Andrew James Atkinson
January 1, 1989 - July 23, 2025
Funeral Details: A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
With heavy hearts we announce the unexpected passing of Andrew James, on July 23, 2025, at the age of 36.
Cherished son of Clayton (Jennifer) and Anne.
Beloved partner of Larissa, and proud, devoted father of son Jonathon.
Brother of Amanda, Shannon, and Belinda and loyal friend to many.
Andrew worked hard as a landscaper and found comfort in the simplicity of home life and comfort in quiet moments. A true homebody, he cherished peaceful days with his family and loved being outdoors, fishing with his dad and family. He had a cheeky sense of humour and often laughed at his own jokes, even when they missed the mark. A trait inherited from his Grandfather Ivan.
Andrew had a deep love and extraordinary compassion for animals, whether furry, feathered or even scaly. His love for the natural world extended far beyond his profession
He was a kind and helpful spirit, never hesitating to help a friend, co-worker or family. He gave freely, loved deeply and had a wonderful, gentle soul
Cremation has taken place. A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date so we can honour the man we knew and loved deeply.
In honour of Andrew’s love for animals, donations may be made to the Barrie OSPCA or Furry Friends Animal Shelter.
Online memories and condolences and messages of comfort may be shared with the family at www.peacefultransition.ca.
