Andy Nesbit Memorial

This one is hard to write.

My name is Kelly Nesbit, and my husband's brother, Andy, was killed in a car accident on January 4th, 2017.  He was 30 years old.

We will miss him terribly. This family has lost his mother, Karen, his sister Trisha, his niece Jasmine, and now Andy, in 3 years. It is devastating to have your family ripped in half. I hope anyone touched by this story is reminded to cherish their loved ones. It's the best thing we've got.

If you knew Andy, you'd know he had an unforgettable personality. His presence was boisterous and full of humor. Never been fishing with anyone quite like him, guaranteed laughter on a boat with Andy.

He often found creative solutions to the challenges he set up for himself, which were many and wide-ranging. He was generous, and enjoyed using his skills to help people. Whether it was making mechanical repairs, or tending the land, Andy was eager to help.

Part of Andy's tender nature was his affection for children and animals, and couldn't resist taking in a stray.  He also loved music, and was trained as a drummer. Just last week he was showing our toddler how to play her drum.

We are asking for contributions to cover his funeral and burial services. Just over a year ago we came to you to ask for help for his sister and niece. Your generosity and compassion helped us heal in a very difficult year, thank you.

I am sorry to ask for your help again, it is beyond comprehension that this has happened. We are grateful for any donations you are able to give, and will know that it came from your heart.

Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your love.
