In a social media post last week announcing his diagnosis, Andrew shared a dictated message that he would soon pass away.

“I’ve come to terms completely with what the future will be, but I’m in the process of knowing that the future is probably pretty limited and getting ready to burst this mortal coil and head back to the trees,” he wrote. “I cannot overstate enough what an honor and privilege it has been to have known you for the last 58 years and to have lived the most incredible, incredible life.”
