I’m sorry to share that on Friday, August 15th, our dear brother, loving husband to Lynn, devoted father, and cherished grandfather, Andy “Titch” Jones, peacefully passed away after a brief but brave battle with cancer. He was only 56 years old.
Andy’s diagnosis came as a shock to all of us just four short weeks ago. Despite the suddenness of his illness, he faced it with remarkable courage and grace, always keeping a sense of humor and calm that comforted those around him. Thankfully, his family was able to be by his side during this difficult time, sharing moments of love, laughter, and togetherness in his final days.
Andy was many things to many people. To his wife Lynn, he was a partner, confidant, and best friend. To his children, he was a guiding light, a source of wisdom, and a safe harbor in life’s storms. To his grandchildren, he was a storyteller, a playmate, and a role model whose love was felt in every hug and every shared smile. And to his friends and extended family, he was known for his generosity, his kindness, and his ability to make everyone feel seen and valued.
In his 56 years, Andy touched countless lives with his warmth, humor, and unwavering support. He had a unique way of lifting people up, whether through a thoughtful word, a shared joke, or simply his presence in times of need. His memory will live on not only in the stories we share but in the countless acts of love and care that he inspired in others.
As we navigate this difficult time, we find comfort in the memories we hold and the legacy of love Andy leaves behind. While his passing leaves a profound emptiness in our hearts, it also reminds us to cherish every moment, to express love openly, and to be present with those who matter most.
We will share funeral details as soon as they are arranged so that anyone wishing to pay their respects can join us in honoring Andy’s life. For those who knew him, whether for a lifetime or a brief encounter, we hope you will remember the joy, laughter, and love he brought into the world.
In the coming days, we invite family, friends, and all whose lives Andy touched to reflect on the ways he made a difference, to share your memories, and to celebrate the extraordinary life of a man who will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
Though words cannot capture the depth of our loss, we hold onto the warmth of his love and the light of his spirit. Andy “Titch” Jones will be dearly missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished.
