Where do the time go ur laugh and smile is forever a cherished memory love u my friend 💖 🙏
Although much time has passed, I am remiss to say that I sadly discovered the sad only today, and I couldn’t not share my heartfelt condolences with Andrew’s family. I’ll confess, hearing of Andrew’s untimely passing was a shock to me, and one I’m still processing. And in confronting this news has come a flood of fond memories of times and experiences shared with Andrew throughout my formative years. Incredibly fond memories to be sure, and even more so, impactful ones. So impactful in fact, that although my move to Ontario took place 20+ years ago, several of the shortlist of most cherished memories which I’ve carried into adulthood included or starred Andrew. It goes without saying that today has been a very sad and reflective day for me – a sadness I will undoubtedly carry for some time to come.
I will forever cherish my fond memories of Andrew, and draw upon them often. Andrew brought such joy to so many people’s lives, mine included. In fact, Andrew was the first boy to gift me a piece of jewelry. I still have it – a pretty gold chain and charm. I remember opening it in his parents basement at Christmas, so vividly as if it were yesterday. Andrew’s kindness, gentleness, sense of humour, and overall joy for life will forever remain in my memory. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins, for bringing such an incredible person into this world, however short his time with us was. His legacy will forever live on.
Dear Glenda, Barry, Matthew and family,
We were so sorry to hear of your dear Andrew’s death. We remember him as such a kind, considerate and talented soccer player, as well as a super older brother to Matthew. Our memories of your lovely family are still in our hearts.

Barry, Glenda, Matthew and Aimee,
Words cannot express the sorrow we feel , our hearts are truly broken over the passing of Andrew., so we join in your sorrow and send our deepest condolences .
There’s been a bittersweet roller coaster of emotions, circling us these days, as we try to imagine the void, Andrew leaves in our lives while at the same time filling our hearts with memories that live on!
We have great memories of Andrew when we lived in Portugal Cove, the countless hours he spent at our house with the boys and the many years of soccer! Andrew, just didn’t come into our home he came into our hearts- we loved Andrew. We knew he had great potential to do anything he wanted and be successful! Andrew was an influencer and I often said that he was a leader among leaders but he doesn’t know it- you see Andrew led out of a place of serving not ruling, because of his humble spirit!
In 2014 I( Joan) encountered Andrew ,not by chance, but by fate we had a beautiful meeting. I was elated to see him and he still beamed that infectious smile!!! He took life seriously but not himself. I learned of some of Andrew’s challenges that day and reassured him he will overcome and he did!!! We stayed in contact on and off. I was proud of all his hard work and determination that paid off!
Andrew loved deeply, especially his parents and best bud Matthew! Andrew loved people of all walks of life, he seemed to know everyone – he truly was an ‘old’ soul! No matter what Andrew had he would freely give it if he knew there was a need!
Andrew now leaves a legacy of knowledge and memories , to those he impacted daily, along his journey – while it was brief his life definitely had purpose!
I believe Andrew’s life is clear evidence of this ….
” You can’t go back and change the beginning , but you can start where you are and change the ending.” C.S. Lewis
Loved dearly and missed but never forgotten.
Glenda, Barry & Famiky. We are so so sorry to hear if your young sons passing ….know this is a very difficult time for you all. We wish you inner peace and strength as you move forward with the cherished memories of your beloved son Andrew.
Glenda and Barry……. What can I say? It is not fair that Andrew was taken much too early, So very sad to see him go. My heart aches for you and Matthew.
Love and wishing your comfort……John Flood
Glenda and Barry, we were deeply sorry to learn of your dear son’s untimely passing. We send you and your family our most sincere condolences. Gerry and Alice, Nova Scotia (formerly of Topsail)
My deepest sympathahies to all the family, I am truly sorry to hear of Andrew’s passing, a great guy and a true competitor to play against on the soccer field.
I never know what to say in these circumstances. Even more so now as Andrew was such an amazing person. I can only imagine the pain everyone must feel right now. I am so sorry for your loss.
I met Andrew when he applied to adopt one of my foster dogs, Bricklin. I tend to be very protective of my fosters. It’s hard not to when you live with and fall in love with them. And Bricklin was with me for over a year. But it soon became clear from my conversations with Andrew that he was the perfect match for my big cuddly lug of a pup. Seeing the joy they brought each other after he arrived confirmed it was the right choice. I loved hearing the many updates since and exchanging a plethora of pics and video. As a foster mom, seeing how happy they both were really helped me adjust to Bricklin’s absence. We would talk for hours and hours about Bricklin and it was through these conversations that it became clear what a close circle of friends and family Andrew had. I loved hearing him burst with pride after he introduced Brick to each person he was close to. It was so heartwarming. And I could feel the love even from far far away. He was such a genuinely nice loving person. So easy to talk to. So sweet. I will miss those conversations. It’s so hard to imagine I’ll never receive another Andrew/Bricklin cuddle pic to brighten my day. I am glad for the time that they had together. He loved Bricklin every bit as much as I do, and as a foster that’s the best you can ever ask for. Andrew will be missed by so many. My heartfelt condolences to his friends and family.
Glenda and Barry,
Words cannot express the deep sadness we are feeling for this sudden loss. We wish we could be there in person to let you know how much we are thinking about you and your family.
Sadie and Tony
Dear Glenda, Barry, Matthew, Aimee

