It has been a long time since I have seen you. It was in Elementary school. We used to hang out and have such a blast. I have two memories that i really love and always laugh at when i think back.
We used to sit on the school bus together sitting behind Rachael. This was just a girl that we liked and was of course older. We thought that any attention was better than none from her so we would poke at her and play with her hair and say her name really loud! We sure got her attention. :)
I wasn't the biggest fan of wresting when i was little but it always made it so much fun when you were there because we would just run down the halls of the schools as fast as we could and just make trouble. I had such a good time with you. You were so funny and full of life even at such a young age living in Luna Pier. I am going to really miss you Andrew. It came at such a shock to me. It has been many years since i have heard from you but have always wondered what you were doing so i just looked you up and I was hit with such a sadness. I can't stand knowing that you are gone. I wish I knew you now. I can see how many lives you have touched. Take Care Andrew. You are missed so much my friend.

You were an amazing person i cant believe this happened. We became good friends about 5 years ago at the end of our sophomore year. Then Lucky me junior year we were in almost every class together joking around, acting silly and always laughing about well basically everything that would come out of your mouth LOL. and at all the ditzy things i dont even know why i did lol. Im so glad i got to know you so well and we were able to share a few fun memories together. Like the stupid stuff we did just being big dorks, and all the times you came to venturas to laugh and make fun of all the drunk people with me. we would laugh at pointless things together that no one else would laugh at, play jokes on people at venturas, and the best... always playing jokes on my mom and pranking her haha. Im happy you were at my 18th b-day party, filling the hotel bathtub up with ice and alcohol trying to hide it from my family, spreading toilet paper threw the halls and up and down the elevators. You were a perfect friend we acted so much alike in most ways. You were always there for everyone to make them laugh! Thank you so much for being there for me when my grandpa died and being at his showing for me. i wish we didnt let our friendship fade away these past 5 years and i regret not staying in touch with you after highschool. A week before your accident i talked to you for basically the 1st time in like 3 years. You were such a good person, always happy, joking and smiling ;-) never a dull minute with you. My thoughts are with andrews family and friends and especially you jacob, but im sure he is smiling down on all of you and watching over you guys. ~Andrew you will never be forgotten!!!

I Miss You |
August 16, 2007 |
Andrew, Every day I think to myself that this cannot be real, it has to be one of your pranks. After your funeral reality hit, and I realized that you really are gone. I will never ever forget all of the good memories we've shared. Like the time you, Nick, and Doug all came to my dad's house and you found my cherished diary with all the entries about you in it, and you tickled me until I couldn't breath. Eventually years later I let you read it, and I guess that's the smartest thing I ever did. That's what made our friendship what it is today. You and Nick used to give me such a hard time in middle school, but it always made me laugh in the end, I could never be mad. I remember a time when the two of you stole a disposable camera of mine and took hilarious pictures of yourselves, then took the camera apart and only gave me the roll of film back. I still have those photos in an album, and I've looked at them every day since your accident. They are pictures that show who the real Andrew was. I'll never forget all the times I made you brownies or all the squirt gun fights we had. The time you let me drive the Talon. All of our goofy instant messages that would last until the wee-hours of the morning, and even visiting you at Texas Road House. I regret more than anything letting the ongoings on everyday life get in the way of our friendship. How simple it would have been to stay in touch these past few months, and now it's too late. I know you're looking down on each and every one of us, and I know someday we'll see you again. Losing you made me realize that in the blink of an eye, life can end. I'm glad that you got to be my first crush, my first date, my first real kiss. You taught me so much, and I wish I could have had the chance to tell you. I miss you so much, but I know I'll see you again.
R.I.P. Andrew, you will NEVER be forgotten.

