In Loving Memory of Andrew “Andy” Cummings

We are deeply saddened to announce the untimely passing of Andrew “Andy” Cummings, who left this world far too soon on March 29, 2025, at the age of 36. His departure has left a void in the hearts of those who knew him, as his spirit and presence were a source of joy and warmth to all who crossed his path.

Andrew, lovingly known to friends and family as “Andy,” was the cherished son of Steven Thomas Cummings and the beloved brother of Delores Marie Cummings. Born and raised in the small, tight-knit community of Pleasant Hill, Ohio, Andy was the kind of person whose kindness, sincerity, and generosity touched everyone he met. Whether through a quiet word of encouragement, a lighthearted joke to brighten the mood, or his unwavering loyalty to those he cared about, Andy made a lasting impression.

A Gentle Soul with a Big Heart

Andy’s heart was as vast as the community he was a part of, and he showed time and time again that he valued relationships over all else. He had an innate ability to make those around him feel understood and supported, no matter the circumstances. It was not uncommon to find Andy lending a helping hand or offering a kind word, whether it was to a family member, a friend, or even someone he had just met. His sense of empathy, combined with his down-to-earth nature, made him a beloved figure among his friends and family.

Throughout his life, Andy was a steady and reliable presence. He had a way of making everyone feel like they mattered, and his friendships were built on mutual respect and unwavering loyalty. His dry wit, infectious laughter, and easygoing nature made him the kind of person you could rely on to lighten your day, no matter how heavy it may have seemed. Andy had an unparalleled ability to listen—really listen—and offer support when it was needed the most. It was this genuine care for others that drew people to him and made him a friend to all.

A Passion for the Simple Things in Life

Though Andy led a quiet life, his passions were simple but meaningful. He loved the outdoors, often finding peace in nature. Whether it was taking long walks through the woods or enjoying a quiet afternoon by a lake, Andy found solace in the beauty of the natural world. His appreciation for life’s smaller moments was evident in the way he connected with the world around him, always taking time to notice the little things that many might overlook.

In his free time, Andy could often be found tinkering with projects, exploring local hidden gems, or enjoying a good book. He had a particular fondness for the written word, and many who knew him recall his love of reading, whether it was fiction that sparked his imagination or nonfiction that challenged his worldview. He was always open to new ideas and ways of thinking, which made him both a curious learner and a thoughtful conversationalist.

His genuine interest in the world around him extended beyond his own life. Andy took great joy in giving back to his community, volunteering his time when he could and being a dependable and kind neighbor. He believed in the importance of community bonds and worked hard to nurture them.

Family First: The Heart of Andy’s World

The bond Andy shared with his family was unwavering and deep. His father, Steven, and sister, Delores, were the cornerstones of his world. Their love and support were a constant throughout his life, and Andy was known for his devotion to them. He cherished the time spent with his family, whether it was around the dinner table, during holidays, or simply enjoying each other’s company in quiet moments. Andy’s warmth, patience, and affection for his family were immeasurable, and he was always there for them, no matter what.

Steven and Delores can take comfort in knowing that Andy’s legacy is one of love, kindness, and generosity. Though the pain of his loss is sharp, they will forever carry the memory of his bright spirit and caring heart. They take solace in knowing that Andy’s influence will continue to resonate in the lives of everyone who was lucky enough to know him.