Please accept our sincere sympathy. Love and hugs. Sue and Michael Murray
I can’t imagine what you are all are going through and only wish I could offer some words to wash away even a tiny morsel of your sorrow. My husband, Jeff, and I met Andrew when we were asked by Sit With Me Rescue to do the home visit that ultimately gave the green light for Andrew to adopt Bricklin. We knew within minutes of meeting Andrew that he was the perfect fit. So welcoming; an open book; not pretending to be someone he wasn’t. He had a friend pop by unannounced during the home visit and instead of turning them away he invited them in for us to meet. We could tell that Andrew had a heart bigger than anyone I ever encountered. I am so happy to be a small part in his story with Bricklin. Andrew and I kept in touch since that day and his love for that pup grew stronger each day that passed. He spoke so highly of his entire family and was very much in love with Jennifer and her children. My heart has ached for you all since hearing the news. Please know you are all in the thoughts of so many people….Andrew was a bright light in this all to darkened world….that is a true testament to his family and the people he surrounded himself with. Sending prayers, Darlene and Jeff Hopkins.
Barry and Glenda,
We are saddened to hear of Andrew’s passing. Although it has been many years since those Under 15 soccer days, I often think of that talented young man with the uncanny nack for finding the back of the net.
Please know that Dee and I have you in our thoughts.
Les and Dee
Barry Glenda and Matthew.
So sorry to heard of Andrew’s passing. We definitely can say we know how you feel as we lost our darling daughter at the young age of 30. Someone once wrote that when a husband looses his wife he becomes a widower, When a wife looses a husband she becomes a widow, but when a parent looses a child there is no name for it because it is that bad, People say that time heals but, I always say new memories are created. Stay strong and yes life does go on. We are in Florida but our thoughts are with you.
So sorry to hear this sad news, thinking of you all at this difficult time. Take care!
Glenda/Barry…was saddened to read of your loss…my condolences to you both…
Glenda and Barry. So sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved son Andrew. Keep the memories in your hearts forever and cherish them always. I am thinking of you in this terrible time. My sincere condolences
Glenda and Barry: Andrew was always special to us. Our memories of him go back to his childhood in Portugal Cove when you lived across the road. When we brought Joseph home from St. Clare’s Hospital, Andrew was his first visitor and was also the first person to hold him outside the family and hospital staff . We spoke about that often over the years . I can still see it in my mind.
Your grief has to be unimaginable. We are all thinking of you as you go through this difficult time.
Joe and family

Barry, Glenda, & Matthew,
I’m so sorry to hear of Andrew’s passing. I am thinking of you all during this unthinkable time.
So many beautiful childhood memories come to mind. The most reflective of Andrew has to be the time Paul put gum in my hair during a boat tour of Western Brook Pond. I was so upset and embarrassed and Andrew went out of his way to comfort me.
He was kind and compassionate to everyone. It was his superpower and it will surely be his legacy.
Glenda and Barry, we are very sorry to hear of Andrews passing.

To Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins, Matthew and Family,
I cannot begin to know how you are feeling at this very difficult time. Andrew was such an inspiration to so many people. I have seen that in the many posts I have read in the recent days. To me he was my best friend, we played in the back yard made mud pies, threw mud at each other, he was my protector from the bullies, we fought, we laughed, we cried, sometimes he made me cry. Like most of those childhood friends we grew apart. I remember all the hours I spent watching him play soccer…he was the best. I was lucky to have known him. He always held a special place in my heart.
We did cross paths in the past 20 years and I was always met with a hug and a smile and a remember when story. He was such a strong a feisty guy, full of charm, determination, and strength. He showed that everyday. He overcame obstacles and challenges that most would walk away from and helped others along the way.
He will be missed by many. I will miss him.
Rest easy buddy.
Amanda Stapleton (Janes)

Cyril and Linda
Barry, Glenda, Matt and Aimee I don’t even know where to start. Andrew had really become a part of the Wyatt family over the past few years. I can’t remember being at any of our family functions and not seeing him there. He was one of the most welcoming, kind hearted and genuine people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. We will miss his big smile and larger than life personality, and Kelsi will miss her buddy.
Take comfort in all of the good he has done, and your treasured memories. You are all in our thoughts.
Dear Wilkins family,
Please let me join Andrew’s legion of supporters in offering most sincere condolences at this difficult time. Even though we had not been in regular contact since high school (where I was in awe of his soccer talents and he and my brother, Jeremy, were good buds), I was fortunate enough to catch up with Andrew a few times since 2014. His love for his family and life was so obvious in our chats, and he made had a special way of making people feel comfortable immediately. I feel lucky to have known him. Let us cherish the memories and may he rest in peace.
Sincerely,
Dear Glenda and Barry,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Glenda, you once said to me… “Andrew is a beautiful young man”, I never forgot that!
Words can not express the sorrow we feel. Our heartfelt condolences to you, to Matthew and Aimmie and to Andrew’s special friend Jennifer. Indeed to all your extended family.

So sorry to hear of Andrew’s passing. I met Andrew way back at St. Lawrence elementary. Although we weren’t close as we grew older I’ll always remember his skill on the soccer field.
I went to school with Andrew and he was always so funny and fun to be around. I have heard from many of our old school friends over the past few days and even though some of us haven’t spoken to Andrew in years, we are just devastated by his passing. He told me back in high school I was his dream girl haha He was just so sweet. I’ll always hold a place for him in my heart. As I know he will to everyone who met him.
My deepest condolences to Andrew’s family, huge circle of friends, and all those who were lucky enough to be a part of his life.. He made everyone feel welcomed in his presence and was always there to help anyone that needed it. I will miss his sweet smile and our chats and jokes when I visit the shop! You will be missed Andrew xoxo
Matthew, Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins:
My heart breaks for you all at this difficult time. I feel so lucky to have spent so much time at your house throughout my teens. I can only hope my two little boys are as close as Matthew and Andrew were growing up. You are truly an amazing family and I always felt a part of that in your home. I hope the wonderful memories you have of Andrew keep you strong in this difficult time. Sending all our love to you. Kathy, Shawn, Cooper and Rhys
