Andrew Robert Aagard was born March 14, 1985 in Afton to Lyle Rick and Julie Aagard. Andy was the third child into the family.
Andy spent the first 11 years of his life on the Tygee Ranch near Auburn. Andy loved the closeness to the forest and spent most of his childhood playing in the forests, willows, creeks and snow banks with his brother and sisters and friends. He learned to ride motorbikes and snowmobiles and to work hard at his responsibilities.
After leaving the ranch, the family moved into their newly remodeled barn home in the town of Auburn. Andy was a big help with the work that transformed the cow barn into their home.
Andy attended school at Holdaway Elementary in Thayne, Star Valley Junior High in Afton and graduated from seminary and Star Valley High School in 2003.
Andy made many friends in elementary school and junior high that remained his friends throughout his life. Andy loved football and took pride in being part of the Star Valley Braves. He played as the starting defensive end his senior year and helped the team take second place in the state championship.
Andy worked hard at building himself up physically and enjoyed lifting weights. During his sophomore year he broke the school record for the dead lift, lifting 640 pounds.
Following high school graduation, Andy went to work with Rick doing construction and shop work. Working shoulder to shoulder with his dad, he soon became a very conscientious and skillful carpenter. He took pride in doing a good job and appreciated the challenges that came with construction work.
Andy was never one to do a lot of talking. He chose his words carefully and thoughtfully and didn't waste them on idle chatter. He loved doing things with his family and having any of his siblings come home to visit and play was a highlight for him. Andy loved to help others and was found at every service activity in the ward and others of his won making.
Andy was an elder in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and at the time of his passing was serving as a faithful home teacher, Elder's quorum service coordinator, teacher's quorum advisor and Sunday School secretary.
