Andy was a great friend of mine from Rialto High, where he performed with my group of folkloric dancers for the 5 de Mayo festivities that were such a huge deal for our school. He was always a good friend to me and to all of us in the performance group. The last conversation we had was shortly after we graduated from High School and he was telling me he was moving to Washington because he had joined the service. He had also mentioned that he had met someone special, and I'm glad to know he ended up marrying her and having a beautiful family with her too. Andy will be remembered as an honest and very humble person, always wearing a smile on his face. My condolences to his family. We will see you in heaven, Andy.

Kim- Andy was a very close friend of mine. I still think about him to this day. I Lived on the east coast and Andy and I would talk for hours . At first he was a customer and I was a vendor to him than we became very close friends. I Just moved to Bellevue about six months ago an often wonder how great it would be if he still was here. I love Andy and he loved his family. I thank GOD we had meet in person two times.

Andy-
So here I am, seven months later, still thinking about you every single day. I didn't think it would be so hard to get on this website and write something to you like I should, but amazingly enough it is. The fact that I shouldn't be writing it in the first place doesn't help much either. It still amazes me that I can think about you and have to try to hold in the tears. I still can't believe that your gone. I never could have imagined how hard it would be to walk onto a soccer field again...but I know that you would not want me to stop playing, and so I continue on. The team started playing again, and although picking a new team name was considered, we've stayed with "The Pirates." We got new uniforms too. They're green, Kim said that was your favorite color, and it seems pretty fitting if you ask me. The team has won most of their games and are doing fantastic as always. I hate myself for doing it, but every single time I walk to a game or watch a practice I expect to see you there in you cleats pushing the team (and telling Miguel "dude, just a minute") and giving them all a pep talk as if the World Cup is on the line rather then just a U8 soccer game. I wear a necklace every single day to remember you, not that I could forget. I made a shirt too...and every time someone asks about you I make sure to tell them how amazing you were, are. Your obit is on my binder too, I've made a promise to myself to always remember all the things that you have taught me. I wish I would have told you how much you inspired me, taught me. I wish wish wish more then anything that we were out playing keep away with the team after a game again; rain or shine I could always count on you to get out and play. Remember the time we were out on that field at Marshall Middle School? It was literally raining buckets as me, you, Miguel, Jesse, and Jacob played keep away for like an hour and a half. The game got over at 6 and we were out there until like seven thirty. I miss that so much. So, So, So, SO much.
So anyways, the team. I covered the new uniforms and the unchanged name. In the last game Miguel scored three times...he still hasn't gotten very good at that pass-three-times-before-you-score thing. And he's trying out for select, or at least he has been the past few days. He says he feels you every time he walks onto a field, and so do I. You did so much for him and my family, I honestly can't say enough how much that means to me.
Kim is doing amazing. She is so strong and determined to be her best. No doubt thanks to having such an amazing husband.
Jacob has gotten so agressive on the field this year. He runs just like you, and it's a bitter sweet little remembrace of you that I cherish.
Jesse is sooooo much like you. He's attacking the ball so much more now. And he looks more and more like you each day.
Alyssa is your angel. She has your demeanor and your smile and your laugh. At your service she asked if "daddy was gonna be there." You did a fantastic job with her, and I promise to take care of her the best I can.
Andy, I miss you so much. so so so so so so so so so so so so so much. And I wish I told you how much you meaned to me, and how much I love you.
See you again- soon- my (kinda) coach, friend, second dad, brother, team-mate, inspiration
All my love, and respect, and tears

Andy sorry it took me so long to write on here, but here i am, just 2 days before christmas and i miss you like crazy, there has been very few nights that i have not cried my self to sleep. i think about you every day, just wishing you were still here with us. None of this makes sense, and i know it never will. i always think about the times when i was just a little girl and i would always want to be where ever you were. When you left to Washington, i admit, i was really upset 'cause i thought my brother was leaving meand i woudnt get to see him anymore, but then i got over it and realized that you had to move on and live your life and that of course i would see you again, and im glad you did what you did, for that i have the most wonderfulest Sister-in-law anybody could have and the most amazing,smartest Niece and Nephews in the world(No affense Iris, but when your kids come, they'll be smart and amazing too:]) Kim,Jesse,Jacob & Alyssa, i love you all so much, just know that i will always be here for you, im just a phone call away, i'll see you soon...Andy i'll see you soon too My Brother, My Angel.....I LOVE YOU.....

