About Me

Andy Richardson was quiet, introverted, and extraordinarily resolute. Fiercely loyal to his family and friends, he would, without hesitation, sacrifice his own interests if he knew that he could be of help.
Those of us who knew Andy believe that it was his resolve, sense of sacrifice and principle that compelled Andy to confront the men who would ultimately be responsible for his untimely, senseless and violent death. Andy saw a group of bullies intent on intimidating others, and he made a stance. This should not have cost him his life.
Andy's loved ones hope that this site will in some way help bring to justice those who cowardly attacked Andy. If you, or anyone you know has any information that may aid in the apprehension of Andy's killers, please contact law enforcement immediately.
Their recklessness and violence may have taken Andy from us sooner than any of us could have imagined, but our love for him lives on in our hearts and thoughts.
Andy was and is our hero. Rest in peace, little brother. We love you.
