Andrew Barry Aldred, 34, of Orlando, Florida passed away January 21, 2020. He was born August 6, 1985 in Orlando, FL to Barry Ivor Aldred and RoseMarie (Lombardo) Aldred.
Andrew was a native of Orlando, born and raised in Central Florida. Andrew had many friends and family that loved him and deeply cared for him. He lit up a room when he walked in. Andrew attended Bishop Moore High School and graduated from West Orange High School. Andrew attended Valencia Community College and graduated with an A.S. degree. He also attended Pfeiffer University with a scholarship playing Lacrosse and the University of Central Florida. His major was statistics with a minor in Finance. Andrew was fluent in French and took up such a love of the language because of a very special teacher at West Orange High School. His French skills served him well in the hospitality industry.
Andrew excelled in academics and sports. He ran Cross Country, Track & Field, Soccer, and Lacrosse.
Andrew left this earth too soon because of a substance abuse addiction. He fought his disease of addiction for many years, but sadly, as often is the case, the disease took over and ended his beautiful life at a very young age. Addiction doesn't just affect the person suffering with the disease, it touched all of our lives who knew and loved Andrew in many ways, but mostly left us with broken hearts and much sadness in every way possible. His daughter Adalynn and soon to be daughter, Audrey, will never know what a wonderful person their daddy was, and his Fiance' Megan and other family members will never see him be the successful productive human being, with the big heart, realize his dreams of working in Logistics as he so loved doing. He will be sadly missed, but we will find comfort in knowing that he will no longer suffer on this earth because of this insidious disease.
Andrew is survived by his beautiful daughter Adalynn, who loved her daddy very much, and use to skip daycare for Addy daddy days to spend at the waterpark. He is also survived by his beautiful Fiance' Megan, future daughter, Audrey, his mother RoseMarie (stepfather Robert), father Barry, sister Victoria, Paternal Grandmother Brenda Aldred and many aunts, uncles, and cousins here in the United States and England, as well as, numerous friends.