I am Turner Akin's grandmother in Kansas City, Kansas.
I have attended the soccer games when I visited Sue, Carl & Jackie Harris and Turner last year and again this year. I attended the final soccer game and told Andy of all the coaches of any game my kids or my grandkids had....he was the best! The kids loved him, he taught them to play fair, try hard, and still have fun. His love for the kids and the game was so evident. I am so very sorry for your lose. My prayers are with you and your wonderful family. The Lord must have needed a special angel to have called Andy home so soon.

Thank you to those who shared at the service about Andy and thank you, Jesus, for giving Kim and the kids the past ten years together filled with sweetness, laughter and love.

Dear Andy,
I am so sorry for what happened to you. I wish there had been something I could have done to prevent it. I was exiting the freeway going south on I-5 @ exit 103 when the responsible vehicle entered the freeway. They almost hit me head on as I exited, and I attempted to call 911 twice. I never got through. In the morning I heard that you had died so again tried to contact the police. They finally took my statement last Tuesday, which I hope will help. I can't help but wish that I could have prevented the car from passing me onto the freeway- I would have let them hit me if I had known what the outcome was going to be. Maybe they weren't going as quickly at that point and there would have only been injuries- not a death. I can tell you were a great person. Your wife, two boys, and daughter are beautiful and I wish them all the best. I will keep you in my thoughts for the rest of my life. I'm sorry.

I will truely miss Andy and his family at our soccer games. They were almost always there. Andy was passionate about life and soccer was one way he expressed it. He always tried his hardest and encouraged the rest of us to do the same. He regularly had friends on the other teams and would joke and laugh with them. Andy would often challenge the referee on calls against him, but would later laugh and joke with the ref. I hope Jesse, Jacob, and Alyssa feel the strength of their fathers passion for life throughout their own, in their own ways. I will miss them running along the sidelines, playing with the dogs, and other kids at our games. I will miss Kim as an avid supporter of and our team. You are all wonderful people and don't deserve to lose your husband, father, and friend. May his inspiration and confidence help guide you through life.

No podria haber permanecido otro dia mas para reir, amar, trabajar o jugar. Encontre esa paz en el final del dia. Si llendome les he dejado un vacio, entonces llenenlo con recuerdos de alegria. Una amistad compartida, una risa, un beso,
estas cosas echare de menos. No se cargen con epocas de dolor. Les deseo el sol de las mañanas. Mi vida ha sida llena y he savoreado mucho de ella. Buenos amigos, buenas epocas y el contacto de un ser querido. Quizás mi tiempo aqui parecio demasiado abrevido, ahora no lo alarguen con pena indebida. Levanten sus corazones y conpartan conmigo esta alegria. Dios deseo que me fuera con El ahora, y ya soy libre."

Andy,
Wow, like they say “in the blink of an eye”. Even the past week seems like the blink of an eye.
In a letter the kids wrote they said they knew it wasn’t your fault (the accident and that you are gone). I think in time they will understand that if you could choose to go you would, but just not now, after they had made their lives, but the choice wasn’t yours.
I was thinking about what are the odds of this happening and Jose said don’t try and make sense of this because it does not make sense. There are things in this universe that we may never understand.
I prayed to know how to best help Kim and the kids and what I got was to quit crying and do a good job you know like the scout motto “to do you best”.
That helped some. I should have more faith. You know all of us will take care of Kim and the kids. I miss you. Paul

Andy was an inspiration to so many – on the soccer field and off. My son played for Coach Andy for 4 years. Cody gained the passion for playing soccer...by watching Andy enjoy every minute he taught and every minute he played the sport. Coach Andy was unique – he was able to teach each child to play the best game they could play…as a team. He taught discipline, while having fun. He taught skills, while being silly. Practices ran late and he stayed after a game to play keep-away - in the rain! That was just Andy's way. I can't imagine a soccer season without his arm over Cody's shoulder on the sideline, or the encouraging way he would direct Cody where to be on the field. Cody played hard...for Coach Andy, and he will be very much missed. Andy was a good man, a devoted husband, loving father, and great person. My thoughts and prayers are with Kim, Jesse, Jacob, Alyssa and his family during this time, and the years to come.

