I am Andrew's second cousin, the only time I was able to spend time with him was at his Grandmother's 80th birthday almost six years ago, he got up on stage and sang a very special song to his Grandmother, it touched me so deeply that he was so young and so thoughtful. My prayers are with all of his family.

It's amazing how easily we take things/people for granted. I was never blessed with the chance to meet Andrew, but from reading these entries, I can see how wonderful he was. When I heard the terrible news, my heart sank. Another opprotunity that was lost. I'm not much of a writer when it comes to things like this, but I couldn't stand not writing a few things down.
Mr. Kries + family,
I can't fully understand the pain that this brings you, but I do know how it may feel. I lost my older sister when I was only 2, but you at least had the pleasure to know him. Memories help keep the smiles on your faces and the stars in your eyes. My heart goes out to you. God bless.
A soldier lost, but never forgotten.
R.I.P. Andrew Sean Kries

I'M VERY VERY SORRY TO HERE ABOUT ANDREW! HE WAS A VERY NICE KID. IT WILL BE HARD TO EVER GET OVER HIS PASSING ON. HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTON. NO ONE COULD EVER REPLACE HIM IN ANY ONES HEART. HE WAS ALWAYS THERE WHEN YOU NEEDED HIM. NO ONE WILL EVER OVER COME SUCH A TERRIBLE THING. I CAN'T NOT SHED WILD TEARS OVER HIM. EVERY TIME WHEN I HEAR "WHEN I GET WHERE I'M GOING" I WILL ALWAYS ALWAYS THINK OF HIM. I WISH THE KRIES FAMILY THE BEST. MAYBE GOD NEEDED HIM MORE THAN US. HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE NOW.

I didn't know Andrew to be honest, but he seemed like a cool kid. I wish I could meet him. I was on vacation at Florida and my friend called me and told me the news that Andrew passed away, and I was in shock. Even though I didn't know Andrew, I got one thing to say to him: "We all gonna miss you kid. Rest in peace, Andrew Sean Kries."

well I will miss Andrew... to bring up a memory of him...its like the only memory I have of him but it was a great experence. We were all at the Robotics competition and Andrew started to tell me a story of when him and his friend(I really don't know his name) were in the woods and he threw a stick at him and it hit him and he was like ahhh. He started to laugh and everyone who posted and talked about his smile...it was a great smile... and when he laughed it was great it was so pure and genuine. I really will miss him.

hey buddy, It seems to surreal that your gone. But the band came up with a way to immortalize you forever (as if you didn't do that yourself already lol) Me and erik olsen started to write a song last night, it's dedicated to you if you haven't been able to tell. We hope you and your family enjoy it and we'll get it recorded As soon as possible. We miss you so much andrew.
Yesterday's Heroes- All Men With Honor
~Verse~
You were one of a kind
(One in a million)
And always a friend of mine
~Refrain~
We miss you
We miss you
~Verse~
The memories are priceless
(I'll always hold them)
I'll never forget this
~Refrain~
~Chorus~
All men with honor are kings
All kings with honor are gods
And forever
Held at the highest peak
Remembered forever in their essence
I hope that you get this
You were a king
You were a king
~Verse~
You were too young
You left us too soon
Your time wasn't done
~Refrain~
~Verse~
We'll remember your smile
Your wonderful laugh
Your dashing style
~Refrain~
~Chorus~
~Refrain/Outro~
We miss you (You were too young)
We miss you (We'll see you one day)
We miss you (But it's not soon enough)
We (for me) miss you (we miss you)

wow i cant believe you are gone. i remeber walking in to the cafeteria on Manday and hearing everyone talk about you dieing. every single person who came up to me and asked about you i told them it was a rumor and you couldnt be gone, that it was impossible. but it was true. you died on my birhtday. you were sooo awsome. you were always so funny. everyting you did you made at least one person or more laugh.
the last friday i got to spend with you was the best day. it seems so vivid to look back and see you.
i went to your viewing to go and see you one last time. and you didnt even look the same. i thought the hole time i was there it was a dream. or that maybe it was a joke or somthing.
last week when i was at school i kept waiting for you to come walking in through the doors, and show everyone that you were there. that maybe you were going to walk into the lunch room and come sit next to me or something.
andrew you will always be missed, and loved by everyone.
love you forever,
brianna

