Thank you for the example of faith and strength.
We will see you in Illinois.

The past week has impacted my life in so many ways. A piece of my heart is missing and there is no way to describe the pain. To be with you until you took your last breath is a moment that I will never forget. To be able to share in your love and in your last words has been a blessing. You melted my heart when you introduced me as you sister from Chicago, and when you held me and told me that you loved me. The love that I have witnessed in the past week has been amazing. There have been significant memories of your final journey that have made such an impact on my life. The love that you had in you heart for your wife was amazing all the way up until your final breath that seemed to whisper I love you.I can not express how fortunate I am to have been able to share in all that love. I will deeply miss your caring ways, like how you were always so concerned on how I was when you would tell me news that had a big impact on your life. I will cherish all of the time that we spent together and all of the wonderful memories that we have created. I will never let my babies forget you and how much of a special uncle they had.I will help Amy share wonderful stories of you to your babies and let them know that their daddy was an unbelievable person with great strength.My love and support for Amy and you babies will be unending.I love you dearly big brother, you have a piece of my heart in your hands.
Until we meet again you will be in my daily thought and prayers. I will never stop loving you and I will never stop wearing my Livestrong bracelet that you blessed! I miss you more than words can explain.

Amy, make sure you check out the piece that Chris Brewer wrote on The Paceline. It is so beautiful. He really captured what Andrew was all about. I just know you will love it.
Our family will be thinking of your family over this weekend and during the coming difficult days.

Andrew's life is the true meaning of courage, love and peace.
Blessings to all..

As everyone who knows me knows, I don't believe in God, I don't believe in heaven, I don't believe in any of it.
But missing Andrew so much makes me hope I'm wrong. Not because I care whether there is a deity or not (I don't), but because if there were an afterlife I might get to see my beloved Andrew again.
My heart is just broken. My baby brother is gone.
Andrew, thank you for the week we spent together in Seattle, which is just priceless to me. Thank you for the week in Tulsa when I stayed with you in your hospital room and we watched South Park and the Simpsons. Thank you for all the times you told me you loved me. Thank you for, as one of your last acts on this earth, bringing me back together with so many family members whom I hadn't seen in so long.
Andrew, dearest brother, you were one of the best people I ever knew. I'll never understand why this happened to you, but I'll always be grateful for the 30 years I knew you.
Godspeed, baby brother. I hope there is a heaven, because you deserve one.
There are no words I can say to ease the pain of your loss. I did not know Andrew personally, but followed his website and received updates through my sister, Alaina. Andrew's strength, courage, and love of life are truly admirable and a testament of how each of us should live our lives. Andrew was an inspiration to everyone, and a blessing to those who loved him. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless.
