Happy Birthday dad! This past year has been a tough one without you here, mom and I share memories about you every day. We miss your smile, your laugh, your wisdom and your love. I love you dad!

We share the feelings of all Andrews friends and co-workers. We had the privledge of having the Ochoas as next door neighbors for 5 or 6 years. No could have had better neighbors. We got to watch Stephan grow up and finally get his drivers license and help provide parking for the many, many family, cousins and nephews that came to enjoy the 4th of July at his house. Our driveways were joined and shoveling the snow was a horrible chore during one blizzard when we shared 32" of white partly Colorado cloudy. It took the 5 of us 3 days to dig out and Andrew smiled throughout the entire time. What a wonderful man, so full of grace and happiness. The Lord he shared sparkled in his eyes constantly. A real inspiration and gracious neighbor, we'll miss him until we can meet again. Thanks, neighbor, Tom and Barbara

I’d known Andrew since 2006 when my wife and I started attending the same church he was at. Like so many have said he smiled constantly. He always checked to see if we needed anything. He prayed with and for us. When we moved in 2020 further south in Colorado and had to change to a closer church he still texted us on our birthdays or at other times just to see how we were doing. A caring, loving person and man of God. I’ll see you at the Rapture Brother Andrew!

So many things to be said about this wonderful, caring, kindhearted, Christian man.  I had the privilege of knowing and serving in the ministry alongside Bro. Andrew and his precious wife. He was a true  representative of Jesus here on earth and always made time for others, no matter what! Bro. Ochoa was a mentor to my family and myself and even though I was no longer attending the same church as him, he showed up at my Dad’s home in 2015 to pray with and for my Dad as he was in home hospice. His prayer was powerful and comforting and I will always appreciate him for coming to the house that day. The last time I seen Bro. Ochoa was last Easter at church. He made my children and myself feel so welcomed and loved as if we had never left. I can go on and on about this precious saint, but there’s no doubt  in my mind that he is resting peacefully. Thank you, Bro. Ochoa, for your sincere kindness, care and love, you will be missed.  Prayers and hugs for Sis. Josie as well as the extended family. We love you.

To Josie, Danette and I are deeply sorry for your loss. We are praying for you. God Bless You. 
To the immideate family, friends and his church family we send our prayers, condolences the same.
Andrew and I go back to the early 60's 5438 N. Downing. 
I have to say, I am not at all surprised to hear all these great words about Andrew. He was a wonderful man in many ways. 
His teachings will never die on earth.
 Knowing Andrew since we were kneehigh to a grasshoppper I would see him just running into him in random places. We would laugh and wave, I will miss that. 
 My wife and I attended Landmark occasionally, and we did bible study here at our home. Andrew liked his coffee and would count 1-2 for cream, so when he had his coffee alone he told me he remembered us and said a prayer for us as he had his coffee. 
One time through prayer on a Sunday 5/21. Andrew prayed with my wife. In that prayer the Holy Spirit drew my wife to be born again Christian and was baptized. 
We were also reminded by Josie that Andrew kept a card we gave him of us in his bible! that was special to us. 
On Sunday mornings we came to service Andrew told me that he would look out for us from where he would sit and make sure he come down to give us a welcoming hug without fail. 
Andrew was always there. One time Andrew sent me a txt "I Love you. I didn't know if he sent this to the wrong person or? but that was him actually. Very loving man. I could go on and on about the influences Andrew had on us. And I see that he touched many others in his own way. 
We Love you Andrew, we will miss you........, until we see you again God willing, We Love you always! Joseph and Danette Lopez

I had the privilege of working with Andy for many years. Andy always performed his job with the highest level of professionalism and competence. He was one of the kindest people I have known, and my heart was broken to learn of his passing. I am grateful for the great conversation I had with him a few weeks prior. My thoughts and prayers are with Andy, his family, and friends. You will be missed, Andy!

Ochoa Family,
What a loving soul! Brother Andrew was there for our family in our time of spiritual need, through his powerful prayers before my mother took her last breath here on earth. He reached out to us with his big heart as he requested to be there for (as he put it) sis Della.
We were blessed to have crossed paths. 
You are all surrounded by God's love!

Sorry for your loss!  God will comfort.  I remember Bro Ochoa always a nice smile.

Andy was one of those people who was well respected and loved.  He always took the time to help and had a ready smile for anyone.  Whenever he heard of someone who was going through a difficult time, he would always say he would pray for them and then follow up later to find out how the situation turned out.  He had a gentle, calming nature that was incredible with the complex projects we worked on and sorted out issues.  What a blessing and honor to have known him.  I will miss him!

I had the absolute honor of working with Andy for about 4 years and during that time, I learned a few things about him. First of all, you would be hard pressed to find someone with a bigger heart. Andy truly cared about those around him and was a large support system for many people at our company. Secondly, Andy had a sweet tooth and we shared a love of pastries. It made me happy to know that I had a partner in crime in that capacity. And finally, Andy was an early bird! He always beat me and many other co-workers into the office, but always had a smile at the ready for us when we arrived.  I miss him tremendously and pray that he is at peace.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. I loved talking to Andy about North Denver, and about the best green chili and Mexican food in Denver.  He was a very caring person and loved his family.  He will be missed, but I am so glad he knew the Lord. See you another time Andy!

My dear Brother in law will be greatly missed.  He touched so many lives.  He was always such a great person to be around.  I will miss him so much, he was always so attentive to his family.  He has finished his course here on earth and he is now resting in peace.  We will see him again.❤️

Any time work got rough, myself and another coworker would go straight to Andy, not only because he was good to talk to, but because he always had the good candy at his desk. Got to the point where he kept the special stuff out of public view until we got there. Andy was always ready to help on many problems that would come up. I'm pretty sure he helped save the company a time or few.  He was one of the few people at Ball I was truly sad to say goodbye on my last day.  His calm and cool demeanor spoke volumes and he was someone I always wanted to be around. It was devastating to hear of his passing and my heart goes out to his family. He really was a special man and I'll miss him.

Our deepest condolences to sister Josie and son Stephan…And the entire family.  What a tremendous loss for all.  So very unexpected and sudden…But no doubt he is at peace and in a better place awaiting the day we are caught up in the clouds together with him and many other saints who’ve gone on before us, to meet the Lord in the air and be with the Lord forever together!  Until we meet again, brother Ochoa, you will be so missed.  We are grateful for the time spent with you and for your love and prayers, encouragement , and the mentorship you gave to so many.   🙏🏼

To all of Andrew Ocoa’s Families  May God Give All Of You Peace, Comfort and Strength At This Time Of sadness. May He Wrap His Loving Arms Around All Of You and Keep You All In His Tender Loving Care. Andrew Is Now Resting  In Peace With Jesus In A Heavenly Place Where There Is No More Pain No More Suffering.
