Andrew Russell's Obituary
Andrew Michael Russell, 33, of Davidson NC left his life here on earth to join the heavenly father on May 1, 2023. He was born on July 4th, 1989, in Charlotte, NC to Tim and Amy.
Andrew had a huge heart and loved his family dearly. He enjoyed fishing with his PawPaw, brother’s, Brandon and Carson, Uncle Keith and many other family friends. He enjoyed other outdoor activities such as hiking and camping; he especially enjoyed Linville Gorge and the mountains of West Virginia.
He was an avid musician and playing his guitar was one of his favorite pastimes. You often could find him playing music at a local venue and he would play with anyone that wanted to play with him. Andrew loved listening and exploring all kinds of music – from The Beatle’s to Jimmy Rogers to Yes.
He thoroughly enjoyed discovering new foods and eating at his MawMaw Alice’s house and at anyone’s house that served eclectic cuisine.
He is survived by his father Timothy Russell (Regina); mother, Amy McIntosh (Darin); siblings, Carson McIntosh, Brandon Kraycirik, and Brittany Ferrell; grandmother Cindy Parsell Kennedy; Uncle Danny Kennedy; great grandparents Shirl and Jeanetta Wolfe. Many other extended family members from West Virginia, Tennessee, Virginia.
