In Loving Memory of Andrew M. Klotsche (1986 – 2025)
North Haven, Connecticut
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Andrew M. Klotsche of North Haven, Connecticut, who departed this world far too soon on April 3, 2025, at the age of 38. Andrew’s unexpected passing has left a profound void in the lives of his family, friends, and all who were privileged to know him. Yet even in grief, we choose to celebrate the extraordinary person he was—a man whose warmth, compassion, and infectious laughter left a lasting mark on the hearts of many.
Andrew was the embodiment of kindness. Whether greeting a friend with his signature smile or lending a helping hand to a neighbor in need, he carried a natural grace and gentleness that made people feel seen, heard, and loved. His presence alone could light up a room, his words had the power to comfort, and his sense of humor reminded us not to take life too seriously.
Born and raised in Connecticut, Andrew developed deep roots in his community. He was a loyal friend, a dependable colleague, and a treasured member of countless circles—from his childhood friendships to the bonds he formed through work, hobbies, and community involvement. Andrew brought people together, and he nurtured those connections with genuine care and unwavering loyalty.
Above all, Andrew was deeply devoted to his family. To them, he was a loving son, a supportive sibling, a caring cousin, and a trusted confidant. He celebrated their milestones with joy, stood by them in times of need, and filled their lives with laughter and love. His memory will live on in every family gathering, every cherished story, every heartfelt hug.
Those who knew Andrew will remember his boundless curiosity and adventurous spirit. He embraced life with enthusiasm, never shying away from new experiences or opportunities to grow. Whether exploring the outdoors, enjoying live music, or simply spending time with those he loved, he found beauty and meaning in the everyday.
As we mourn Andrew’s passing, we also celebrate the legacy he leaves behind—a legacy not defined by accomplishments or accolades, but by the kindness he showed, the lives he touched, and the joy he brought into the world. His life, though shorter than we would have hoped, was rich in love and meaning.
A service to honor Andrew’s life will be held in the coming days, where family and friends will gather not only to grieve but to share stories, laugh through tears, and hold close the memory of someone so deeply loved.
In this time of sorrow, let us also be grateful—for the time we had, for the love we shared, and for the inspiration Andrew continues to offer us. May we carry forward his spirit of compassion, humor, and hope, and strive to live with the same open heart he showed us all.
Rest in peace, Andrew. Your light will never fade.
