Andrew 's Memory Wall

We encourage you to share your most beloved memories of Andrew here, so that the family and other loved ones can always see it. Share your favorite stories or comment on those shared by others.

When Andrew was just 18 or 19 and a lifeguard at the Yacht Club, he was so responsible in his pool duties and also so friendly and warm to the kids. I have several photos of him playing with my kids in the pool, allowing them to sit in his chair with his whistle, and sharing with them the many aspects of his job keeping a pool clean and safe. He was a highlight of their pool summers. We are so sorry for the loss of a wonderful, living young man.

I was a student at Tsehootsoi elementary in Fort Defiance AZ. Going to school there and seeing Mr. Lawrence everyday in the morning and after school was great. He was always encouraging and brightened my day before school began. Even in the winter time he was out in front of the school directing traffic, directing parents and knew every kids name. I never seen him down or sad. He was a good reason to get to school early and be positive before classes started. I appreciate his time he gave to us, Navajo students, and the importance of every issue a parent had. I was sad to hear he left us to early. I will always remember Mr. Lawrence and even talk about him with others and I am in 9th grade now. He was a blessing to the students and his community. God Blessed Mr. Lawrence in everything he did in school Tsehootsoi Elementary. Prayers for our bá’ólta’i (teacher).

Our hearts and prayers go out to Andrew's family. He was an amazing person. Always had a smile and kind words for everyone he met. He was a loyal, caring friend who always put others before himself. His energy and positivity brought happiness to those around him. Our son Adam and Andrew ran cross country together from middle school through high school. Both left the area for several years, but both returned in 2021, not knowing that either one had returned they had a chance meeting while at Meijer. A conversation began and a friendship was rekindled. They ran daily together and provided one another with words of support and encouragement. We will all miss Andrew so very, very much. He was a blessing in our lives and to use two of Andrew's favorite words he was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. We love you Andrew, you will forever be in our hearts and memories, rest peacefully. The Ludwigs

Sending so much love and condolences to the Lawrence Family. I agree whole-heartedly with all of these sentiments about Andrew. We were childhood friends from the neighborhood; I will never forget our carefree playful days running around Shoreham park, discovering nature, laughing, exploring the train tracks and trails at Hickory Creek, playing kick-ass music in a rock band as teenagers. Andrew was a very intuitive & talented bass player, a star athlete, and an absolute STUD who was loved & admired by so, so many people in our community. His personality, smile, and his eyes were just gorgeous. His friendship was brilliant, uplifting, and charismatic. Andrew will always live in my heart. I hold these fond memories. Sending peace and light to Andrew and to everyone here. Our love will remain strong forever.
