Andrew Ryan Lovell Elsea Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Andrew Ryan Lovell Elsea, 28, took flight on March 11 leaving this earth with so much life left to live and potential unfulfilled and arrived in the Arms of our Loving Creator. Growing up, Drew found joy in sports and video games. He would spend hours on the basketball court or in front of the t.v. with his friends. Drew’s laughter and smile were contagious.

Andrew is proceeded in death by his mother, Penny Sue Powell Elsea, grandmother Naomi Lougene Powell, cousin Matthew Tabor, grandfather Robert Elsea, and friends Ethan Glenn and Donovan Goodwin.
