WARRENVILLE, SC - Andrew J. Barrett, age 87, of Aiken, formerly of Warrenville, S.C., son of the late James Barrett and the late Ora Irene Jackson Barrett, entered into rest on Saturday, April 23, 2016.
He is survived by daughters and sons-in-law, Joan and Ben Parrott and Beverly and Johnny Hodson both of Aiken, S.C.; grandchildren, Chad (Jennifer) Parrott, Andrea (Derrick) Haltiwanger and Jared McLendon; great grandchildren, Grant and Grayson Parrott, Addison and Anna Haltiwanger; a very special niece, Jan Moore; special nephews, Carlton and Steve Wilson and many other nieces and nephews.

He was born in Huntsville, Alabama, but has been a lifelong resident of Aiken County, S.C.
He was a loving, caring, precious daddy, granddaddy and uncle. He loved his family and grandchildren with all his heart. He especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, and he always like to attend all their sporting activities when possible.

It began when Beverly and I became such good friends in the 4th grade and has never ended. I was always introduced as your dad's adopted daughter and always loved him as if I was.

He will be greatly missed, but I know this will be the best birthday he has ever had with all the angels and loved ones singing and celebrating. Happy birthday Mr. Barrett!!!!
I love you both and will always be here for you.
