I hope your gathering was full of love. I wish I could have come by for hugs but worked too late.

Andy obviously had great taste in women and he had some great kids. 

Sending much love and peace to all who loved him.

Way too many fun memories to list ! Heres a couple : 

Halloween trick or treating for shots in the girls dorm rooms …  and later  riding a motorcycle with Andy , don and Gary through campus. All four of us on one motorcycle . …   Nice 😊 

 a keg party in a park , it was sorta cold out , Andy decided to pour  gasoline on a barrel of trash and then light it ,…suddenly his head sorta disappeared in the flames ; then later reappeared with no eyelashes and no eye brows and that’s when we starting singing   “burn Andy burn , disco inferno “ 👍😆 

I can only write a teaspoon of our story at a time as I'm still quickly overcome by emotion but Andy and I met at a low point in our lives but it was the best of the worst times and then climbed from there. 

Our story begins when we met in court ordered anger management together c.2012. He'd started about 6 months after I did and we quickly connected and stayed connected ever since. Around 2014(?) he had helped a lot with my family's weed grow in Fillmore, CA. Regularly assisting on the farm and we could only pay with gas, weed and a few dollars. He was a champ to say the least. Through life's highs and lows we remained in contact and hung out together when possible until he moved to TX. 

A few months ago he'd called me, a bit drunk, and he complimented me by saying "Roland... you get me". As in I understand him and his feelings.... and I really did as he too "got" me.

I'm sorry to miss Andy's service. He was a great classmate, made Aggieland more enjoyable and the Corps experience more human. Excellent musical taste too! My his soul find eternal rest. Till we meet again, brother.
