Andrew's life was characterized by his unwavering dedication to serving his community and his country.

Beyond his illustrious career, Andrew's true passion lay in his roles as a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. A devout Catholic, Andrew's faith shone through in every aspect of his life. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life - whether it was casting a line while fishing in his skeeter, cheering on LSU football games, or tending to his garden. He had a special talent for bringing people together through food and hospitality, creating lasting memories with family and friends. 
 
Andrew was preceded in death by his parents, Mark Luke Andrepont and Elsie Marie Richard; his sisters, Martha Louise Mire, Cecilia Reeves, Rita Craig, and Theresa Lorio; and brother, Clifton "Cliff" Andrepont.
