My thoughts are with Andrew’s family at this very sad time. He was a beautiful boy with a very warm and adorable nature. I am sure that he will be missed so much by everyone who knew him.
Sending love, Clare Thompson x

Absolutely gutted to hear about andrew’s passing. He was a big part of my life when I lived in Birmingham for university and when a group of us moved to London. One of my favourite memories is both of us modelling for a fashion show in London. We were both colourful and fabulous together. I loved his smile and his laugh. I will forever remember that. All my love to family and friends. Alis xxx
Andrew was such a joy filled, sunshine boy when we knew him during our time in Brum. Always ready for games and fun. I remember especially one time in our garden, when we played “pass the water bucket” backwards! So much laughter.
Remebering you, Anne, Brian, Hazel and Jonathan in our prayers.
My sincerest condolences to Andrew’s family. Andrew showed me nothing but kindness. I have so many happy memories with him. One time in particular was when we went one night in Kings Heath. There was nothing going on, so the two of us split off from the group and wandered off. Andrew found these little toy vending machines in some shop, so we bought some bouncy balls. We proceeded to chuck them all over the street and unintentionally ended up hitting a bunch of cars. We did say sorry to the owners! Another time we went to a Gillian Wearing exhibit, and I’m so glad I got to experience seeing her work with him.
Andrew is really special, and I’ll honour his memory in anyway I can. Love forever, Kate xxx
My thoughts are with you all Andrew and I meet in bournmouth we had built a very special bond together spending time together growing,supporting and loving and caring for eachother from daily chats to our crazy walks across bournmouth beach. The thing we liked doing most was playing on the basketball machine on the pier and laugh till we were weak at the knees and sweating buckets he will be my forever friend may he rest in eternal peace love u Andrew ❤️ ✌️❤️
Sending my love and condolences to Anne, Brian, Hazel and Jonny.
Andrew was one of my besties and I have some of the best memories with him that I will cherish forever. We were always laughing hysterically, so much so that our belly’s would hurt. I will forever miss the sound of him laughing. Love you Andrew
John and I loved meeting Andrew when he worked at the MAC, he was loving, friendly and kind. I hope he is at peace now. Its heartbreak for everyone close to him. I will so miss my Big Andrew.
Sending our love and condolences to family and loved ones
Andrew will be sadly missed by us all at Streetscene He had a wonderful heart and a beautiful soul God Bless
You were so unique, wish we’d spent more time together after we grew up. I’ll always have the best memories, mostly laughing x
In the years that I knew Andrew in London, I always admired him so much. He was magnetic, hilarious and so damn handsome. At first his fabulousness intimidated me but I soon saw there was so much kindness in him. Even at parties he would ask how you were and you could tell by the warm look in his eyes he genuinely cared. I feel lucky to have known him. Thanks for a beautiful service.
Andrew…
A sparkling, creative boy,
A free spirit amongst the Birmingham youth,
As the tributes pour in, we are reminded of your qualities:
“Warm, beautiful, adorable, magnetic, fun, loving, friendly, fabulous, genuine, kind..
And many more
Adored by so many…
To the family and friends of Andrew:

Eye to eye,
Heart to heart,
Please, hold on,
Open hearts, let love in,
Gently soothing the heartbreak together…
Goodnight Andrew…
Your light will always shine in our memory of you…
Blast from the past
I was a friend of Andrews when he was a very small boy. He once gave me a little daffodil on a pin
I still have it
Togethet in sorrow. The angels are lucky to have him
Love Kirsten
O my son Andrew! My son, my son Andrew! My heart is utterly broken. I miss you so much.
Thank you for the beautiful Christmas present which we found in your room. I am so sorry that we weren’t able to celebrate your birthday in style as I promised in your card.
I will cherish the memories of when we came to visit you in Bournemouth. Everywhere we went, people stopped to greet you. That day we went to the New Forest and saw the wild ponies and then had that enormous cream tea was very special.
I am so glad that you are now at peace and in God’s loving care.
I look forward to seeing you again in the new heaven and the new earth.
I love you with all my heart.

I have so many fond memories of Andrew. Camping at the trailer tent in Stratford, raves at the Rainbow Warehouse, endless evenings watching films on a laptop in my parents’ basement, Boomtown festival, coach trips to shop for cheap fur coats in Camden, laughing till we couldn’t breathe, making up our own language, painting each other’s faces, stealing each other’s clothes, Skype chats, webcam selfies, making human pyramids in the back garden, hiding from the rain in a bush until my dad picked us up, and lying in the sun. When I passed my driving test, he was the first person I drove to see.
Rest in peace Andy x