Mi querido Andy, te recuerdo pequeño, cuando a duo cantábamos para abuelita, había un perro que quería morderte y eras tú, que lo mordías. Tenías como 9 años. Otra vez, su tía Margarita comía carne y te dijo que se estaba comiendo a tu papá y tú decías, mira se comen a mi papá. Sentimos mucho en el alma, son cosas que Dios nos pone en el camino. Otros se van tarde, otros se van más tempranos. Los padres no queremos ver morir a nuestros hijos, siento mucho en el fondo del alma. Acabo de perder a mi esposo y se lo que se siente peder a un ser querido. Mi hermana, Cynthia que perdió a su hijo, es un dolor más grande que la pérdida de un esposo. Es un dolor que uno siente, que se cree perder la razón. Pero, como dijo Johnny, tu tío, debemos darle gracias a Dios, de poder llegar a su presencia. Es algo bello, estar con el Señor. Es duro aceptar la partida, que uno no quiere, pero debe haber resignación y en Paz con el amor de Dios, a su lado. Brilla para él la Luz perpetua. Nosotros sufrimos aquí, pero él está en calma, en paz. Nosotros sentiríamos envidia de esa paz, porque somos nosotros tenemos que salir adelante. Lo aprendí y lo acepté porque en las oraciones del Padre, yo quería conocer qué cosas nuevas el sacerdote nos iba a decir y eso me llenó de fortaleza. A veces se llora al recordar, pero le pido a mi hermana que tenga resignación. Él dio su vida por otros y todos nos llegará el momento. Solo Dios lo sabe.
Su tía Margarita dice, que sabe que él está con el Señor y con todos los seres queridos. Que es feliz y que siempre ha querido a toda la familia, especialmente a sus padres y hermanos. Se que estás en la gloria del Señor. Amén.

News of Andy being taken from us was a physically painful blow that we're at a loss to describe. Andy's dedication to his family, his wife and children were an inspiration. How he found the time to be so involved in so many different things was amazing. Among other things, he was a devoted cub scout dad and scout leader. He could always be counted on to carry more than his share of the responsibilities. If anyone has never been to a cub scout pack meeting, well, it's not for the faint-hearted (especially when it takes place at a bonfire in a downpour!) Andy's ever-present smile set the tone, no matter what the situation. Such a talented and caring person will not be forgotten. Kim, Jesse, Jacob and Alyssa and his entire family are in our prayers as they go on in this world. And we take comfort that Andy has attained eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Andy...
I'm at such a loss... I couldn't believe that accident was the one you were involved in. I got off work that night and passed it on the other side of the freeway and I thought to myself, "I hope no one was killed in that accident" because it looked so horrific. I was woken up at 1:30AM with some of the worst news I ever heard in my life. You will be sorely missed for a lifetime. Memories have been keeping my head afloat during this time. I remember years back, I think I was 12 or 13... Ivan, Edwin, and myself came down to Cali for like a month or so. I remember one night, you and Ivan snuck out to go hang out with some friends. We were all staying in your room and it woke Edwin and myself up. I was in on the help and convinced Edwin, who was like 6 or 7 that he was dreaming so you guys could get out the room so he wouldn't tattle! haha.. During that same time, you and Ivan thought it would be a great idea to shave my head! Oh man... that was hell when I got home becasue mom had a fit! Memories will hold it together for me. I'll never forget going to shoot pool, playing video games, and building computers from scratch. You were such an amazing person with the biggest, most caring heart. It's obvious from all these messages. You will be sorely missed for years to come. Your wife, my cousin Kim, and your three babies, Jesse, Jacob, and Alyssa will be well looked after and taken care of. They have been so strong through this ordeal that it shows how much of an impact you had on them. We will always be there for them no matter what for as long as we live. Andy... I love you so much and I am so happy I spoke with you 4 days prior to this accident. I will never forget your goofy chuckle and your smile. I miss you cuz. I know you're in a better place and at peace with God. May you rest in peace and I'll see you when I get there.

My prayers are with Andy's family, and I know that God has to have some very special plans in store for you all. I am glad that you have each other to lean upon during this difficult time.
I will miss Andy too, as he really was one of God's special creations.
He was not the average personality we tend to find in this day and age. He had a very kind, and loving soul; it showed in his eyes, his smile, and the way he lived his life.
I have to trust in God, that he does not give us more than what we can bear. I trust in him, that perhaps he had to call his son Andy home now; because his heart would not bear what this world had to offer. I trust he is home, and at peace; and that Heaven has a very special angel now.

