Andy, known for his unwavering spirit and advocacy, is currently on life support, giving the ultimate gift of organ donation as his final act of selflessness.
Andy’s passing has left his family, friends, and the entire CF community heartbroken. His wife and two children face an unimaginable loss, and the ripple effect of his absence will be felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
For years, Andy was more than just a member of the CF community—he was a beacon of hope and resilience. Living with cystic fibrosis, a disease that is relentless in its challenges, Andy defied the odds every day. He was a warrior who not only faced the physical toll of CF but also spoke openly about the mental health struggles it brings, inspiring countless others to keep fighting.
In a powerful post he shared the day after Christmas, Andy reflected on life’s challenges and the importance of perspective. His words resonated deeply with many, becoming a guiding mantra for those facing adversity.

Andy’s friend, Shira, shared an update from the family, expressing gratitude for the outpouring of support during this difficult time. She emphasized that Andy is still alive on life support, with his family honoring his wish to become an organ donor. This act epitomizes the selflessness that defined Andy’s life—his final contribution ensuring that others might have the chance to live.
The reality of CF is harsh, and for those who battle it daily, it can be a relentless journey. Yet, Andy beat CF in every way that mattered. He defied its limitations, raising awareness, spreading positivity, and living a life full of purpose and love.
