Liam Andrew St. John

Liam (Andy) Andrew St. John, of Columbia, Maryland, was born on June 13, 1974 and passed away tragically on April 24, 2021. He was a Registered Nurse at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland, though he began his nursing career at University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio to Evelyn Cecilia Caro (also a Registered Nurse) and Christopher Bruce St. John. He was a diehard Cleveland Browns (GO BROWNS!!!!) fan and avid Washington Capitals fan. He was dedicated to his family, friends, career in nursing, and the company and care of animals. He put others before himself and stood for what he believed in and in doing the right thing. Over his life he touched people in different ways. Once you met him he had a place in your heart and you would never forget him, whether it was his compassion or sarcastic humor. Liam is survived by his wife of 20 years, Heidi; daughter, Michaela St. John; son, Colin St. John; and brother, Matthew (Jean) St. John. Other family include Gary and Gudrun Kahler, Kate Kastelic, Jennifer (Randy) Buckle, Thomas Kahler; Elke (Brian, Bec, and Cora) Laatz, Brian St. John, Matthew St. John, and beloved Aunts, Uncle, Cousins, and close, family-like friends. He is preceded in death by both of his parents. Family has elected to hold a memorial service and celebration of his life on his birthday. In lieu of flowers, an AORN Foundation scholarship has been set up (details below). In addition, a GoFundMe (https://gofund.me/12a7f12c) has been set up to provide for Liam’s children and their college educations.
