I know this board is for some of our favorite stories of Andrew, but I have so many(some of which shouldn't be posted about). I wouldn't even know which one to pick, or where to begin. So I'm gonna say what comes to mind when I think of him, lil Reynz.

Just the thought of his name reminds me of trying to learn how to grind a curb in middle school, and he just rides up and pops a 50/50 with ease.
Or getting out of school early at henninger to skate the gap across the street. The endless nights of skating in front of the library. The most amazing family who took me in when I was 16, so I could keep my job and stay close to the homies. You would come to my job when I was getting out at 2a.m at wendys, so we could eat so much food and hit up skate spots on the way home. Going to the es game of skate down in nyc, and taking the train all over to check out famous spots along the way.

The thought of you takes me back to Florida. You and the family had already moved down and we got to visit each other being a couple hours away. Right after I broke up with the girl I was with at the time, I remember you driving from DJ's in Orlando to pick me up in Port richey to bring me back down to Fort Myers, so I could move back in with the family. The epic parties every night we were down their. All the way to ending back in ny together shedding.

You were always the one to inspire me. You were so sick at skating, I tried so hard to keep up with you. Every game of skate I was happy if I had at least one new trick to get you with.
Your strength in will. You were a couple years younger than I was, and yet you were determined. Didn't matter what it was, you grinded till you had it.
Yet you were the most humble person I have ever met. If someone needed a deck, you always had a spare. Shoes? You had a selection for people to pick from. You never let a homie go with out.

I can't lie, I still drop a tear every time i think of you. You were one of my oldest homies. We could get into a petty argument, go a year with out talking,
then just get together and chill like nothing ever happened. The part that kills me the most, is you just achieved your dream. Everything you have ever worked for, you got it! You finally turned pro.
I just wish you got to stick around a little while longer to enjoy it.

I'd like to give a special thanks to his family; his mom, dad, and both his little sisters. For everything, from letting me move in and helping me out, to always checking on me and making sure I was always alright. They were always their when I needed some one to talk to, or just some guidance when I was lost. With out them I wouldn't be who I am today. Last but not least, for raising a legend!

I love you Reynz. Till the day we met again homie I'll keep these memories close.
