Joseph “Joe” T. Andrews, 62, left to go chase wild women with halos, on Tuesday, July, 05, 2016. Joseph, a name derived from the Hebrew meaning “he will add”. This name bestowed on him was nothing less than perfect. Joseph was a loyal, honest, loving, and light hearted man during his stay on earth. Joseph was born on July 17, 1953 in Hamlin, TX to Rutherford Z. Andrews Teola M. (Bills) Andrews. A man of integrity that served his country in the U.S. Army where he became a disabled veteran. He was a brother, a father, a husband, and a friend to all. He left with us his quirks, smile, whimsical hair, and loving heart. Joseph was one of a kind and was slow to anger. He always took light of things and found humor in the smallest. Joe always thought he was hilarious even if others did not. He was always one to sit outside and enjoy a good conversation although he may have only heard half of it. His sound effects, eyebrow wiggling, and twenty dollar bribes will be missed. Joe also took on the role of a father and taught us patience and kindness. He was a helping hand to his family and to anyone that would ask. He is sorely missed and loved by his siblings, Sharon, Lloyd, Anthony, and Richard Andrews who proceeded him; his daughters, Kristal Eschete and Susan Deskins; son-n-law, Justin Eschete and daughter-n-law, Tiffany Deskins; three grandchildren, Tyler, Riley, and Reece; his former wife, Marilyn Andrews who he loved dearly.

The family would like to give recognition to the doctors and nurses at Cedar Park Regional Medical Center for the care and understanding that was provided for Joseph and his family. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Bernie Malone.
