Andrew Alan Netherton
    Andrew Netherton, 44, of Tipton passed away on Tuesday, January 12, 2021 while surrounded by his loving family. Andy was born on August 23, 1976 to his parents, Chester “Butch” Netherton and Judy (Parton) Netherton.
    Andy grew up in Tipton and graduated from Tipton High School in the Class of 1994. Through the years Andy served his community by holding jobs in law enforcement; he proudly followed in his father’s footsteps! He worked dispatch for the city of Tipton. He also worked as a jailor as well as 911 dispatch for the Tipton County Sheriff’s Dept. Andy was also a custodian for Tipton School Corporation.
    When Andy wasn’t working or spending time with his family you may have found him hunting or watching football or Nascar on television. He never missed an opportunity to root for Dale Earnhardt or watch Notre Dame Football. Andy also enjoyed cooking and grilling. He could make anything taste like it came from a restaurant…even ramen noodles! Just ask his kids!
    Andy was funny! He had a unique personality; often being the last to speak with the funniest thing to say. He was extremely loving and loyal. If he was your friend, he was your friend for life! Andy took on the role of protector in the lives of many throughout his life. He was simply one of those people who rooted for the underdog and would not hesitate to stand up for someone he believed in. His stature definitely made a statement, however those who knew him well knew the gentleness of his heart. He was soft spoken yet firm in his beliefs. His smile lit up a room, and he was often known for spreading encouragement and wise direction to those he cared for. Andy was an amazing man…father, son, brother, friend. He will be so greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him!
    Those left to carry on Andy’s legacy of love are his Mother, Judy Netherton; Daughters, Elizabeth Katherine (Corey) Bryant, Britney Lynn Netherton; Brother, Chester Butch (Shannon) Netherton Jr.; many Aunts, Uncles, Nieces & Cousins, as well as Ex-Wife, April Netherton. Andy and April’s marriage may have come to an end but thankfully, their friendship and dedication for one another never did.
    Andy was welcomed into Heaven by his Grandmother, Ruby A. Netherton, as well as his Father, Chester Butch Netherton.
