Sad Goodbye
Earlier this month, our marketing director, Andy Caress, passed away after a 2 year battle with melanoma. Andy was only 24 at the time but those of us that knew and loved him saw a young man who lived a life more full than many who lived 3 times longer. A professional tennis player, Andy brought his sense of competition to work where we worked tirelessly to improve this website and our other projects.
Andy was most proud, though, of his efforts to raise awareness of the risks of skin cancer, including melanoma. He developed a foundation, raised money, donated to national research projects and helped thousands understand the need for better prevention and protection. You can see some of his efforts at www.mela-KNOW-more.org and www.andycaress.com.
Our firm hosted a memorial for Andy last weekend at one of Andy’s favorite spots, Hamburger Mary’s. His parents attended from Ohio where they hosted a memorial with 900 people in attendance. Later next month, Andy’s friends in Steamboat will hold an event at the tennis center. Andy changed so many lives and reached so many people, it’s hard for all of us to say goodbye. We’ll miss you Andy.
