I think about and pray for your family often.        

I will always remember Andy.
                        Sandy Jones

I think of Andy and your family often.  My son, Michael Morrow, felt very privileged to have had Andy in his classroom and to know his family.  Michael speaks of Andy often and of how much he means to him and how much he learned from him. Through my son, I have known how very special your son was and is.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Just wanted to let you all know just how much your precious family touched our hearts the day Andy came in to Baptist West. Our prayers began for your family at that moment. We believe that people come into our lives for a reason and Andy sure touched our hearts.May this Christmas season bring back many many fond memories of him that can be held so close to each of your hearts. Love and prayers for each of you -

Dear Dyer Family,
I do not know if you remember me. But I knew Andy from Camp Koinonia (he was highly missed at camp this week) and Challenger Sports. He was always a sweet and loving guy. He will be truly missed by every one. So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.

I remember Andy from fifth grade; I was his homeroom teacher.  I especially remember him on the bowling trip we took.  The family did so much to make his life as full as it could possibly be.  He was surrounded by love and still is.

To all of the Dyer family and friends of Andy, you are in my thoughts and prayers.  Tara, it has been a few years ago, but I remember meeting Andy at one of our dance recitals-he was our #1 supporter and so very sweet.  May your wonderful memories sustain you during this time, until you meet again.  With Love, Rachel Warren & Family

Dear Dyer Family -- I am so sorry to hear the Andy's life on this earth was so short.  I don't know if you remember me, but I used to come "pattern" Andy all those years ago.  I lost touch with your family but when I saw his smile in the paperI recognized him immediately.  In sympathy and Christian love, Linda Jaekel

Dear David and Tara,
Gayle and I were sorry to hear of Andy's passing, Dennnie Underwood told me Friday.
I looked at the photo galley and it tells a wonderful story of 18 years of loving and happiness .
We miss you guys in Maple Hollow.
Love Woody and Gayle

To David, Tara, Howard, Anna and the rest of the Dyer Family, I am very sorry for your loss.  May you find comfort and peace during this time.

Cary and the entire Dyer family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I was unable to attend but have kept all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Andy is our cousin and although we live a little ways away and because of that, haven't been able to be as close as we would like, he has always been in our prayers. His whole family are in our thoughts and prayers. We hope that Andy's happiness and sweet loving disposition will remain in your memories. We pray that soon your tears will disappear and you will be comforted by your precious memories of him and the great times you shared. 
God Bless, 
Tim, Christy &Deana

We were unable to attend the services, but know that we are, were, and will be thinking of you all each day.  Andy was so loved and his absolute love for you was evident and precious.  I will always remember his beautiful smile and gentleness.  Words cannot fully express our heartache. Prayers for you all.
 Johnny, Paige and Amber

I Worked with Andy at Karns. He was so Precious. I will never forget Him....
I'm so Sorry for Your Loss. You are Special Parents. My Prayers and Thoughts are with You.

Tara,
Mother to mother I am simply heartbroken for you. Andy was a beautiful and precious young man. I have no words to offer but my prayers are many. 
Beth Vandergriff (Josh McGill's Mother)

Dear Dyer Family,
I am so sorry about the loss of your sweet boy Andy. He was so much fun to have in our class every summer. Andy participated in activities he loved with great enthusiasm...especially eating! I loved to help him stand, he was always so affectionate. I had to laugh when he outgrew me and would still try to get on my hip...ha ha! He had the most infectious laugh and smile, he will be missed. So typical of Andy's kind heart to save lives...we are so proud of him.

David, Tara, and girls- I have many fond memories of working with Andy as well as riding the bus with him in summer school.
It won't be the same not having him to feed or hearing his beautiful sounds! For me summer school won't be the same! His smile and love will shine down on you always!

May love and peace fill each of your hearts.  Andy will be missed by all the lives he touched, what a special young man he was.

David and Tara,

We are saddened to hear of Andy's passing.  Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Dyer family,
  We have never met, but I felt like God was nudging me to send a message.  I am so sorry for your loss, I can not imagine your pain. I am praying today that God will bless you with overwhelming peace.

Dear Dyer family,
We are so sorry for your loss. We'll keep your family in our prayers. God Bless you all.

Tara and family- I am so sorry to hear  of Andy's passing.  It was an honor and a joy to work with him at Fort  Sanders when he was just 3.  
Not only were you blessed to have him as a part of your lives, but I 
too was blessed to have him as a part of my life.    May God comfort you and bless you always..                                 Ms. Cindy

David, Tara, Kaylee, and Kelsey,
I am so, so sorry for your loss.  You all are in my thoughts and prayers.  Please know that Andy has had a great influence and has been an inspiration to everyone who ever spent ANY time around him!  He will be greatly missed.  My love to you all!

Andy, I am so sorry for missing your funeral. Unfortunately, circumstances did not allow me to be there. I remember the first time we met. Your mom was so sweet to invite me over, to introduce me to your friends and family. I asked to see you.  Your mom and I came into your room and she introduced me, you smiled, and then kissed and kissed on your mom. I knew then, how much love there was in your family. I know you will meet my mom in heaven. You and her are probably running around playing football! She's LSU and you are UT! Watch out, she's a devout Catholic, so tell her your not ready to start drinking!  I love you,
Jeffery Firment and family.

Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Tara,David and family,
I had the privelege of caring for Andy on a few occasions while working for a private agency you used. Andy was a blessing to me. I loved to hear his excitement when I came through the door and he saw me. I am so sorry for your loss. 

Patti Hill Knoxville Tn.

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.  Andy was in our fifth grade Sunday School class.  He was such a joy.  He had such a wonderful smile.  We will always remember how excited he got when he would see his Mom, Dad, Kaylee, or Kelsey come to pick him up.  He dearly loved his family.  Again, we are praying for all of you.

My condolences, I worked with Andy at Fort Sanders during the summer. I called him my gentle giant. He was such a sweet sweet boy. You were so blessed. I will keep your family in my prayers during this hard time.

Dave, Tara and family, We are so very sorry for your loss.  Andy was so precious.  We are out of town and so not to be there but definitely have you in our thoughts and prayers.  Larry and Janice Kiser

You all, and especially Andy, were so courageous and he was such a sweet boy.  I'm glad he was able to participate in so much.  May good memories and knowing that we care comfort you.

Andy's Family - Andy was always my special friend when I was a teacher assistant at Karn's Elementary School. I grew to love him and would sit with him in the floor to crawl around and on me.  I really missed him when I left the school but have seen him a couple of times at football games at KHS.  I will truly miss his smile, his laugh, and his hugs. God bless your family in your time of sorrow.

To the Dyer family
I am sorry to hear about the loss of andy. He was a good kid and will be missed by many friends and family. I had the chance to meet him when i was a teacher assist at karns elementary when he was there. My prayers go out to your family.
David & Tara--My mom(vicke harness pyles) sends her thoughts and prayers to your family and she is sorry to hear about the loss of andy.

Tara, David, Kaylee, and Kelsee,
     I am so sorry for the great loss you are experiencing. I know Andy was so special to all of you. I am praying for you all through this time. I love you.

I was blessed to meet Andy in the classroom at Farragut High School, I have been a sub in Andy's class for the last 3 years.  He was such a major part of the classroom. Everybody loved Andy! Needless to say, Andy loved everybody with his hugs and kisses that he so often gave to everyone. The love and attention that your family gave Andy shone thru so clearly from the way Andy loved others! My pray for your family is to find peace from the fact that Andy is kicking it up big time in a much better place. The impact that he left on so many lives, including mine, will never be forgotten!! My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Harryette Hunter

It was my honor and privilege to help pattern Andy. You and your special family are in our prayers and thoughts. May God bless you and comfort you.
Marilyn and Mark Reda and family

Carolyn and I are saddened of the loss of Andy and will keep you in our prayers. "So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord.  For we walk by faith, not by sight.  We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord." (2 Corinthians 5:6)  May God bless.

Kelsey,
We're so sorry for your loss.  Laura always talked about how close you were with your brother.  May God's love get you thru this difficult time.
Randy and Jan Wussow

May God comfort you during this time. I was in the choir the Sunday that Andy was dedicated as a baby and remember that day very well,because of a situation in my life at the time. Your family are in  my prayers. God Be with you all. Andy is healed now and walking and singing with our Lord! 
Beth (Jackson-Dotson )Young

We are praying for all of you who are members of this wonderful family.  Andy was "Our Boy" at Wallace.  We loved having him in Worship Service with us.  And now Andy is safe in the Everlasting Arms.  God Bless You, Herb & Kathy Arnett

We are saddened by the loss of your loved one.We know you gave him absolute love and a warm and caring environment.Hopefully you will find comfort in this and may God help you to heal. 

Charlotte,Mark,& Lisa Johnson

Tara, I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Andy but I can tell from the pictures he was the light of your family’s life. I can’t express how sorry I am for your loss. May God give you peace and strength during this time of sorrow. My thoughts and prayers will be with you in the days and months to come.

I appreciated the time you spent volunteering with me at STAR on the water lines, David.  I know your heart is heavy and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I saw Andy several times at Amie and Scott's house.  I will pray for you.
Beth Staley (Amie's cousin)

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  All of us at Challenger Sports will always think of Andy with a smile.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. My son, Michael Morrow, had the privilege of being Andy's teacher this year and he spoke of him often and always with love and with admiration for Andy and his wonderful family.

Having known Andy and the Dyer family for years as he rode here at STAR, we know how loved he was by all who came in contact with him.  He will forever be our "cowboy".  My heartfelt sympathies for the family.

David and Tara -

We were living across the cul-de-sac from you when Andy was born.  We are keeping you and your girls in our thoughts and prayers.
Bob & Carolyn Calloway

My heart really goes out to your entire family. I grew up playing ball and in school a couple years ahead of Kaylee and Kelsee. The love you two had for your brother was obvious even to an acquaintance. I was never close to your family, but I sit in tears as a mother sympathizing with another for the loss of a child. I'm sure his spirit permeated through the hearts of many. The angels are singing praises one of their own is home.

Andy loved riding his horse at S.T.A.R., and I loved walking beside him.  God has welcomed him with loving arms.

My love goes out to the Dyer family. May God comfort you during this difficult time. My niece, Taryn, just loved Andy, and spoke of him often.
