Andrew Forrest December 30, 1959 - November 28, 2024

Andrew Forrest, known as Andy to many, died unexpectedly on November 28, 2024 at age 64. A resident of Delaware County for most of his life, Andy leaves behind friends, colleagues, and family – his little brother, Dave, and sister-in-law, Amy, a beloved niece, Sarah, and a dear nephew, Matthew, along with their families – who will miss him dearly. Andy was a loving uncle and very proud to become a great uncle of three in recent years.

Andy was extremely capable and hard working – a man of many talents, interests, and deep intelligence, though he was always humble. Across his years, Andy spent time as a volunteer firefighter, scuba diver, auto mechanic, and maintenance manager for grocery stores and offices. Andy knew how to fix almost anything. At a recent family Thanksgiving, he replaced a faulty kitchen light fixture in a snap. Andy also pursued interest in computers and tech, becoming an unofficial IT department for several workplaces. Andy enjoyed gaming in his free time and even built his nephew a computer for a birthday one year.

Andy appreciated the little things in life – a homemade meal (especially the homemade rolls at Thanksgiving), a cold beer, an opportunity to relax and watch a movie. Andy had a great, quirky sense of humor. His family will particularly remember holiday meals which were full of laughter and lively conversations which took unexpected turns, probably at least one Star Trek reference or Mel Brooks quote, and deep discussion of politics and current events.

Above all, Andy was a kind person, devoted to the people he loved, and always willing to help others.

At this time Andy’s funeral services are pending, please check back at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to  Chester Eastside Ministries or by mail to Chester Eastside, Inc. P.O. Box 36 Chester, PA 19016, where Andy volunteered helping to maintain the computer lab for the after school program for a number of years.

    So sorry to hear about your loss. I worked with Andy for a number of years at Whole Foods in Devon. He was always ready to help with any problem – a true jack of all trades.
