Andrew Charles Silva entered eternal life on April 2, 2020, after a
hard fight against cancer. Andy was the 5th child of 10 siblings born
in Key West, Florida on July 13, 1960.

As the son of a sailor, Andy moved to various coastal towns for the
first 8 years of his life, then settled in Jacksonville Beach, FL for
the remainder of his school years.

After graduation he ventured out west, married and had 3 children. He
was a foreman for a roofing company for over 25 years and later
started his own roofing company in Lake Havasu City where he
eventually retired. He enjoyed surfing, fishing, playing guitar,
making people laugh, beer and hot sauce, but mostly he treasured
family gatherings.

He had a huge heart and a positive attitude even through the struggles
of life. He loved life and would often sing "I'd rather feel pain than
nothing at all." He was a simple man loved by everyone.

He is survived by his son, Eric, daughter Aimee (Scott), daughter
Abigail and two grandchildren, Isabelle and Maximus. Brothers- Jerry,
Dan, Dave and Chris. Sisters- Marie, Holly, Darlene and Theresa, and
many loving in-laws, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by
his parents Manuel and Clair Silva, Brother, Joe Silva and Nieces,
Elizabeth, Jennifer and Cambri.

A mass will be held at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church at a later
date. Please consider donations for Hospice of Havasu. They made a
world of difference.
