Andrew John Naydihor (Kozel), a wonderful son, brother, uncle and friend, sadly passed away on Friday April 29th, 2016 at the young age of 27. Andrew was one of a kind, with a heart of gold. His smile was bright enough to light up a room. Andrew was born January 1st, 1989 in Kenosha to loving parents Tim and Kelly.
He graduated from Reuther High School and received a degree in welding from Gateway Technical College. Andrew loved music, from beautifully playing his guitar to attending live concerts; it brought him a lot of joy. He loved fishing and camping and nothing made him happier than sitting around a roaring bonfire with family and friends.
Andrew is survived by his parents Tim Naydihor and Kelly (Darrel Spicer) Kozel and by his brothers Nicholas Naydihor and Frank Naydihor of Florida and Matthew (Jennifer) La Duke of Kenosha. He is also survived by his uncles Victor, William and Robert Naydihor and Wally and John Kozel and by his nieces Destiny and Penelope. He will be missed by his loving friend Kaetlyn and by his lizard Benjamin.
Preceding Andrew in death were his grandparents Victor and Marguritte Naydihor and Chester and Gloria Kozel.
Andrew had a huge heart and was loved by all who knew him. He is no longer with us in body, but will always remain in our hearts.
Funeral services for Andrew will be held on Wednesday May 11th, 2016 at 7:00 PM at Kemper Center’s Founders Hall (6501-3rd Ave). A time for visiting with the family will be held from 5:00PM until the time of the service at Founders Hall.
