IN LOVING MEMORY OF ANDREW SWINDLE
With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we honor the life and memory of Andrew Swindle, a beloved son, brother, friend, and member of the community, who has passed away far too soon. Andrew’s departure has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him, but his spirit, kindness, and the impact he made will remain with us always.
A Life Remembered
Andrew was a person who brought warmth and light into the lives of others without ever needing to try. Whether you knew him briefly or for a lifetime, you likely remember his warm smile, thoughtful nature, and the calm strength he carried with him. He was the kind of person who made you feel at ease—a listener, a giver, and a steady presence in a world often full of uncertainty.
He had a rare gift for making people feel seen, heard, and valued. Andrew showed up—for his family, for his friends, and for anyone who needed help. He had a heart that gave freely, and a sense of loyalty that never wavered. To know Andrew was to know compassion, humility, and quiet strength.
Cherished by All Who Knew Him
Andrew’s love for his family was deep and unwavering. He was a devoted son and a loyal sibling, always placing family first and offering support whenever it was needed. His friends describe him as someone who could be counted on at any hour, someone who gave his time and energy without expecting anything in return.
Whether it was through simple acts of kindness or thoughtful conversations that stuck with you long after they ended, Andrew had a way of making lasting impressions. He wasn’t loud or flashy—he didn’t need to be. His sincerity and gentle soul spoke volumes.
A Life of Quiet Impact
Andrew’s passions—whether in work, hobbies, or community involvement—reflected the kind of person he was: genuine, reliable, and driven not by recognition, but by a desire to do good and help others. He had a curious mind and a generous spirit, and he found joy in sharing his knowledge, lending a hand, and making others feel they belonged.
He believed in doing things the right way, even when it wasn’t the easy way. He approached life with integrity, kindness, and a quiet determination. Though he may not have sought accolades, the people who knew him best will tell you: Andrew made a difference in this world—one person, one act of kindness at a time.
Saying Goodbye, Holding On
Losing Andrew is a pain that cannot be described in words. The grief is deep, the sorrow sharp, and the silence left in his absence is profound. But even in this pain, there is a strong sense of gratitude—for having known him, for having loved him, and for being loved by him in return.
Plans for a memorial service to honor Andrew’s life will be announced in the coming days, and all who wish to pay their respects and celebrate his memory will be welcome.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Andrew’s name to a local mental health foundation or charity that serves others—reflecting his generous heart and lifelong commitment to helping those in need.
