Andrew Nesbitt Obituary

You're forever in my heart. I love you always.-Dinika❤

Rest in peace, my dear, sweet, kind, and loving friend. My "Andy".
Thank you for always being there for me, and for simply being you. Our memories always bring a smile to my face. I love you, always.-Dinika

To the Nesbit Family,
Maxine you have my deepest sympathy. I remember the boys coming in the shop to pick you up sometimes and Drew was always smiling and joking about something. I know he will be greatly missed. But lean not on your own understanding, God will take you through. A couple of day after hearing about your son,my mother-in-law also passed. So im trying to swallow my own words of encouragement,but God is able to pull you through. Keep the faith

To the Nesbitt Family and Friends,

My deepest sympathy goes out to everyone at this time. Andrew was my buddy in High school c/o 01’. Bryan, Larry, Andrew, and I at times were like a lil group. We hung out and just enjoyed each others company. Also Andrew and I were in the Gospel choir together and as it was mentioned before he loved to sing and bring attention to himself. He would always try to out sing everyone…you know Christy S., Crystal B, and Edna B. to name a few. Every time I hear Total Praise and How Excellent I would smile and think of him. That was the song the gospel choir sang at graduation and at gospel concerts. He would always keep you laughing and there was never a dull moment when he was around. All you had to do is look at him and either he smiled and you laugh or vice versa. We both also worked in Citadel mall at least I think he worked there..He was always there. The meeting place was at Bryans –down the street. Hearing that he was gone hurt my heart and it even brought some tears. I said, “Not my Andrew”…then the reminiscing started and there was NEVER a bad thing I could think of pertaining to him. He would always IM me on yahoo..he kept in contact even when he was going out of the country for his job, I think it was a magazine or something…he was always a busy body. It has taken me some time just to say a few words because when I think about the situation I get sad all over again. Knowing he is in a better place and not in this drastic world has lifted my spirits. Everyone is in my thoughts and prayers. Be safe and stay motivated in anything that you do.

To The Nesbitt Family,
Drew was a pleasure to know and love. He always had a way to make you laugh!
May God Bless you always

To the Nesbitt Family:
From our bus rides to and from GAT to step team practices and performances, Andrew was always a joy to be around. He knew how to make you laugh, but would give you a piece of his mind, if necessary; you could only love him for his honesty. It truly hurts to know that he is gone. While I am not certain how to fully express my condolences, please know that I will continue to pray for your family during this period in your lives. This is a time for the family to unite and find strength in both each other and Jesus Christ.

Blessings,

To my family and friends,
My prayers and thoughts are with you in this time of need. Drew was not only my cuzo, but my body guard when we went to GAT. Drew always made sure that I was ok and no one was messing with me. I miss you big cuz!! I look forward to seeing you again in the great big city. Family, I love you all.
Quanna

I remember all the good times we shared at GAT and how much he made me laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with the Nesbitt family.

Drew was always a happy, smiling person. Whenever you think of him think of that smile and those who he made smile. Brandon, I'm thinking of you. Octamiece Smalls

Hey Andrew! You may not be here in body but you are here in spirit! We may not have been the best of friends when we attended GAT together but you were someone I could talk to. We did share a lot of laughs together and your smile was so big and contagious that you couldn't help but smile with you. I will never forget your smile! You're in a better place now where your smiling face belongs. Sitting the highest above all rejoicing with the Lord. When it was time to be serious you were the last person to be considered a "CLASS CLOWN"! You had a lovable personality and I will never forget you and my heart and prayers got out to your family.

Andrew and I graduated from GAT in 2001. He was always a happy and humorous guy who would put a smile every face he came in contact with. My prayers go up for his family and friends.

I met Andrew at St, Augustines college in Raleigh,NC.He was very nice person, with a warm personality and smile. My prayers are with you at this time may the Lord continue to bless and keep you. Andrew is in a better place now, and we will see him again some day.

To the Nesbitt Family:
Andrew will be greatly missed, i remember in high school that he always made us smile with his jokes and just being around him was a joy. Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.

In meet Andrew at GAT. He always had a positive attitude and had jokes that kept you laughing. Andrew was a great friend and a very- talent person. I’m deeply saddened that we have lost our dear friend. Looking at the remarks everyone wrote about him shows that he had touched everyone in a special way. I leave this prayer for his family and friends: I pray that God sends the comforter to you that will abide with you forever. Keeping the great memories of Andrew’s life and spirit alive. Knowing that Andrew is in a better place where there’s no wars, hurt or want gives me a comforting peace. Andrew will be missed.

1 Corinthians 15 . . .

55 "Death, where is the battle you thought you were winning? Death, where is your sting?"

56 The sting of death is sin. And the power of sin is the law.

57 But let us give thanks to God! He wins the battle for us because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done.
May The Father grant you peace in your time of Sorrow.

Family
The day I met Andrew, I fell in love with this very energetic young man. His personality was magnificent! I called him my adopted son. I introduced him to my family and immediately the feelings was mutual. He keep my daughter and I laughing every time we met. We called him the Banana Republic and Gap man. Andrew was jovial, peaceful and kind hearted, sometimes a little too trusting, but this was his personality. He loved people. I can't remember a day Andrew did not have you feeling joyful. After he graduated from GAT, Andrew did not forget me. He was faithful,dedicated and a proud member of the ETS program. He continued to recruit for his ETS program. One day he called me and wanted to know if Cierra joined the program and my response was, "no, not at this time". He said "let me call her right now". I don't have to tell you, Cierra became a member of ETS. He looked forward to traveling with the group. He kept the group in check (as he would say). I can remember these words as if is was yesterday, "Ms. Green, I got your back". He would remind the group, "Ya'll don't want to see the other side of Ms.Green". Well, it worked. Andrew kept up with me (NC & VA.) He always wanted me to know what he was doing. When he called the first words he spoke was "Ms.Green, what are you doing"? I knew it was my Andrew. These were the first words that came to mind when I heard of his passing. I mourn today with the family. I am so very grateful that God allowed me to have met this wonderful young man whom I so grew so fondly of and will always remember him. I will keep your family in my prayers. He may be absent in the flesh but his memories will forever live in our hearts and minds.

