  1. Andy was always such a sweet soul. I know his family and friends were incredibly proud of him. My heart weeps for his passing, as he was such a powerful spirit. God bless his wife, children, and family. With much love, Mike Matt

  2. Oh man. Remembering all the fun we had in band, especially on the New York trip. Andy, you were such a great man. I’m heartbroken for your loved ones. Rest in peace friend. I’ll remember you with a smile.

  3. Oh Andy – you leave this world way too soon. I remember wishing I could have been as smart in school as Andy Yeager. You went on to do great things with that intelligence – and also with your big heart. Your wife and two girls were so blessed to have such a kind and genuine husband/father.

    Yeager Family – sending you strength. It doesn’t, and won’t, make sense. Remember Joshua 1:9 and Matthew 5:4.

    With love, LB

  4. Andy will be forever missed, we met while working together back in 1989, and later on we both moved from Indy to So Florida to work for a software firm. Andy was a brilliant, funny, fun loving , and loyal friend. We were roommates back in the early 90’s, and he was the best man in my wedding. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jen and their kids, and his folks, and longtime friends in Indianapolis. Rest in peace my friend, you won’t be forgotten.

  5. I have so many fond memories of Andy. He was such a kind-hearted guy. One particular memory sticks out for me from being in marching band together. He was the Drum Major and I was in the Color Guard. We had a little routine and the end of the show where I jumped into his arms and he flipped me backward onto my feet. He was so nervous in practice and I did end up on my behind a few times, but in the end we pulled it off for every performance.

    My thoughts and prayers to the family. Rest In Peace.

  6. So many great memories of Andy during his Middle School years–and such a wonderful family. Thoughts and prayers are with all the family.

  8. Dear Yeager Family~
    Nothing can prepare the heart for sudden loss, especially of a child, no matter their age. My heart aches for you all. There is never understanding that will close the pain, just a trust that God’s grace and love can get you through with blessings that you cannot yet fathom. Please know the prayers of many are lifting you all up.
    May the peace of God that transcends all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:7

  16. Andy – I am grateful that I had the chance to know you. Helping you and Jenn plan your Disney trip was so much fun. We took a trip down memory lane while we waited on hold to find out if we could book that dinner to Cinderella’s castle for you, Jenn and the girls. I really enjoyed catching up afterwards, and hearing about your lunch with an astronaut! I will wear by DisNerds lanyard proudly, knowing just where it came from. Jenn, I am so sorry he had to leave you so soon. He was a great guy. Much love, Lori
