Andrew Tribes Jr.

"PawPaw Andy" had a passion for sports. He continued to root for his beloved Dallas Cowboys, far beyond their earned support. Andy cheered for the Houston Astros decades before he was able to attend their first championship ticker-tape parade in 2017. And that faded "8" sticker in the back window of his big red truck paid homage to Nascar driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. His greatest joy was watching his grandchildren excel in high school football, baseball, golf and ballet. Classic country and rock music were ever present, the soundtrack of his life.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 17, 2023 at Forest Lawn Funeral Home, and with burial to follow at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Beaumont. A Gathering of Family and Friends will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 17, 2023 at Forest Lawn Funeral Home in Beaumont.

Andrew was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew Tribes, Sr., and Ruby Opal Wilcox Tribes, sisters, Judith Hurst, and Betty Nolen.

Andrew is survived by his daughters, Kelly Morrison and husband Blake Morrison of Diboll, and Kristi Tribes Huggins of Beaumont, sisters, Priscilla Williams, and Lawana Tribes Stilley both of Bridge City, grandchildren, Kaleb Morrison and his wife Paige of LaRue, TX., Hannah Richard and her husband Andrew of Diboll, Tyler Spell and his wife Hillary of Nederland, Brady Spell and Kamryn Spell both of Nederland, and his two great granddaughters, Kelly Elizabeth Morrison, and Clara Spell.

Andrew will be greatly missed by all who knew him and loved him.
