Andrew Durand Memorial Fund

We are raising money for Andrew Durand’s family to pay for funeral expenses and medical bills following his passing on August 31st 2022.

Andy served as a Marine in the U.S. Armed Forces and more recently as a Paramedic at Mohawk Ambulance Service at the time of his passing. We remember Andy as a skilled, compassionate and competent provider. But more importantly, we remember him as a kindhearted, goofy, and thoughtful friend. Walking into a station where Andy was on shift was filled with energy, laughter and charisma, even on the worst days. Andy helped so many people through their hardest days, and did so with a rare warmth and authenticity.

Andy fought hard to try to become the best version of himself. He had recently gotten back into making music, and was reaching out to receive help for the obstacles he was facing. Unfortunately approaching the one year anniversary of his father’s passing, Andy suffered a relapse and was airlifted from a local hospital to Albany Medical Center where he eventually passed.

Andy’s mother, Anna, is now bearing hefty medical expenses and funeral cost following Andy’s passing. Anna, who has spent countless time by Andy’s side at the ICU this week, will appreciate any help that she can receive to lay her son to rest.
