Find Peace
My dear friend Andy: I knew you for only a short time, but we quickly became close–even though I am an old guy and your step-mom’s dad, we had good times together when you visited Livermore—as a disabled Korean War vet, I shared some of your pain and wish I could have been more help to a beautiful young man—Now, the only thing we can do is to pray you are at peace and wish you the loving last journey we all must face—Vaya Con Dios, dear Andy—- Baba
My thoughts and prayers are with Stacy and all of Andrew’s family during this very difficult time.

Stacy my heart breaks for you and Abbi!! My thoughts and prayers are with you all ALWAYS!! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP MAMA!! ALL MY LOVE, TANYA
My prayers for you and your family are daily being uplifted. There simply are no words to ‘make you just be able to blink and this nightmare go away’ BUT GOD can grant you peace minute by minute and the strength to endure what lies ahead. You have family and work family that loves and cares for you very much. Reach out at any time.. Andrew has his peace now with his loving father and will forever look down and be a guardian angel to you and Abbi.
Andy you are so loved. Your laughter, humor, and kindness touched so many who will never feel complete without you. I can see you laughing it up in Heaven, hiking to your heart’s content.

I worked with Andy and he trained me while in customer service. I quickly learned what a calm and gentle person Andy was. We both talked about our love for the band, Muse. He was preparing a trip to Vegas to go see them! I liked him from that moment on. You will be missed Andy.
Andy you will be truly missed. Working with you was truly a blessing. You will not be forgotten. He would do anything for any one. Rest in peace
I worked with Andy for about two years and it was a great time getting to know him. Our team was like family while at work. You will be missed by your work family. Sending my condolences to your Friends and Family. Love you Andy…..
Andy was humble, kind, and had a terrific sense of humor. I will never forget him, and will miss him dearly.
I worked with Andy at New Directions. Andy you are truly going to be missed. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to get to know you. You are such a blessing to everyone you came in contact with. Rest well my friend.
Andy leaves behind a void that is hard to fill. Such an infectious smile, kind, and devoted to his family. I have the privilege of knowing Andy through work, but also as a friend. I am honored to be among those who knew him. My heart goes out to Stacy and Abbi during this time. May you find comfort in knowing that you are part of his beautiful legacy.
The Edwards family wishes your family the best during this time of sadness. Andy was a great person who grew in to an incredible man. I will never forget how much Andy made me laugh the last time I saw him. Our thoughts are with you all.
My sweet Andy, there are no words to describe the tremendous amount of sorrow left by your absence. My heart is heavy with grief to have lost such a sweet , kind humble, gentle spirited friend. You are truly loved and will be truly missed.
Great person with a big heart, a blessing to be around and meant so much too many people.To the Family keep his memory alive smile when you think of such a real good guy. You will be missed my friend. Rest well!
I honestly don’t know what to say. I am so incredibly sorry and words just can not express the feelings. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
If it wasn’t for Andy…
When we first met, I was taking a college alegebra class that I was failing miserably. Andy sat right behind me at the time and listened to my daily struggles as I attempted to learn this stuff. One day he turned around and told me that he may be able to help. Needless to say I passed that class and the one after it. He was always willing, no matter what to help me. He never got mad or lost his patience when I didn’t get it. Andy was truly one of the kindest men I have ever come to know. I am proud and honored to have counted him as my friend. Rest well my friend, I hope you are finally at peace.
Thinking of you Suzanne, Stacy, and Abbi during this sad time. Our love and prayers for the entire family!!
Our prayers are sent to you as we know there just aren’t any words for right now. In memory of Andrew Mead.
May Andy’s memory be a blessing to the family and all that knew him.
May you find strength!
Sweet soul, you had done more than you could give, you were far more beautiful than you made out. You inspired, encouraged and loved. In everyone’s heart you will be forever missed.