Please do not hesitate to call me if you need, at anytime.
With much heartfelt love,
Ms. Green, ETS Program Coordinator

Drew and I went to middle and high school together. When I think of him, nothing but fond memories come to mind. He kept a smile on everyone's face. My prayers are with your family at this time of loss.

May the memories of Drew grow within you and bring you strength.

To the Nesbitt Family:
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Andrew. As a teacher for over thirty years, there were many students with whom I came in contact, and it is often difficult to remember every thing about a student, but then comes a student like Andrew. I remember the face, the smile, the sense of humor, his talent, and what a kind and loving person Andrew was. He will be missed, but be blessed in knowing that "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal." My prayers are with his family and friends and the GAT family who loved him as dearly as I.

Andrew and I went to school together, I am very sorry for the loss. Andrew was one of the sweetest people I knew. Someone great to have in your corner. It saddens me to know that he has left this earth, but he lives on through memories. Andrew we will all miss you. My prayers go out to the family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 (King James Version)

3Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

4Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

5For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

Yours in Christ Jesus,

TO JENNIFER
In the sad times of life, it's God's plan for friends to help friends any way that they can.May you find strength in your faith.Comfort in God's love and peace in knowing your friends are praying for you.Sorry for your lost.

It seemed like only yesterday that I spoke with Drew on his grandmother's porch in Petersfield 2 months ago. He and I spoke briefly, and he told me that he wanted to go my church with me that Sunday, that Sunday never came, and now he is gone. I will remember Drew for his loving kindness toward people. It's never easy losing someone you love.

May God Bless You and Your Family in your time of sorrow.

To Maxine, Ruth, Vonni, Big Barb, and the entire Nesbitt family,

I love you all and am praying that God's wonderful love sustain you at this trying time.
This great earth has not one sorrow that heaven can't heal.
Look to the Hill!!!!!

To the family, you are in my prayers at this time of bereavement. Andrew and I attended Garrett together and he was a pleasure to be around; he would always put a smile on your face. The Lord makes no mistake, just hold on and have trust that it's gonna be ok. Andrew fulfilled his purpose here on earth and God called him home. Keep walking with the Lord and one day we too will sing and shot for victory with Andrew.

Andrew and I attended high school together and were memebers of the Gospel Chior. Andrew, u will B greatly missed. I'm glad 2 have been 1 of the many blessed by your talks, jokes, voice of praise (boy u could sing) & more. My deepest condolences to his family.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Andrew was one of the kindest in this entire world. He was a great friend and just know that he is in a better place. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I remember Andrew being one of the funniest guys at school. He was always straight forward, with an awesome sense of humor. He was a "small" guy with a "HUGE" personality. Everyone knew him, everyone liked him. He will be greatly missed.

You are in our thoughts and prayers

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time.

Praying that God will comfort you and give you His strength during this difficult time.Grieving with you and sharing in your loss.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Andrew,
Funny, Helpful, Friend, Serious, Dedicated, Strong-Minded, Genuine, And Unique. Those are the words that come to mind when I think of you. The memories from High School are brighter because you are in them. Take care and know that I will always be your friend.

To The Family:

Andrew was a very mannerable and kind young man. I first met him when I taught at R.D. Schroder Middle School. Andrew, not knowing at first that I knew Ted and Maxine, seemed to have attached himself to me immediately. But when he found out that I was a friend and acquintance of his parents, he really began to pester me.

I last spoke with Andrew some months ago when we both attended a family member's funeral in Florida; he was the same Andrew, ill, but still his joyously pestering self.

I loved Andrew, and I know that he cared for me as well; therefore, I grieve today as a parent who has lost a son.

Andrew (Ted)/(Maxine), and Maxine, please take comfort in knowing that your love and prayers, along with those of others is what kept little Andrew going.

Right now as I pray for you, and you pray for yourselves, know that God is caressing you in his loving and soverign arms.

Agape Love,



Pastor Gertie B. Smalls-Ford & Family

To the Nesbitt,Ward Family My prayers goes out to you and yours may God bless and keep you. you have my deepest sympathy.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. Andrew is in a better place now. Always remember, "Absent from the body is present with the Lord"

I remember Drew from high school we were bestfriends, we rode the bus together, we were on the step team (843) together. I will miss you Drew, you are in a better place now.

To Jennifer and Family,
You have my deepest Sympathy in your time of sorrow. No words can describe what you're feeling. We love them, but God loves them more. Just remember that God won't put more on us than we can bear. Be Encouraged.

Each day is a new beginning given by God
I am reminded how blessed I am as this road I tread.
A new friendship comes to mind and it is my treasure.
Watching a child at play is my greatest pleasure.
Being able to help a fallen soul will
be my greatest joy.
Watching a bird build a nest while the
world searches for rest.
I am reminded I am only a small part of his plan.
When skies are blue or gray you are always there beside me.
I am reminded of God's love at the site
of a rainbow after the rain.
When I see the flag I'm reminded of the
freedoms I share.
I remember God's love to me when I
suffer much pain.
As the clowns come to town I am grateful I'm able to laugh.
I'll share your heavy load to let you
know I care.
I am reminded day by day we have much to share.
