My brother, my neighbor, my friend... I will carry your memory and spirit with me forever. Your friendship meant so much to me growing up.
I will always remember Andrew running and laughing and playing in the yard. New Year’s Eves where we stayed up watching the Twilight Zone marathon and birthday parties where he lit up the room with joy.
I hope he is reunited with his Pops and his kitty and never feeling any pain. Rest in peace and power, my bro. Love you, Nancy.

Ponte had a smile for anyone and never failed to make me laugh. He was kind hearted and full of personality. He was always ready for a fun time and I will never forget our memories together.

Andrew always had a smile on. Since he was a small boy he was always jovial. I loved hearing about basketball and anything else he was interested in. He was a kind soul and I can’t believe he is gone. There is another angel in heaven to watch over all who had the pleasure to know him. He will be missed and never forgotten.

Dear Friend, I will miss you everyday. You will Always be in my thoughts and prayers. Our friendship was one I never expected. I wish we had more time but am grateful for the time we had. You turned small talk into real conversations. You made life lighter.You made me see humor in chaos. It's hard to let go of a friendship like that. You mattered. And the love for you doesn't end just because time did. I'll carry that with me always. Much love my friend, Mary and dirty cat Clara.

My husband Jared and I were good friends with Andrew during high school and were so devastated to hear about Andrew’s passing. Andrew used to always joke around saying that Jared and I were so close we should get married after high school…fifteen years after graduation we reconnected and got married but I wish we had the chance to tell Andrew. Sending our condolences to all Andrew’s family and friends he will be truly missed.

The world has taken you too soon my friend my brother, my family. You were a older brother that I never had Andrew, you would always keep an eye over my shoulder, telling Stories at the table and making people laugh and smile. I’m going to miss our arcade runs, jamming on street fighter and racing on those Japanese racing games. Most importantly I appreciate you being there for me when I needed you, you are a true friend Andrew and i am going to miss the good times we shared. Rest in paradise brother!

Andrew you were larger than life. I think you had more charisma than anyone I know. I remember plenty of times we got into some situations together and had some close calls, but things would always end up working out okay. I wish I had reached out more often and seen you again sooner than the last time. We had some really good times, you would always put together some crazy stuff in the kitchen and always crack me up. I'll always remember all the laughs we had together. I'll miss you bro.

Some friends arent just friends they become your chosen family. Theyre the one who stand by your side when the world feels heavy, who laugh with you, cry with you, and lift you higher when your down. Its not not about blood but about loyalty trst and love. You were my chosen family , you were like a son to me , you were my best friend , my aide. you brought life and light and laughter to all you met and to all you know and to everyone who ever met you. you will always be on my mind and in my heart.life will not be the same without you buddy.

Although I can’t attend cause I live in another state now , I am glad to have seen Andrew back in 2024, he was the life of the party, it made my heart shattered and eyes a bit teary, getting a txt later in the day he past. There will be days out of the blue, u will pop on my mind. Your legacy will live on.
