at the highest high and the lowest low. I will continue to pray for your heart beats as I always have. Love you Friend! P.S. I promise to sing along with every song "The Fray" Has and will ever make.

My heart is broken, God bless, Mum X

So many great memories of the good old days with Andy and the rest of the crowd at Wetton Mill and the Black Lion in Butterton. Lots of singing, lots of beer. They were good times. Sorry you had to leave us so soon. Rest in peace Andy.

Andy was always the hardest worker in the room. I hired him as a valet parker in Clearwater, FL on a referral from Edward Allingham when he first arrived to the U.S. in the early 90’s. I don’t think he knew too many people yet but was quickly a part of our work and after work fun group. One of my fondest memories was when we all decided to drive to New Orleans for Mardi Gras at an after hours bar and I am certain Andy had the time of his life, I know I did. Reconnecting with him on Facebook was such an inspiring time, getting to see Andy progress with his family and career travels all over the world. I like to think that our team of misfit valets somehow contributed to his success in the U.S.  Prayers to his family and friends!  He will always be remembered as a stand up guy with a hilarious sense of humor. RIP, my friend. 

Bye bye Andrew you been here and now you are gone too soon may your soul rest in peace. You're gone but will never be forgotten, God be with you until we meet again. Thank you for been a part of my life  

For the family of my friend Andrew,  my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.  Rest in peace my friend.

More than a co-worker a  wonderful friend. You always brightened up the office with your stories of your travels. I lived a little vicariously thru you.  The stories of your youth were interesting,  sometimes a little scary but always funny. You always had a way to make people laugh. I will truly miss your smile and stories. 

Andrew was my neighbor for a few short years in Riverview. I was really amazed at his craftsmanship. He built a great sundeck over his pool and added a door from his bedroom. He also created an amazing iron staircase railing from a spare parts list. He also rebuilt a landrover that just didnt seem possible. Andrew was a truly gifted visionary. We crossed paths a few years ago and then again recently on FB. We were suppost to meet a few weeks ago to talk about his car. I had to reschedule and had penciled him in for tomorrow July 7th. His passing just hits so hard because we have to cherish the times and friendships we make. We must make every effort to forgive any grudges and strengthen our relationships because tomorrow is not promised. Regret is a long and bitter pill that no one should have to endure. We shared many laughs and I am so sad I missed an opportunity to reunite with an old friend. Rest easy Andrew. Prayers of peace for his wife and family.

Many fond memories of Andy who I knew  whilst living in Leek, always remembered as funny, but also kind and very genuine. Happy times and he will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by all those who knew him....

Andrew I’m going to miss you buddy I’ll never forget all the fun we had and you making fun of me eating  my steak well done with ketchup I’m still going to do that by the way and you were the only one that help me move when we was moving in a new house I’ll never forget that thanks for being a great friend rest in peace I will miss you

Great memories of spending time together in Leek. Young love. First love. So sad. Xx


I was lucky to call you my co-worker.  But the greater blessing was to call you my friend.  You always had such a wonderful view of life; a unique wisdom.  Thank you for sharing both with me.  You will be greatly missed my friend.  

Oh Sharrock, I cannot believe you are gone! i am so sad.  Adrian  and I are without words and will miss you terribly.  We all worked together at Medley Communications and you quickly were a supervisor and in the office with me driving Adrian insane, I always considered you my work husband, we argued about everything and Adrian had to break the argument up, but we would just laugh and tell him he was crazy.  Sharrock you had a heart of gold!  We love you like a brother and will miss you.  RIP sir!!  

We were very sad to hear of Andy's death.  We remember him as being a very good friend to our son in their schooldays, and their youthful holiday photo is still on our study wall.  Our thoughts are with his family and friends, with deepest condolences from us both.
Rest in peace, Andy.
Margaret and Peter Grant

Andy and I were at school together and close at Leek high school, especially outside of school hours when we would head out into the woods and hills to explore, make fires to cook sausages and get up to no good. He was always happier outside of school; wonderfully intelligent but in a worldly-wise way, destined to be successful and happy ...but definitely on his own terms. I cannot believe you are gone and am deeply saddened and my heart goes out to everyone who knew him, but, especially his family xxxx

Rest well. My condolences to your family. 

Thank you Andrew for always being a friend. I appreciate everything you ever helped me to learn and understand. I will miss you my friend. 

Fond memories of school days at Leek High , always upto to something and talking . Taken far too soon . RIP x

Great memories of our time at school together. Rest in Peace Mr Sharrock old friend  x

Didn’t know you for long enough, Andy, but miss you already.  A friend from the start, and for always.  Rest easy, Mr S xxx

I remember the first time Our family meet you in 2002 a good man, your next door neighbor the Caldwell Family RIP Andrew.

Thank you for sharing your love with us and being a father figure to my children, while their father was at war.  You showed us that love has no boundaries, now rest in love!
