his brother said this ((I dare you not to cry))
~snip~
We must remember him for how he lived his life and for the things he loved to do. Those who knew him well recognized what clearly made him special for each one of us. For me, he was my younger brother who I begged to make me cookies every weekend when I was home from school. Then while he was making them I would sneak into the kitchen with a spoon, grab some cookie dough out of a bowl and make a dash for the safety of my room being chased by him. His dream was to be a chef, and even though he won't be able to finish that dream in life, his legacy will live on in the lives he touched.

I am gonna go ahead and go where no one else really has yet.. but Andrew's sexual orientation and the method with which he chose to meet people has NOTHING to do with what happened to him really!
How many of you have posted on a dating website? Or know someone who has met their significant other on the internet?
What is wrong here is that Andrew met an ANIMAL on the internet!
I feel so badly for what happened to you Andrew! I wish you could have found the love of your life instead of finding your end there. I am so very sorry for the live you couldn't lead and so very sorry for the family that must be missing you so horribly.
rest in peace Andrew.
