Andrew Albert Moes
On January 1st, 2012 Andrew Moes passed away suddenly near Kamloops BC at the age of 25. He is survived by the love of his life Katie Morgan, his loving parents Rick and Chris Moes of Woodstock, Ontario, his brother Eric (Karis), his sister Sarah (Kevin), his best friend Chris and his precious pooch Layla.
Andrew’s cowboy boots and anything plaid were his attire – Carhartts a must. He called himself Uncle Awesome to little nephew Ethan. The great outdoors defined Andrew as a person. He was a man’s man from taking apart his dirt bike in the guest room to starting his four foot chainsaw in the kitchen. He had all the toys every guy would want and whether he was on his quad, his skiis or his truck, he was always looking for his next big adventure.
For Andrew life was an adventure, no issue was ever too big – he took everything in stride and with a bit of humor. He taught everyone around him the importance to relax about the small stuff and to plan for the big picture- the future. No matter where he went or what situation he was in he always met people with kindness and a huge warm smile.
A Celebration of Andrew’s Life will take place on Saturday, January 7th, 2012 at Summit Drive Baptist Church, 1975 Summit Drive, Kamloops V2E 2K7 at 11:00 am followed by a lunch. All are welcome to join and feel free to bring a little bit of Andrew whether it’s in plaid, boots or a story.
He touched the souls of many, changed the lives of others and will
be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
Dear Katie and Andrew’s family,
I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of Andrew. Although I only new him for a short time I will always remember his great smile and his warmth. He always had time for a cheery hello and had a way of making a person feel good.
Katie, I remember one day Andrew was telling me about your equestrian accomplishments and desire to start your own equestrian buisness. He stated very proudly ” If anyone can do it, it will be Katie.”
I hope you will all find some peace and comfort very soon.

Dear Family and Friends,
My deepest condolences to everyone who knew Andrew. He was someone that once you met, you would always remember. He had a certain ability to make you feel as though you had been long term friends the second you met him. The minute he entered a room, all eyes would be on him, he had a special soul which will live on forever. He did live his life to the fullest and will be remembered always. My heart still aches for everyone who lost him. May you all find comfort in each other during these difficult times.

I just wanted to let you know that my heart, thoughts and prayers are with all of you right now. Andrew will always be remembered as a fun and loving person. I remember all of the gatherings held at your home whether it was for polishing boots or a baby shower for a 19 year old. Andrew and I would always have a great time together as our big brothers lovingly excluded us from their best buddy club. Andrew was such a beautiful person and he is being remembered all over the world.
