"Andy is responsible for creating products many told us were impossible. Well, to quote Capt. Malcom Reynolds: "We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty"." 
- Julian M.

We invited colleagues, friends, and fans to share their memories of Andy:

"I was cleaning up my inbox a few weeks ago and discovered my copy of "QMx Insider - Issue 1.0" from Andy, sent back on January 16th... 2007! Featuring highlights of the Serenity Money Packs, BSG dog tags, and Mal pistol update."
- Marty R. 

"I worked for QMx for six months in 2012 - Andy took a risk on me during a difficult time in my life, and although it didn't work out long term he stayed in touch for some time afterward. I will always remember his kind, supportive nature. I hope everyone at QMx is doing well."
- Ben

"He was always a very kind and thoughtful guy."
- Julian H.

"Despite only seeing Andy speak once during a Q-Con event, I felt like he could have befriended anyone he met. His passion was undeniable, overtly tangible, and contagious. He had some awe-inspiring visions that I'm grateful he was able to share with us. Rest in Peace, King."
- Millenio M.

"Miss you, Andy. Thanks for being a terrific mentor and friend."

- Jill G.

"Andy gave me my first shot into publishing my designs. He was a true fan of the work he put out and I’m so grateful for the space he created in geekdome for others to get to create in. Rest easy Andy."

"Andy was responsible for giving me my start as a professional designer, and I’ll always be grateful to him. Rest in peace."
