Andrew left this earth on March 16th, 2026 at the age of 40. He was a voracious reader of lucid dreaming, science fiction/fantasy, and Buddhism.
Andrew was the life of any event that he attended as he loved to play games, tell jokes, clown around, and provide an intense conversation or debate on any subject.
He attended Brandon High School, Hillsborough Community College AS and then Erwin Technician (graduated as a Certified Surgical Technician with honors). After leaving TGH, Andrew was employed as a traveling surgical tech where he was assigned neuro and spine cases that were long and intense procedures.
He was preceded in death by his great grandparents (Charlotte and Russell Stevens), grandfather (Augie), father (Dennis Bell) and his pets (Buddy (cat) and Dexter(dog)). His remaining family (Tammy, George, Dennis, Donna, Sue, Chris, Paul, Jodi, Sarah, Kelli, Becki, Kerry and Rose) and many dear friends (Vinny, Joe, Matt, Troy, John, Eda, Katie, Betty and Kim) miss Andrew dearly as his life ended too soon.

This is a beautiful tribute. I only had the pleasure of meeting Andrew once. He was so kind and friendly with a big smile. He also gave me a big hug. I am sure he was wonderful at his job. Praying for you.
Tammy, what a beautiful tribute to your son. I never had the pleasure of getting to meet him, but I know you loved him with all your heart. I will keep you in my prayers for your son. Wish I was there to give you a big big hug.
I wish I had an opportunity for one last hug and meaningful conversation. Until we see each other again, I’ll think about you often. I love you. Mom
RIP Andrew, The way he came over to help me out after my husband died is something I will always appreciate. He was a truly good guy. You and I always do our best to brighten each other’s days, and I’m wishing you so much peace and better days ahead.
Enjoyed your visits staying up late playing videos games,eating pizzas. We mastered every game together. Rest in peace cousin .
I havent been in contact with Andrew for a while but I look back at the times we had and they were all mixed feelings and emotions we always ended up skate boarding together whether it was in the neighborhood at regency or the skate parks I honestly wish we could go back to those times when things werent so crazy. I miss Andrew and he won’t ever be forgotten and with a brother being removed we should bring out families closer together. I am sorry for the loss of your son Andrew my brother.
