Andrew Octavious Boyarin

It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we announce the passing of Andrew Octavious Boyarin, who left this world on June 25, 2026, at the age of 24.

Andrew was born on September 13, 2001, in Round Rock, Texas, to his loving parents, Yolanda and Uri Boyarin. From an early age, Andrew brought joy to those around him with his sense of humor and infectious laugh. Thanks to his parents, Andrew had a special love for scary movies and spending time with his grandparents and cousin Joshua. He later developed a passion for photography and media arts, drawing, and expressing himself through his artistic talents and unique perspective. It was his creativity, wit and sense of humor that left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

Above all, Andrew was a devoted husband, father, son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. He found his greatest joy in being the father of his beloved son, Hayden Boyarin. Whether spending time with Hayden and Savannah, enjoying family gatherings, or creating memories with those he loved, Andrew treasured the people closest to him.

Andrew was known for his strong work ethic and determination. Never one to shy away from hard work, he began his career in the restaurant industry and steadily worked his way up to a management role at The Heights Pizzeria and Drafthouse. His dedication, leadership, and willingness to support others earned the respect of coworkers and friends alike.

When he was not working, Andrew enjoyed hiking, playing video games, watching scary movies, creating art, and exploring his creative interests. Whether spending time outdoors, gaming with friends, or gathering with family for celebrations and food, he found joy in life's simple moments and the people he loved most.

Andrew is survived by his wife, Savannah Birchfield; his son, Hayden Boyarin; his parents, Yolanda and Uri Boyarin; his grandparents, Maria and Jesse Mace; his aunt and uncle, Belinda Richardson and David Hermosillo; his cousin and brother in heart, Joshua Bray; and many other family members and friends who will forever cherish his memory.

Though Andrew's time with us was far too brief, the love he shared and the lives he touched will remain with us always. His memory will live on in every photograph he captured, every piece of art he created, and every moment shared with those he loved.

Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of Andrew's life and celebrate the love, creativity, laughter, and strength he shared with those around him.

Visitation will be held at Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home, 1615 South Fort Hood Road, Killeen, TX 76542, on July 9, 2026, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. A Funeral Service will be held on July 10, 2026,at 11:00 AM also at Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home.

A Message of Hope

"Grief is not a sign that we are weak, it is evidence that we have loved deeply. After the loss of someone so unexpectedly, we may carry sorrow, questions, and heartache that linger long after they are gone. Yet even in our grief, love remains. We honor Andrew not by the way he left this world, but by the life he lived, the laughter he shared, the art he created, and the love he gave to his family and friends. Though his presence is gone, his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him."

Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever missed. ❤️
