I miss him every day and am always remembering the good times. He was always like a brother to me and was there for me even when it felt like the whole world was against me. He told me that I was beautiful each and every day. Rest In Peace Andrew. I love you. ❤️😭

Dear Rick, Vanessa & Nicole:
We are so so sorry for your loss.  Andrew had the sweetest smile and kindest heart.

   With a broken heart, I send my deepest condolences to Andrew’s family and friends.  
   My life was blessed by having known him when he was a little boy at Sea Wind Elementary School.  His gentle spirit and loving kindness were evident at such a young age.  He was every teacher’s dream come true.  I will forever remember Andrew, my sweet student whose smile is permanently etched in my memory.  
   May his family find peace and strength in one another, and in the blessed memories they share.

Dear Vanessa, Rick and Nicole (and Rae n Wayne)
We are so sorry for your loss, and for your heartbreak and sadness.
Please know that our love, thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love Andy, Brandon, Charlie and Eva.

I cannot truly express how much of an impression Andrew made on me in my early life leading up to my high school years. We grew apart, but I still knew him to be the golden-heart'ed person from Kindergarten. I remember the joy he has brought me and I can never and will never forget his name nor the impact he has had for me, both in the distant past and recent times. I hope that wherever he may be now, he may be at peace; I solemnly hope that  his family remembers the happiness Andrew has brought them and continues on stronger than ever.  He will never be forgotten by family and friends, and deserved nothing less than the world.
-Sincerely with heavy hearts, the Joseph, Linda, Gene, Courtney, and Taylor Haggerty

I went to Tae Kwon Do with Andrew during his training at Master Amy Reed’s. When I heard what happened, my heart dropped, because Andrew was such bright, happy, and wonderful person. He had such a unique sense of humor and everyone who knew him enjoyed being around him. My sympathies, love, and  prayers go out to his family.
