Andrew was killed in a tragic automobile accident March 13,2011 that killed 4 students in one vehicle. His LOVE for Soccer prompted us to fund scholarships in his name. He had a heart for the unfortunate:
If anyone ever cared, really cared for someone else it would have to be Andrew E. Monroe. He was a warm hearted and well liked individual, and these wonderful traits came easily to him because he was such a sociable and amiable person, someone who was always making certain that those around him had whatever they needed. He was dependable, loyal and trustworthy. He radiated good fellowship.
