Andrew Charles Stamper was my little brother. He lived for 28 years with us. He died too young. He was the sweetest little boy. He was always into something. He had fun in everything he did. Andrew had a way of making you laugh even when you were so disgusted with him. I could never list all the things we loved about Andy. He did some things we weren't proud of; but I still loved him. My heart aches knowing I will never hug him or tease him.
My boys were so faithful to pray for him. They told him every time they saw him that they were waiting for him to give his heart to Jesus. They prayed for him most everyday. They loved him very much. We do not have any confirmation that Andrew made things right between himself and God; but we have a hope because we know that we serve a great big merciful God. I prayed that morning with the boys on the way to school that God would make Andy miserable and to feel there was nowhere else to turn until he had a desire to turn his heart and life to the Lord. Andrew knew how sick he was and we know that God gave him every chance to get right with him. Andy did know what to do and that God was waiting for him to call upon His name.
Andy will be missed and I will always love him. A big part of me and mine will forever be missing. We will remember the good memories and cherish them forever. Hoping and trusting in God to be as merciful to me as he will be to Andrew Charles Stamper. I love you and miss you little brother.

Crying here. I am so sorry to hear about his passing. We were praying so hard for all of you. Connor's first question, when he heard the news, was, "Did he get saved?" We can only trust in our loving Father. We are here if you need anything. Love ya.
Praying for you and for your family.
