Andrew John Vorwerck

Andrew John Vorwerck, known affectionately as Andy, passed away on July 2, 2023, at the age of 41 in Greenville, South Carolina. He was born on October 8, 1981, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Andy was a beloved son, father, brother, uncle, and friend, leaving behind cherished memories for all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Andy had a vibrant personality and a zest for life. He had a deep passion for sports, particularly the Cincinnati Bengals and Reds. Opening Day for the Reds held a special place in his heart, as it marked the beginning of a new season full of hope and excitement. In addition to his love for sports, Andy was a talented musician, finding solace and joy in playing the drums. But perhaps Andy's true calling was working with children in the dental field. He had a genuine love for his profession and believed that helping children maintain their oral health was his true purpose in life. Andy's kind and compassionate nature made him a favorite among his young patients, and he will be remembered for his dedication and commitment to their well-being.

Andy is survived by his loving children, Braden and Stella Vorwerck, and their mother, Brittnie Stooksbury Vorwerck. He is also survived by his mother, Carol Gratsch; father, John Vorwerck (Tammy); sister, Meghan Niezbecki (Michal); brothers, Zach Vorwerck and Chris Gratsch; and Nephew, Crew Niezbecki.

Andy was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ethel and John Vorwerck as well as Helen and Ken Rush.
