got to know this youngman's parents and watched him on the soccer field when he played with my nephews Tyrone &TJ. I am so very sorry for the loss of a shining light in the community. My heart breaks for you all. Hopefully, the love you shared with him can carry you through this very dark time. Stay strong and know that our Lord and Savior can help.

Andy,
Thank you for all of the memories that you have given me. As your cousin we got to spend time together doing nothing at all or everything we possibly could. I had the privilege of standing side by side with you on the battlefield. To us at the time the battlefield was a soccer field. Together on that field we were unstoppable. When we played against each other we brought out the best in each other. I want to thank you for being a shining light in a dark world. You will be missed greatly, but the memories of you will last forever.

Dear Chavez Family,
Wanted to share:
Flora had invited us to JJ's bday party awhile back. Andy and his family were also there. This was the only time we had met Andy, however this chance meeting impacted my 9 year old daughter then and now as she observed his "cute little boy" and Andy "being a good, fun dad who played games with us and gave JJ a good birthday spanking". Her heart was sad to hear of his passing and cried when thinking about his children. Strange because she only met him for one moment in time yet he made an impact.
Our family is praying for your family.
