Andrew Lamar Flores
"Drew"
November 22, 1970 – January 16, 2023
"Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal."

Andrew Lamar Flores, the loveable son of Geneva Lewis, was born on November 22, 1970, in Orlando, Florida. He resided there until 2004 when he relocated to Madison, Florida. He was affectionately known as Drew by his family and friends.

Preceding Andrew in death were his mother: Geneva Lewis and sister: Patricia Flores.

Andrew began his educational experience in the Orange County School District. Having missed the opportunity for graduating there, he did not give up on this responsibility. Years later, he proudly graduated from Suwannee River Ridge Technical High School in Live Oak, Florida.

Andrew made the choice to accept Christ in his heart during his younger days. As he grew in grace, he joyfully "praised God from whom all blessings flow", and he did so in spirit and in truth.

Drew was gifted with an appreciation of and love for music. He respected the many genres of music – from gospel to blues and everything else in between. Because he also enjoyed singing and playing the piano, he often displayed his talent on TikTok.

Andrew was a people person who easily networked with others in the community. He was one who noticeably established new friendships and working relationships on any given day. As the owner of Flores Detailing, Drew was able to combine his love for people and his passion for detailing vehicles.

On Monday, January 16, 2023, Andrew "Drew" Lamar Flores quietly and unexpectedly went home to be with the Lord. His passing leaves a void in the hearts and minds of many throughout the community. However, by keeping him in their hearts, his beautiful spirit will live on forever.
