Andrew Cyr

Andrew Bryan Cyr, 31, cherished son of Brian D. Cyr of Ellington and the late Abigale Cyr, passed away unexpectedly at his home in Tolland on Thursday, August 17th. Born August 6, 1986, in Rockville, Andrew lived most of his life in Stafford and Tolland. He was a graduate of Tolland High School and, at the time of his death, had been employed by L. Markese Construction of Wethersfield.

Besides his father, Andrew is survived by his stepmother, Catherine Stephenson; his beloved sister and best friend Annelyse Cyr of Tolland and her partner John Botts; his darling niece and nephew, Adarrah Botts and Winter Bailey; and his stepsister Nicole Piacitelli. He was predeceased by his sister Stacy Cyr.

Supporting him always throughout the challenges he faced in life were his aunt, Nancy Appleby and her husband Scott; his cousin Christie Appleby and her husband Craig Dietz; and his uncle, Well Lindsay and his wife Marty. He also leaves many cousins, aunts and uncles, including Brent Cyr, for whom Andrew was like another son; Sandi Alicandro, Crystal and Mark Zdanis, Brenda and Jay Lush, and Joy Cyr.

Andrew will forever be remembered as a devoted and loving son, brother, uncle and friend. He was smart and charming, with a terrific work ethic and a wonderful, witty sense of humor. His passing is a heartbreaking and incalculable loss to his family who loved him deeply and supported him throughout his short life.

A gathering for Andrew’s friends and family will be held at the Tolland Arts Center, 22 Tolland Green, on Friday, September 1st, from 5:00-8:00 p.m.
