Life story

Andrew Jordan Fouch, was born Saturday November 4, 1989 @ 8.47 am. He was 9 lb. 10oz and 22 and 1/2 inches long. We joked about him being a moose and that he walked out of the hospital that day. Needless to say, he was huge spirit in life, just as he is still today. He was a blessing to our lives and is dearly missed every minute. The new normal isn't what we wanted but is not our choice. I know he is at Gods side with no pain, worries, viruses, addictions or struggles. He is now our guardian angel. I was there for his first breath of life, his long walk of 34 years, 6 month and 17 days and I was there April 18th, 2024, 10:24am, 33 days ago for his last breath and my ok for him to finally be at peace. Most heart-breaking day of my life. I now want everyone to remember "that it is ok, to not to be ok", please don't hold back, or in your struggles, please share everything so someone can help or listen or be a shoulder to cry on. Andrew had all of this, but didn't want to burden anyone, I am sure of this. He put on good front but fought his darkness alone by choice. I also believe 100% that when it happened even, he said, "WHAT THE HELL" Have I done. Please let someone be there for you, the alternative, is you gone, and your loved ones left behind asking Why and what could we have done? Andrew, we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with you but in the end, you spent the rest of yours with us. I will keep your memory alive forever and ever, till I get to hold you in my arms once again. Mom (F34)

Thanksgiving 2025

So today came and went like so many other days. I have so many good blessings in my life. But still miss you so much. And not only have we lost you but the loss of what you brought to our lives, is slowing drifting away. Landon is a big peace of you and he spend the last 14 years in our life. But since you left hes been drifting away too. So this holiday we didnt have you or him.. first of many to come im afraid. I pray everyday that the memories we made will always stay lock in his mind. Please god.. bless him.. please Andrew be by his side. Heart breaks just about everyday.

365 day

Today was so hard but not as hard as losing you on that fateful day. You dad and I miss you, your pack misses you, your family misses you. We started our day at 3.03am at the time we believe you left this world. We then gathered the pack at 10.24 am when we had to let you go get your wings. We invited family together @6pm to remember love is strong. Andrew you are loved now and forever. I know you are with us. I saw the signs today, the lady bug that landed in my car, the cardinals in the back yard, the butterfly in the front yard, the rain that poured while driving out to you, the 2 geese ( you and you grandmother ) shouting at us by your vault, when we all arrived that made us all laugh and the love of our family that showed to support us for this day. We will push through more, we will stay and fight. #andrewf34

Morgan Creek Park

Andrew we went to the park we all loved to go to for the first time since you passed.. almost one year ago. It broke our hearts but we created beautiful more moments for the kids. We smiled and laughed but missed you so much. I hope you are well and know how important you were in our lives. We love you. Continue to watch over us all. Love Mom

I miss you

One year is coming up and it doesn't feel real. Our last Easter day was sitting together watching the family find eggs and laughing because we knew where the last one was. The sun was shining and birds were chirping and if I knew then it was my last holiday I just might have froze it in time to keep you here with me. I love and miss you with every part of my being. I love you to the heavens and back.

We will never let you go quietly in to the night

We walked last night for you and Cody. Out of the darkness.. we fight everyday with heartbreak and emptiness. We are doing these things for hope and mental health for people around us. We love and miss you. #AndrewF34

Navy Years 1992

Mark and Andrew when he was 3 years old, Andrew always had more energy than! So, in Washington state we would take him to the park and run him till he could not run anymore. This was in 1992 How far away that seem now.
