Andrew S. Gorman

Born on June 21, 1990 in Dunkirk, NY, Andrew was a beloved son, brother, and friend whose presence lit up every room he entered. He graduated from Southwestern High School in 2008, and went on to earn a degree in Economics from Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi in 2012. Andrew also spent time abroad in Costa Rica, an experience that deepened his love of nature and broadened his view of the world.

Andrew worked in real estate and was a natural-born entrepreneur, full of vision, energy, and great ideas. His mind never stopped exploring new possibilities, and he was always ready to take the leap into his next venture. His love for the outdoors was lifelong, whether he was out exploring or simply spending time in nature’s calm and beauty.

Andrew was an active member of his local church, where he volunteered regularly with meal distribution programs and was a dedicated member of the men’s fellowship group. His faith was a guiding force in his life, and he drew strength from his favorite Bible verse, Ephesians 6:10: ‘Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.”

Andrew was well known for his radiant personality, infectious smile, and unforgettable bright blue eyes, famously once described by President Bill Clinton as “the prettiest eyes” he had ever seen.

Above all else, Andrew was a fearless and loving leader to his nine younger siblings. His strength, guidance, and humor shaped the lives of those around him in ways that will be felt for years to come. He led with love, and he protected his family fiercely.

Andrew is survived by his parents, Regina Gerace, Todd Gorman, Joseph A. Gerace, and Michelle Gorman; and his cherished siblings, Tommy (Jenni) Gerace, Pippy Gerace (Nikki Friesen), Kyle Gorman, Joey (Katie) Gerace, Jacob Gerace, Mason (Hannah) Gorman, Michael Gerace, Mary Gerace, and Charlie Gorman.

He is also survived by his grandparents, Lorraine Johnson, Joseph Gerace, Mary Gerace, Georgia Ortiz, Henry Ortiz, Charles Brooks, and Dorothea Brooks, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who loved him dearly. Andrew is also survived by his beloved cat, Stella, who was a constant companion and comfort.

Andrew was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Pete Johnson and Robert Gorman, and by his cherished cat, Eddie, who brought him many years of joy and unconditional love.

His passing leaves a space no one else could ever fill, but his spirit will live on through the many lives he touched.

A memorial service will be held on May 17, 2025 at 10 am at Zion Covenant Church in Jamestown, NY. Friends and family are invited to attend and celebrate Andrew’s life.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Andrew’s name to the Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area, Inc. (New Braunfels, TX), who provided Stella with loving care and a safe place to stay during our family’s time of need.

Andrew will be remembered always for his courage, brilliance, and heart – and for the love he gave so freely to those around him.
