Obituary for Andrew P. Burch

Andrew P. Burch
FORT EDWARD

Andrew Burch, 23, passed away on Saturday, October 12, 2013, as a result of a motorcycle accident.

Born January 11, 1990, in Glens Falls, NY, he was the son of the late Jeffrey Burch and Terri Sawyer and her husband Robert.

Andrew graduated from Fort Edward High School and was employed by Irving Tissue as a painter and groundskeeper. He enjoyed hiking and fishing as well as hanging out with his friends and fighting with his brothers. He was known to spoil his nieces, and was forever fixing his friends’ cars. He loved riding his motorcycle. Andrew will always be remembered for his wonderful smile and his kind and generous spirit. He was always looking for the next person to help out, and would do anything for anyone who needed it. One of his favorite quotes was, “As a kid, I was told I wear my heart on my sleeve.”
