Andrew was born to AJ and Margarita Montes in Dallas, Texas, on June 17, 1948 and grew up in Grand Prairie, Texas. He graduated from Grand Prairie High School in 1966. He loved his family, football (he was a devout Dallas Cowboys fan), the Texas Longhorns and Notre Dame Fighting Irish, baseball, golf, traveling, wine, and being the life of the party. His sense of humor was one for the ages and he will forever be known as “Macho Man”. He was a loving father and doting grandfather. He worked as an engineer for offshore oil exploration for more than 50 years and his work ethic was untouchable. Andrew was loved beyond words and will be greatly missed by his many family members and friends throughout the world that he met during his years of traveling. Andrew was preceded in death by his parents, AJ and Margarita Montes; his sister, Consuelo Mendoza; and the mother of Alexis and dearest friend, Sharon Rose Parsons.
