March 21, 2015 - 4 Year Anniversary

        On March 21, 2011 our whole world stopped when we found out that Andy had suddenly collapsed and passed away. However, we do find peace in the fact that he passed doing what he loved most, lifting. Andy was the type of guy who would give you the shirt off his back if needed, yet didn't take anyone's nonsense. While he spent majority of his younger years on the baseball field, he became extremely passionate about bodybuilding and his health once starting college. He was the definition of dedicated and was someone that a lot of people looked up to.
      It seems like just yesterday that I was waking up to Andy singing at the top of his lungs. His laugh and smile were contagious and something that is missed every day. Andy was a son, brother, nephew, grandson, cousin, soul mate, and best friend. Most importantly he made a lasting impact on everyone he met.
      Every anniversary and birthday family and friends gather at multiple locations to release balloons. These balloons are in memory of Andy and celebrate his short life he spent with us. Tags are attached to some of the balloons with this blog address in hopes of people finding them and visiting our page. We hope to see comments from those who have found the tags with their location to see how far the balloons have traveled. As tomorrow approaches us, its hard not to take time to think about all the memories we shared with Andy and how important and short that life really is. I am blessed to not only call Andy my brother, but also my best friend. Always and forever remembering ABO <3
