AJ was one of a kind, biggest heart and a great cook. I remember growing up AJ would show up at my mom and dads house about 1030-11 o’clock at night ready to cook on the grill. He always had something to drink in the cooler and Levi garret chewing tobacco with grape bubble gum.Always a good time and good fellowship. Had the toughest jeep truck in the world. We would see him coming down the path listen to beach music. gonna miss him. fly high AJ. until we meet again

Our prayers for the entire family. AJ had a huge family of friends in this world and he will be dearly missed. We had a lot of things to talk about on our conversations and our visits when I could get home. Our many motorcycle rides, car trips and just sitting and talking, AJ would always keep you in good spirits. I have deep admiration and love for my friend.
To all the family, we are so sorry to hear of Andy’s passing. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all.
Danny, We know that heaven has welcomed a very special person. Our hearts still feel the sorrow. I am thinking of you with love and comfort as you reflect on all the memories that will now mean more than ever. May God be with you at this difficult time. Love you, Joyce and Cleo
Uncle Andy, you would have been so happy yesterday seeing all the family and friends that came to show support on your behalf. Although, it will be hard here for those that love you, it is comforting knowing the family that surrounds you now in heaven. Thanks for letting me drive your truck when I was around the age of 8 and scaring mom to death when we hit the ditch and front yard. See ya soon!
We are very sorry to learn of Andy’s passing. Our thoughts & prayers are with all of the family. AJ was always full of fun.
