Andy proudly served his country in the United States Army. Following his military service, he worked for over thirty years as a contractor at Fort Rucker.  He was a devoted and loving father and brother who cherished time with those he loved most.

He especially treasured visits to Auburn to spend time with his daughter and her partner—sharing meals, enjoying movie nights, and simply being present with them brought him great joy. He shared a close bond with his sister as well, and their deep connection was a constant source of comfort and strength. He went out of his way to make his loved ones feel supported and deeply cherished.

A lifelong golf enthusiast, he found peace and joy on the course. He was also a passionate supporter of all things Auburn University—especially Auburn football—wearing his orange and blue with pride. Known for his selflessness and strong work ethic, he cared deeply for everyone he worked with and called a friend. He consistently gave of himself, never hesitating to lend a hand or offer encouragement. His warmth, generosity, and quiet strength left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Survivors include his daughter, Haley Brand, Auburn, AL; sister, Angela Brand Butler (Brian), Riverside, CA; nephew, Samuel Butler, Riverside, CA; best friend, Tim Carter, Enterprise, AL.
