Andrew VanWieren

Hi, my name is Sammie and Andrew is my younger brother. Andrew was such a light in this world and although he had his own struggles he always wore his heart on his sleeve and those of you who have known him know he expressed it in a very Andrew way. He was always so eager, curious, determined, and wouldn’t hesitate to offer a hand to anyone in need. He was an avid outdoorsman who would always enjoy the company of our dad and grandpa whether it be fishing on the water or hunting in the woods.

With an immensely heavy heart it is hard to even find words to express how deeply heartbroken our family is during this unexpectedly tragedy. With hopes to honor my brother in a way he deserves I would like to create this page for behalf of our parents and family as there is still so much to process and plan for funeral arrangements, what the next steps may be and unfortunately the costs associated with those.

I would also like to add if there is anyone reading this who is struggling please let me reassure you that YOU matter, YOUR mental health matters, YOU have a purpose in this life, YOU are loved and cared for and are deserving of all the good things that life has to offer. Bad days may be inevitable but needed in a way because when those good days happen it makes them that much sweeter.

Today we are focusing on reminiscing all of the good days, times, and memories made while we were blessed with the short amount of time we had our sweet Andrew.

We are eternally grateful for all of those who have reached out and continue to do so, so from the bottom of our hearts we thank you for taking time out of your day to read and possibly help whether it be a donation or sharing memories you have with our Andrew.❤️

I will love you forever and always buddy, I know you’re keeping grandma company until we meet again, love Sissy❤️
