Andy Fon-Koh

Andy lived a life that, though only 18 years long, touched countless hearts. He was a beloved grandson, son, brother and his sister’s best friend, nephew, cousin, role model, and friend whose presence brought joy, comfort, and laughter to everyone who knew him.

Andy was known for his kind spirit, gentle nature, and remarkable intelligence. Respectful, calm, and always willing to lend a helping hand, he carried himself with a maturity far beyond his years. In fact, he was affectionately nicknamed “Pa”, because he was truly an old soul from a very young age. To his younger cousins, he was more than family- he was someone they admired, looked up to, and hoped to emulate.

A proud graduate of Blair High School, Andy excelled both in the classroom and on the field. He participated in football and track while achieving exceptional academic success, earning perfect scores and receiving full academic scholarships to attend Salisbury University’s Perdue School of Business. His future was bright, and he approached every opportunity with determination and purpose.

Andy enjoyed many of life's simple pleasures. He loved good food, especially ribs, and his loud, unforgettable laugh could fill a room and bring smiles to those around him. He had a passion for dressing well and appreciated the finer things in life. He loved animé, video games, and made countless TikTok videos he never posted. More recently, he discovered a love for fishing and crabbing, activities that brought him peace and happiness.

What people will remember most about Andy is how he made them feel. He was thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely cared about others. Whether family, friend, teammate, classmate, or neighbor, everyone who crossed paths with Andy felt good knowing him.

Though Andy's time with us was far too short, he showed us that character is measured not by the number of years we live, but by the kindness, respect, and love we share with others. His laughter, wisdom, and gentle spirit will remain in our hearts always. His memory will live on in the stories we share and in the countless lives he touched.

While we grieve his absence, we find comfort in knowing that he is resting peacefully in God's loving arms. We are grateful for the blessing of having had Andy in our lives and trust that we will see him again in God's eternal kingdom. Until that day, we will carry his love, his example, and his memory in our hearts.

Andy was deeply loved, and he will be deeply missed, but never forgotten..

My whole life, I questioned whether God was real. I never truly stood on either side. The day you died was the day I thought there couldn’t be one. I only ever had one wish: that you would live a long, beautiful life. I wanted to take every hardship, every pain, every burden this world had to offer so that you wouldn’t have to carry it. You were everything I was not. Confident where I was afraid, strong where I struggled, kind when the world gave you every reason not to be. You had a way of making life seem simpler, of reminding me that things would be okay when I could not believe it myself. No matter how lost I felt, your humor, your kindness, and your love always gave me a reason to keep going. How could a God take such a beautiful soul from a world that needed one so badly? I don’t know. But if there is a God, perhaps he saw what all of us saw—that your soul was too good for the pain of this world and deserved something greater. Maybe you were placed here for a reason I will never fully understand. Maybe you were here to teach me kindness, courage, and love. Maybe you were here to help me survive the years when I didn’t know how to keep going on my own. I don’t know if there is a God. But I know this: if there are angels, I was lucky enough to spend my life with one. I love you, and I always will.