Closer than my own brothers. |

Andrew, this is so hard for me to even put into words. We were together everyday from the 4th grade until you moved to Springfield, even then we still hung out. You, Doug and I have known each other for so long that you two guys became my brothers. Literally, because i am closer to you guys than my own siblings. I'll never forget the weekends racing motocross at Delta, building the track in the back yard at your dads, racing BMX at challange, doing the magic shows, the Higgins Lake trip up north when you, Doug and your dad scared the living shit outta me until i was in tears! Plus when you lived in Pittsford the Fox den and the lake fishing all the time. We were at Bike Nite together at Village Inn last sunday and it was awesome to just hang out again and ride together had i known that was the last time i would see you i would have had so much to say. I plan on putting together a Poker Run in your memory soon, have to work things out with that. I'll think about all of our great memories together every day for the rest of my life because you truly were my brother Andrew... I love ya man and you'll never be forgotten. R.I.P.

Met ya back in middle school and you just seemed to follow from the Whiteford parties to the Springfield ones. Then seein' you around at the car meets at Pier 1 and everyother parking lot we seemed to get kicked out of. Glad I had the opportunity to hang out with such a funny, energetic, and goofball guy like you as many times as I did. It's funny too, because I always see ya around town at least once a month and your just one of those guys you can't miss in a crowd. I'll miss ya, and may you rest in peace.

I can't believe this is real. |
August 14, 2007 |
You're funeral was today. It hit everyone extremely hard. For the first time, I had to finally accept that this is real. It has all felt like a bad dream, and I've been praying that it would just be another prank of yours. I miss you Andrew. It's impossible to watch your family and friends in pain, it makes me cry everytime I see them. I hope you are looking down and seeing how much joy you brought to everyone's life. You're truly a friend that can't ever be replaced. Watch over us and rest in peace. We love you.

My Fourth Brother |

Andrew,
I cannot believe this is actually real..it all seems like a dream. The past few days I have been spending as much time with Jake and the boys and I still think you will be walking through the front door any second. I have not adjusted to seeing my brother without you, his wingman, right at his side cracking jokes. Growing up with you was a blast, although you and jake made me cry a couple dozen times, I loved it. I used to have the biggest crush on you when you first moved next door. Then it turned into you being my brother..i still thought you were soo cute! Everytime I seen you, you and Jake were able to make me laugh until I had to pee. I was able to talk to you about anything and you were just such a caring person. I honestly can say that you were damn close to perfect..you brightened every room you walked into..everyone loves you drew. It was just the other day that I was on the back of your bike and before we left you were giving my mom a hard time just to make us laugh. You were so good at it..I have so many great memories with you.
You have impacted so many lives in so many different ways with your presence, personality, smile, heart, and pranks. Thank you for being Jake's very best friend. Never have I once witnessed a pair of best friends be so loyal and real. Never once did you guys fight or get seriously mad at each other. Seeing you two made me so happy. I am gonna miss it so much. It breaks my heart seeing Jake without you, he is not the same..he misses you man..he needs you so watch over him..I know you will.
I know you are with us but it is not the same-except you are still playing pranks on us..like the other day at the bowling alley..Brian and I really wanted them Sour Patch Kids and you thought you had us, but the worker opened up the machine and mission accomplished. Man, Andrew, you are my fourth brother and I love you and miss you so much. I cannot wait til the day I get to see you and Jake reunited doing what you guys do, until then you forever will be in my heart and i'll be missing you every second.
I Miss and Love You, R.i.P.

Hey man whats up? dude i am so sorry about what happend to you that wednesday night. I still cant believe your gone!!! when i saw that car pull out infront of you that night my heart instantly dropped, because i knew you where dead, and there was nothing i could possibly do about it. The site of the accident keeps playing over and over in my head, and i just keep thinking man what if we would have been stopped at one more light, had one more drink, sat there and whatched that dumb ass dude try to get into chasers, man what if. Jake finally told me what that whole seventy seven thing was about lol god your gonna be missed bro. God you where such a prankster, and everyone who knew you is gonna miss you so, so much man...
Sincerely
Brian Hahn
