Andrew it has been a year and it seems like yesterday that I saw you for the first time as a baby. I still can't believe you are gone. I still expect you to walk in behind your parents and your sister at family functions. When you don't appear, a sad darkness fills my heart. I just wanted to let you know that we think about you a lot, and hope the best for the close family you left behind. But someday we all will be together again with God and his angels. Thank you for watching over our children then and now.

Love forever,

Sara, Joe, Brendan, and Cammille

Andrew is going to be missed very much by all of us. Andrew was a genuine individual who touched everybody and made an impact on all of us. Nobody can ever replace Andrew's smile and his love for children, family, friends and also his animals, Copper, Fluffy & "Mama kitty." I am glad that Jesse and Larry gave Lee Johnson and I the chance to meet him. We lived with Andrew for almost two years and I am so glad that the lord graced us with that opportunity. Andrew We miss you soooo much already and hope that you are looking down on us. Make sure you take care of Nikolas and I'll make sure that Nikolas remembers what a kind person his god papa was through stories and pictures. You were always smiling even when your heart was breaking and you were hurting. Andy is like my brother and he used to always tell me, "Ride or Die, Shana," Andrew, you should know that through our grief, pain, and happiness in remembering you, Lee, Nikolas and I will ride out for you until our last breath. WE LOVE YOU BIG DADDY!!!



Love Always and Forever,

Lee, Shana and your godson Nikolas!

I am Andrews cousin, Sara Henderson (maiden name Lowry). Andrew was so full of life and happy-go-lucky. But one quality is that he was very good with children. My kids and others in the family loved Andrew. He would play and talk to them and give them gum!! Andrew is now watching over them in Heaven and will be there to greet them in their passage to God's arms. For everyone, give your kids hugs and kisses every day and tell them you love them before they lay down to sleep, because life is too short to take for granted. Teach them not to hold grudges and talk to your family every day. Andrew left us too early, we will miss him greatly.

To Andy's Family...

I am terribly sorry to hear about Andy. He was a great friend to many and a wonderful person! Through out middle school as well as high school we had classes together, but like many friend ships ours faded as years went on. I will never forget his smiling face, that never seemed to fade away. Every time i saw andy, he was laughing or smiling, being himself! He was his own person and he didnt care what others thought of him! Hearing him sing in choir had to be my fondest memory of Andy, and he will forever be missed! My thoughts and Prayers go out to you and your family!! God Bless!! Much Love!! Janaya

Leigh, Don and Ashleigh,



You have been in my thoughts and prayers since I heard about Andy on Thursday - I can’t even image what you must be going through. It’s hard to understand why something like this happens. Whenever Andy would come to the house with Jesse he always had a smile on his face. I can’t recall a time when he wasn’t smiling and laughing - he was such an awesome person and a great friend to Jesse and Jason. He will be dearly missed by all of us.

With deepest sympathies to Andy's family. He will be sincerely missed by all of the Rulli family and his godson Nikolas Johnson. Andy's smiles and laughter will always be remembered and we will always miss him. May he rest in peace with the Lord.

To Andrew's Family,

My name is Allison and i went to school with Andrew. I know exatly what you are going through. I lost my dad 3 months ago to a heart attack. It was so sudden and so shocking. Andrew was always a outgoing kid. and always had a smile on his face. He never had a problem getting someone to smile and laugh. In gym class playing soccor(April 27th) he was the goalie and blocked all but 1 shot. and would do anything he could to block the shots. He was such a team sport. Andrew i know your looking down on all of us and don't know why you were taken from us so soon. And we'll never know. To Andy's family. My heart and prayers are with you at this time.
