Andrew Joseph Wiederhold

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. 

 

 

Andrew,

You will be greatley missed in camden Mi. When u moved in the forth grade i was so mad at you for moving because i lost prob. my  bestfreind in the world . and then we lost touch for around 12 or 13 years and we just started talking and i was looking foward to finaly meeting you again but i guess ill just halfto wait a little longer till i do that . I look at life now and its not fair ! To short and never turns out like u want it to !

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!!!

~R.I.P Buddy~

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.

 

 

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 remember when you used to come into Showdown all the time one of our regular customers.  You will be missed by everyone who you came into contact with in the local tuning scene, from myself and the rest of the crew at toledotuners.com our best wishes and condolences go out to your family and we hope you are looking down from a better place.

 

 

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.

 

 

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

 

Andrew, you were at the house more than I was.  Seriously you could have been a brother as much as you were with Jake.  When I needed to get ahold of Jake, I would call you.  I knew you were always together or just were.  It is difficult to pick a best memory together because you were around so much.  We would sit up and call fast food restaurants with pranks all night long.  Every Taco Bell in Toledo got a call about a finger in their tacos, in one of your many hilarious voices.  Mom would get so mad thinking they were going to trace the calls and get us in trouble.  I tried the other night to think of a time when I seen Andrew mad or upset.  Never once do I remember him being down on life.  He was always happy and making others happy.  When he was with us, I knew I was going to be laughing at some point.  Going to Florida with him was a blast.  It was always fun being around Andrew.  He is going to be missed dearly.  Hopefully everyone learns something from all of this.  I know I have.  It is sad that it takes something like this for all of us to reallize what is important in life. 

I will never forget Aug. 9th, when Adam, Brynns BF told me that you were in an accident and passed away. We were at work, and I just was speechless.

 

I remember being in high school and goofing off with you in class. And how you had the best hair in HS. I will never forget your smile and you being yourself, and thats what I like most about you. You know how to real touch lives. I will never forget the last time I saw you, you were on your bike at the stop light; never would have thought that would be the last time we would see each other. You have so many friends and always so fun to be around and always was so positive. But your are being taken care up above, one day we'll see each other again, I won't ever forget your smile that you always had.

 

 I miss you. R.I.P Adnrew: you'll never be forgotten.

I will never forget August 10, 2007, the day that not only did I find out one of my closest highschool friends passed away, but a major disaster happend in my own home....All I kept thinking about after such a horriffic day, was Andrew and how I knew he was in Gods hands and how he reminded me to appreciate every day I am alive. 

 

Andrew, you were such an amazing friend to me and I have so many wonderful memories with you. Your smile indeed was infectious, as many others have said. You always gave the tightest bear hugs, the kind of hugs every loved one should give to one another but probably don't. I will never forget the infinate number of times me you and jake would sit on my front porch and just crack up over the most pointless things to the point where our stomaches would hurt. I'll never forget those hillarious smirks you used to give me and just the way you carried yourself, or the many conversations me you and jake would share with one another. 

 

I can't believe you are gone and it is such a shock. I remember the last time I saw you not too long ago, and little did I know that would be the last. You truly have many friends and were always so fun to be around, but that was just you. You never had to try hard to have a good time because you were always so positive. While I am writing this, all I keep thinking of is the sound of you me and jake laughing, somehow whenever we all got together it was just like a stand up show...always cracking jokes haha! Awww jeeze...I'm gonna miss you so much.

 

I always will take with me the easy-going spirit you had. I always admired that about you. God is with you now, and God has comforted me as well. I will never ever forget you, how could I, how could all the people you knew.

 

You rest in peace now, but will always remain in each of our hearts and boldly in our minds.

 

Will miss you tons,

Natalie

 

 

Andrew man I just keep asking why and their is no answer. It hurts.  We just miss you so much and want you back.  Nothing is the same. I keep thinking I will see you when I get home just hanging out at the house with jake or maybe you will be on my couch in the morning from a night out with the boys. 

