In Loving Memory of Andrew Petrick (1981–2025)
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Andrew Petrick, who died peacefully on the evening of October 15, 2025, at the age of 44, just weeks after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Andrew’s departure has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who knew him. He is survived by his devoted parents, Dave and Diane Petrick, whose heartbreak is shared by his loving sister Michelle (Petrick) Lurie, who stood by his side every day since his diagnosis. Andrew was also a caring uncle to Addyson and Joshua, and a cherished brother-in-law to Adam Lurie, who always looked forward to Andrew’s visits and the warmth of his company.
Andrew’s life was marked by his deep love of music and sports. He was a talented guitarist who found joy in jamming with friends and sharing his passion for sound and rhythm. His easygoing nature and magnetic personality made him a luminous presence
in every room. As his friend Dufour beautifully put it, Andrew had a “wonderful essence” — a light that everyone recognized instantly and that brightened the lives of those around him.
Andrew remained a dedicated father figure to his 13-year-old adopted son, Sheamus, whose life he touched with love and care.
Andrew will be honored in a service at his parents’ church, Hamburg United Methodist Church on Union at 1:00 PM followed by a Celebration of Life at 4685 Southwestern Blvd. Building A on Sunday October 19th from 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM, where friends and family will gather to remember the joy, laughter, and unforgettable conversations he brought
into their lives. He was the kind of person everyone enjoyed spending time with — a genuinely likable character whose absence will be deeply felt.
In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes tokens of sympathy or contributions to a charity of your choice in Andrew’s memory.
Andrew Petrick will be remembered for his big heart, humor, music, and countless ways
he made life better for those around him. He was loved, and he will be missed.