After reading some of the messages, all I can say is..wasn't Andy awesome! You were so blessed to have him in your life. What a great husband and dad. Yes, I know he was more, your best friend too. I know that God will lead you through this, most of the time He will carry you, as he did me when I walked the same path many years ago. I will be praying for you and the kids. Love you, Cousin Linda

I just saw Andy a couple of weeks ago and I was talking to him on the sidelines. He was such a good player. When we played together, I could rely on him for a great pass or to be there for my assist. I'll be thinking of him every time I step on the field. I can't believe this has happened.
As a fellow soccer wife, I have seen you, Kim, at the field watching Andy play. You were out there supporting him, cheering for him, and showing him how much you loved him. Our kids played together, and I could tell they were very proud of their father out on the field. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Today I was given such terrible news, our coach Mr.D had called and given me the sad news. Last sunday was an amazing game. Andy kept telling me, " this is your game Aimee, your all over the ball". He was so encouraging, such an inspiration to us all on our co-ed soccer team. I feel incredibly lucky to had gotten the chance to have met him. I am so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your children and family. My heart aches for you. Until we all meet again...so long Andy.

Kim, we are so sorry for your loss. I wish I had the words that would help you through this terrible time. Every since your Dad called me about Andy, I haven't been able to think of anything else. I wish I had had the chance to know Andy better. The one time I did get to meet him, he seemed like a wonderful person. You and the kids are in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to play soccer these past couple of years with Andy. I will always remember his enthusiasm for the game, especially when he was playing defense and would run up the field on offense! It was wonderful to see his family at the games having a good time. My thoughts and prayers go out to Kim and his family. I am so sorry this happened to such a wonderful man, and to such a wonderful family. Andy will be missed.

Andy,
You came into our lives 11yrs ago. I knew the first time I saw you and Kim together that you would become the love of my daughter's life. In time I knew that the same was true for you. You and Kim have instilled the kind of qualities in your children that all parents should. There will always be an empty place at family gatherings, but never in our hearts. May God grant us the strength and the wisdom to fulfill your hopes and dreams for your family. Thank you for being a part of our lives. Your Mother in-law, Jackie

It is extremely hard to lose a loved one, especially one so young. Andy's life was short but he lived it so fully. The huge out pouring of concern, love, and caring towards you and the kids is proof of the impact Andy made on everyone he met. Know always that this family will stand beside you, hold you, and protect you forever. Andy's memory and legacy will never fade as you produced 3 beautiful children in his likeness. We love you sweetheart.

Andy was the best soccer coach! We all remember is huge smile as he would run onto the soccer field along with his gentle spirit. We loved the way he taught our kids! Josie ("Jo" as Andy would call her) will always remember him as the first coach who allowed her to play on an all-boy team and that he was super nice! Zion ("Z" as Andy would call him) will always remember the way Andy joked around with him on the field. Thanks Russo family for all your dedication as our coach!

I knew Andy very well he is married to my brother in-laws sister and I could remember all those nights we would go over to my sisters house and play all kinds of games til all odd hours of the night then it was all laughs and smiles when everyone was going home for the night. Andy was always there to help out at all my kids birthdays and all the family events that the families had going on. I could also remember Andy was the computer and electronics "hook up" he could get you the best stuff for so cheap everytime and he would be so excited to build computers and chip playstations and so on... He had to be the best father there is to his kids I have ever seen. Andy loved soccer almost everytime I would see him he had some soccer shirt on or had his soccer shoes or his gaurds on he had soccer in his blood 24-7 even in his sleep he was playing soccer. I also remember all the times kenny would call me and say "hey you gotta get this new game out so you can play online with me and Andy!" or when id see Andy over at kenny and janna's he would tell me the same thing. Im gonna miss you a ton man and you will never be forgotten you were a great friend and a great member of our family we love you and are gonna miss you so much.
see you when I get there.

Andy was my grandson’s soccer coach. During the last 2 years of soccer, I watched Andy from the sidelines and talked and laughed with Kim during games and practices. The last time I saw Andy, he was laughing at me after a long, cold, and rainy, Friday practice as I held my nose and helped my grandson remove his wet socks and shin guards. That laughing smiling face is what I will store forever in my mind. My heart is broken that he is no longer with his beautiful family, Kim, Jesse, Jacob and Alyssa. Andy was a bright and shining star who deserved to shine amongst us a lot longer. I feel blessed and privileged to have known him for the short time that I did.

I've played soccer AGAINST Andy for almost 3 years. I'd see him almost every Thursday and then until recently, I'd see him on Sundays. Most people on my team would remember him for his skills on the soccer field, but my most vivid memories of Andy is when we would chat about random things on the sidelines. He was a good player. Very frustrating for me since we were always opponents on the field (I've received my fair share of injuries playing bumping into him), but when the game was over, we always smiled and laughed when we shook hands. He was a good man. My deepest sympathies for his wife and kids. Whenever I'd see Andy at a soccer field, I would usually also be able to spot his wife and kids somewhere on the sidelines no matter what the weather was like. He will be missed.
