Andrew John Schmitz

We hold in our hearts Andrew John Schmitz, who has been lifted into the arms of God from Norco, CA on April 22nd, 2023 at the young age of 34. Andrew was born September 21st, 1988 to John and Laura Schmitz in the city of Orange. As a child, Andrew, who resided in Corona with parents John, Laura, and older brother Johnny, attended several elementary schools including Foothill, Vicentia, and Benjamin Franklin Elementary. Andrew also participated in sports as a kid, he played baseball and soccer. Later towards teenage years, Andrew became passionate about music and even picked up the bass guitar. He showed an interest in punk music in his teenage years and took after the style. As a teenager, Andrew continued to grow with his little brother Ryan and his baby sister Hannah and attended Corona High School at the time, however, decided to pave his own path from then on. Unfortunately, in early 2006, Andrew and his siblings lost their loving mother Laura Schmitz. Although he was grieving over the loss of a parent, Andrew tried to keep enjoying the things he loved. As a young adult, Andrew deeply enjoyed raves and desert parties as he would often share his stories and fascinations with his younger sister Hannah. Andrew has always been quite the character with unique interests; to name a few he was always passionate about staff spinning, jewelry making, and drawing. Andrew always appreciated the outdoors, he frequently enjoyed hiking and camping. After the passing of his mother years before and now his father, John Schmitz, in 2020, Andrew tried his best to stay close to Corona to support his siblings through a difficult time. As the brother of Johnny, Ryan, and Hannah Schmitz, we are sad to say that Andrew is no longer with us but in light, he will not be forgotten.
