JOHN RICHARD ANDREWS, JR.John "JR" Richard Andrews, Jr. passed away from natural causes January 13, 2023, while visiting the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica at the age of 49.

A sports fan and a disciplined athlete himself, JR was an avid surfer who was sponsored at an early age. He also was recruited to be on the crew team at UW where he often served as the coxswain.

JR was a frugal minimalist but also generous. He was a kind gentleman, and he had a wise old soul and an infectious smile. He was true to himself and stuck to his own schedule, making the most of every day by doing what made him happy and enjoying those around him. He lived life to the fullest. One of JR's greatest joys were his friends, old and new.

Andrews, Sr., and wife Karen Studebaker Andrews; his mother, Marguerite Andrews; his sister, Mary Jung, and her husband, Michael Jung. JR is also survived by uncles, aunts and cousins.
