Andy loved life, helping people, and coming up with new inventions. He frequently spent time pursuing the next “million-dollar idea”. He was the type of man who never met a stranger and would give you the shirt off his back. Although Andrew was quiet, he was known as the “cool-cat” that everyone wanted to know and be around! He had a true love of music and enjoyed listening to instrumental, jazz and, his favorite, Blues. Andy accepted Christ at an early age, and attended Shiloh Baptist Church for many years. Always a hard worker, he held jobs at the Buick factory in Flint and with the State of Michigan and received his Associates Degree from Mott Community College . To pursue a better life and to provide for his family, Andy joined the United States Army. During his service, he lived in California and Germany before finding his way back to his heart city, Flint Michigan. Upon his return, his entrepreneurial spirit was strong, and Andy went on to establish his own business, Stitt Bail bonds, Inc. He also owned residential and commercial property in Flint. He is survived by his children Kimberly (Braxton) Young, Jodie (Gary) Dunn, Evelyn Booker, Terry (Mike) Mitchner, Anita (Frank) Harris, Andrea (Jerome) Lewis and JeQuin (William) Booker; grandchildren Braxton Young, Braydon Young, Bronson Young, Kaelyn Young, Eleazar Barzart, Antonio Barzart, Dominique Pollard, Eric Blackburn, Montez Blackburn, Rodrick Campbell Sr, David Carradine, Antaya Shaw, Jecquay Stitt, Rodney James Jr, Randy James, Antwan Lewis, Jerina Lewis, LeDonte Stitt, 30 great-grandchildren, sisters Doris Wright-Jones and Patricia Gilyard.
