In his 18 years, Andrew brought laughter, humor and so much love to all who knew him. His family and friends are devastated at his loss and fully intend to honor his memory in the most meaningful ways we know how.

This Go Fund Me page is a result of the overwhelming requests for a way to best support our family during this heartbreaking time. The decision to establish the Andrew Patrick Needham Vocational Education Scholarship Fund for students with IEPs who wish to continue their education and prepare for their career.

Andrew was supported by countless professionals from early intervention through High School, who worked diligently and tirelessly with John, Bridgette, Brandon and our entire family to ensure he knew success. Andrew graduated in June of 2021, a vision and fact we are so incredibly proud of. We want his legacy, our love and our pride for him to extend to other young adults and families as they begin to carve out the foundation for their futures.

The family would like to extend our gratitude for the outpouring of love and support following Andrew’s death. Our hearts and lives are forever changed, his memory is forever ingrained in our souls.
