Support for Kathy, Antonio & Arabella After Andrew’s Passing
On March 20, 2025, we suddenly and unexpectedly lost Andrew while he was on vacation with his family. His passing has left an unimaginable void in the lives of those who loved him. He leaves behind his loving wife, Kathy, and their two young children, Antonio and Arabella.
Our hearts are broken by this devastating loss. As the sole financial provider for his family, Andrew’s sudden passing not only leaves Kathy and the children grappling with profound grief but also facing an uncertain financial future.
As we mourn, we are also focused on supporting Kathy and the children in any way we can. Any contributions will help give Kathy the time and space she needs to adjust to their new circumstances and ensure that Antonio and Arabella have the stability and support they need during this incredibly difficult time.
We are deeply grateful for any support you can offer.
About Andrew
Andrew was a passionate and adventurous soul. When he committed to something—a project, an idea, a club—he poured himself into it wholeheartedly. He loved politics and would eagerly debate different issues, always seeking to understand new perspectives. A voracious reader, he devoured thick books on history and even tried his hand at writing short stories. He was also ambitious—at one point, he pursued acting, performing in plays, independent films, and even a commercial.
Travel was a defining thread in Andrew’s life. From childhood road trips in the back of our parents’ station wagon to his solo adventures across the globe, he was always eager to explore. He visited five continents, and if given more time, he surely would have made it to Australia—though never Antarctica (too cold, he’d say). His journeys took him to Cuba and Spain, where he connected with his parents’ and grandparents’ homelands, to backpacking through South America and Europe, exploring Egypt, and even living and working in China for a year. It was during his time in China, exploring Asia, that he met the love of his life, Kathy.
Together, Andrew and Kathy built a beautiful life, moving from New Jersey to Nevada, where they were raising their wonderful family.
Antonio is a curious and imaginative third grader who loves LEGOs, coloring, and Toy Story. He and Andrew shared a special bond over monster truck shows and Mario Kart battles.
Arabella, at just a year and a half, has an infectious laugh and a love for baby dolls. Andrew adored singing to her and always made sure to sneak in extra snuggles before heading off to work.
Though Andrew’s passing leaves an unfillable space in our hearts, we hope to honor his memory by ensuring his family is cared for and supported in the days ahead.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and love. ❤️
