Andrew Candelaria 44, born Dec. 10, 1979 of Melbourne Beach, FL found the peace he was always searching for but could never find here on earth. On June 27, 2024, he entered into the arms of his Savior.
If you never were fortunate enough to know him, more than likely it was because of his shyness. But those of us who were blessed enough to have had him in our lives, can tell you he was one of the most tender hearted, gentle, kindest, loving, men that ever walked the earth. His struggles were real, but he is at peace now.
There are no words to describe the void that we, his family, have with his passing. A void that nothing else will ever fill.
Andrew left behind his mother Lucinda Parsons (Myles O’Neill), his father Richard Candelaria (Karen Candelaria), his son Andrew (AJ) Candelaria, his brother Trevor Hester, his Grandfather Manuel Gonsalez, his Aunt Karen Brown, his Uncles Conn (Buzz) Gryczka, and Robert Candelaria. He also left behind many cousins, nieces and nephews, and special friends Anne Cloonan and Jami Hester. He was preceded in death by his Sister JuJohnna Hester, his Grandparents Conrad and Joan Gryczka, and Rosemary Gonsalez. Also 3 Uncles: Thomas Candelaria, Manuel Gonsalez and Michael Brown.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made in his name to His Place Ministries: 1824 S. Harbor City Blvd, Melbourne, FL 32901.
Our caring professionals are here to assist you and your family during this difficult time. We are available 24 hours, 7 days a week to assist in immediate arrangements or pre-arrangements.

Andy was my childhood best friend. Shy yes, funny absolutely, kind no doubt, forgiving always. I could never do wrong in his eyes. He’d protect me no matter what I did. Our friendship lasted into our adult years, then like most relationships.. faded away as we went on different paths. We would talk some times over social media but it’s been many years since I’ve seen him. This hurts my heart so much. If only we could go back in time and make more memories. I’ll love you forever. Your memory will never die in my heart.

Condolences to the family. I lived a few streets over from Andy as a teen. He was always a kind, laid back guy who loved to make people smile. RIP my friend.