You were like a brother to me. You always made me laugh and always had a smile on your face. You were the life of the party. I wish we just had more times to hangout, I just got used to you being around, we didn't have to go out to have fun cuz you and the boys just had fun being in each others company. You honestly had one of the best personalities out of any guy I know. You and jake loved picking on me and trying to make me mad, but I never could be because you always came back with a joke and I would laugh everytime. You were so damn funny. I will never forget the memories and laughs. You were the all around great guy.

I wish you were here to see jake and I bring the child into this world. I mean I'm sure you were going to be the godfather. Please just be with jake and brian in their dreams because they love you so much, it's like a part of them is missing. I'm so sorry. It's kind of like you were protecting all your buddies and trying to make them open their eyes. I just hope everyone learns from this and opens their eyes to how life is the most precious thing and how we can all change somthing in our lives to better us.

I love you and will always remember you Drew.

Drew-

you always knew how to make everyone laugh. All of us have so many memories of you pullin pranks and just havin a good time. It all seems so unreal that this could happen to such a good person at such a young age. We all thought we would have so many more memories to come but it's all so final now. I remember ridin down Alexis Road in the talon and fishing at the bodyshop or the time when you were guiding my car into the garage and we broke the mirror off, good times. Or in Florida embarissing my sister by tellin the waiter that she liked him. I remember the times we would ride up to Jeds in the spiderman costume and mess with all the drunk people and hangin out at your place watchin SNL clips on the computer. I just wish we could all get together one last time to make more memories like those. Drew you will never be forgotten man, Rest in peace man, we love you and miss you!

man andrew i dont even know what to say man, we were closer than me and my brothers and you know that and anyone that knows us knows that, you know i kinda just got used to being around you everyday for the past 5 or 6 years it was just a daily routine to call you up everyday and meet up. never in a million years could i have thought this would happen to you man. your just one of those people that are irreplaceable, i love you bro and i cant wait till the day we will be able to ride together again, i will never ever forget you man i promise...man i miss you so much i cant even put it into words, i cant wait to see you again bro R.I.P.     your best friend your main man jacob^^^

I don't think any of us can come to our senses that this is real.  Within the snap of a finger, someone so close can be gone so fast. 

 

I remember looking at my phone a lot of times and seeing you call, and getting excited that I was going to see you that night.  The long fun nights we all seemed to have at our favorite bars, we will always remember and truley miss.  I will miss the huge hugs you gave when I wouldn't see you for a few days and I would run into you randomly....I will miss those.  I wish I could just have had one more hug and tell you how great you really were Drew!  I know I wasn't as close to you like some other people, but you still were such a great friend.  Seeing you everyday at Scott's for a couple months straight drew us so much closer.

 

You have been a close friend to many, and one that none of us will ever be able to forget Drew.  I think each and everyone of us are hurting so badly and we all don't want to believe this....but we have to.  We just have to remember that now you are in a better place, getting the best care.

 

and we all need to remember that we can't take life for granet....live today like it is your last day here.  Tell the people how much they mean to you and enjoy every minute you spend with them.

 

Drew....we love you so much, and miss you. 

 

 

This doesn't even feel real. I hate it. It feels like a bad dream that I can't seem to wake up from. Everybody misses you Andrew. It's unbelievable how many lives you touched in such a short period of time. My life was one of those..and I won't ever forget you.

 

Everywhere I go, I look for you. I picture your smiling face every direction I turn my head. It shocks me to know that you aren't at the same bar as me, and then it bothers me even more to think that I can't even call you there. You're gone. And its so hard to grasp.

 

You have always been somebody special to me, but this Winter Break we became closer than I had ever imagined. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, and I completely cherish every second that we spent together. You had a way to make me smile like nobody else can.

 

I wish I would have told you more how amazing I really thought you were. I miss you and thank you for everything in the world.  Your tradgic death has opened my eyes to understand how sudden life can end. I would do anything to have you back here.

 

I miss you so much and everyone else does too. R.I.P~ you'll NEVER be forgotten
