My sincere condolences to Andrew’s family.
I remember Andrew fondly from grade 7&8 when we attended Holycrest Middle school together. We would walk the same route home and he often carried my books for me. A few years back we caught up to say hello on Facebook. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Rest In Peace Andrew 🙏 😇