Andrew....
When I first heard about your I was like..woah !! I know I didn't know you, and I regret that now I never will, but I still wish that you didn't have to go the way you did. I heard that you were a silly kinda guy and that you always made people laugh and now that you're gone it's like WHMS will never be the same because of the
most funniest kid has gone. But you're not really gone....youre in the hearts of every person that knew you and some that didn't. When I went to the viewing with sister. who sat next to you in home room, she started crying before we even got to the door and I looked at her and tgen I started to tear and I couldn't understand why...but then it hit me...because of YOU I now understand that your NEVER too young to die no matter how wrong it seems. Time does heel the soul but that does NOT mean that you will be replaced in our hears because you NEVER will.
We miss you, Andrew, with all of our hearts

Andrew, although I never got the chance to meet you, I am deeply saddened by your passing. I am a student of your brother, Jason Kries, and I have heard so many wonderful things about you. I wish I would have gotten the chance to meet you because as I have learned from your brother and all of the messages on this site you are truly a wonderful person and will be missed. I was reading through the messages your family and friends have posted and you sound like a great friend, and awesome person all around. I hope you see how much you have affected everyone [down here]. You have made me realize that life can be too short and that we should make the best of it! When I heard the news it made me really upset because even though I didn't know you, I felt the pain that your family must be going through, and they are forever in my prayers! Wow 14 years is just too short, that is how old I am and now I know that I should enjoy life because it could be taken away from me just like it was to you!
I would like to send my blessings to the Kries Family, in hope that they will realize how, many people cared about Andrew! R.I.P. Andrew Kries

Dear Andrew:
As we sat in the church on Saturday, our thoughts were, "Impossible, this is all impossible...." Wasn't it yesterday when we laughed with you when you tried to convince your mother that you really - really needed a puppy like Jenny? You almost had her too!
You touched our hearts in ways only a person born with this gift could do.
Your a special soul. The memory of your golden smile and bright laughter will remain in our hearts forever.
Until we meet again,
The Nordstrom's

Andrew Sean Kries - I have tried several times this week to put into words what your passing has meant to my family and I, but could never seem to find the right words. You were my name sake, my cousin, and the emptiness I felt when we lost you could not be measured. We will miss you forever and will never forget. We will meet again.
With Love - Sean, Shannon, Brady, & Carter

I am saddened by your passing and wish I had had the opportunity to have known you in the light that everyone spoke of you yesterday. You will truly be missed in the family and by many, many friends!
Love, Debbie Sean, Sean, RJ, Ashleigh and Kayleigh

Dearest Andrew,
Although Scott, Zachary, Sarah and I did not get to know you as well as some of Scott's other cousins because we live in Virginia, I feel like learned so much about you the past few days. You truly touched hundreds of people in your short 14 years. You were a VERY special person that I regret not getting to know you more over the past few years. You and Zachary seem very similar and I know you would have been friends with your same interests with the outdoors and boyscouts. We are so very sorry that you left this world way too early. You were destined to go VERY far in this world and we will miss you but look forward to meeting up with you in heaven someday.
You will never be forgotten,
Sincerely,
Laura Nordstrom

Dearest Andrew,
Well, I can't believe it, but it's been a week since we received the call that you weren't feeling well and Jay and I rushed to the hospital to see you. We just dropped everything and jumped in the car because, as I hope you've always known, we love you so very much. And although I didn't think it was possible, we love and miss you more today than ever before. Andrew, I just want to leave you with a little something I wrote to read for you yesterday:
Andrew Sean Kries, loving, loyal, and true
Such a compassionate young man through and through.
You’ve touched so many lives in just fourteen short years,
And now all of those hearts are breaking, eyes filling with tears.
We already miss your “I love yous” at the end of every phone call
And the way you’d jump right back up after every single fall.
We miss our weekly family dinners, sitting around the table talking until late,
And because of your love for everything the way you’d say “Wow! Look at this! Wait!”
We miss your singing, your dancing, your laughter, your jokes, and that smile.
We miss your hugs and the way you could make everything okay for a while.
It’s rare that you find someone so special, full of energy, passion, curiosity, and love.
And I feel so blessed to have joined your family, my little brother, you were truly a gift from above.
Although we’re hurting and crying so because you’ve moved on,
Someone who’s touched so very many lives could never truly be gone.
So dear Andrew, we love you and miss you terribly, but this isn’t goodbye.
Each and every one of us will you keep you in our hearts and someday we’ll join you in the sky.
xoxoxo Love forever, Alyssa

To the Family and Friends of Andrew Kries.
Sometimes things happen and there is nothing anyone can say or do to make it better. It just takes time~~ time to cry, time to heal, time to be~~ And even though there isn't anything we can do for you right now, we are here for you always, care for you deeply., and hope you know that you're never alone. Andrew will always be in your hearts and in your thoughts cherish the memory. I know that we will.
