Andrew James Byler, 36, of St. Joseph, Missouri, passed away at his home.

Andrew was a naturalist, endlessly curious, deeply dedicated, and in love with the natural world. At the time of his passing, he was pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at Missouri Western State University, and he was posthumously awarded his degree. He spent his college years conducting research with MoWest's biology department, and he was never more at home than out in the field. He will be remembered waist-deep in a pond or river, covered in mud, gently cradling a turtle or snake he'd just pulled from the water.

Andrew overcame a difficult childhood and built his own path in life through sheer determination and a strong work ethic. He was, in every sense, a self-made man. Those who knew Andrew described him as respectful, quiet, and highly reliable.

Andrew is survived by his mother, Claudia Byler, of Kansas City; his brother, Kenneth Leigh Byler (TJ), of Tampa; and his sister, Amanda Ann Gregory (JD), of Chicago. He was preceded in death by his father, Patrick Leigh Byler, and by the many beloved animals who shared his life.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Missouri Western State University's Biology Research Department in Andrew's memory.

Palabras de la familia, para Noe.

Muchos momentos compartidos y muchos más por compartir ni te imaginas el dolor y la brecha tan grande que dejó tu partida si estuviera en nuestra manos te traeriamos de vuelta a nosotros pero la vida es tan caprichosa que vio tu más grande logro y te nos arrebato de las manos pero eso no quita que dejemos de amarte siempre vas a ser nuestro hermano el BB de la familia el pedacito de hígado de mi mamá el tío que cosina las más ricas tortas de jamón y el hermano que siempre nos dió la mano cuando lo necesitábamos el mejor padre que pudieron tener 3 mosqueteros el mejor compañero de vida que le pudiste dar a tu Alma y el mejor hijo que aún que en bajas y altas estuviste ahi siempre vas a estar en nuestros corazones hasta la eternidad.

Te amamos infinitamente.
