The world was blessed with Andrew John Casner on August 8, 1990, born in San Diego, California to his parents Brad Casner and Sue (Earl) Fromm. He was taken from us far too soon on Friday, April 19, 2024, as he passed suddenly.

Andrew was raised in Somonauk Illinois, graduating in 2008. Soon after graduation, Andrew enlisted in the US Navy following in the footsteps of his parents. Post boot camp Andrew completed training in Special Forces. This team led him to Qatar, Sadi Arabia and Philippines. He was decorated with The Joint Service Achievement Medal, Good Conduct Medal, The Navy "E" Ribbon, Surface Warfare pin and always held his time in active duty as a special time in his life. Everyone who knew him loved his contagious smile and sarcastic sense of humor. Andrew's extraordinary heart for helping others will always be remembered.

Andrew's Grandparents Jerry & JoAnn Casner, Somonauk, Illinois preceded him in death as well as Grandfather Don Straka of Goodyear, Arizona. He is survived by his Father Brad, Mother Sue, Sister Nicole Casner and Grandmother Patricia Straka. He leaves behind many friends and family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and step siblings.
