The community is in mourning following the sudden passing of Andrew “Pookie” Estes, who tragically passed away at the age of 36 while vacationing in Ireland with his wife, Rachael. Andrew’s unexpected death has left a profound void among his family, friends, and all who knew him.
Born in Adams, Massachusetts, Andrew attended Hoosac Valley High School before pursuing electrical engineering at Lakes Region Community College. He later settled in Auburn, New Hampshire, where he built a life with his wife Rachael and their cherished pets.
Andrew was known for his integrity, authenticity, and honesty. He was a person who always encouraged others to embrace joy and step outside of their comfort zones. Friends remember him as loyal, supportive, and full of life. His family, devastated by the loss of someone so young, described him as a person whose kindness and generosity left a lasting impact on all who encountered him.
A fundraiser has been launched to assist with the costs of bringing Andrew home from Ireland and supporting his wife during this incredibly difficult time. The outpouring of love and support from the community speaks to the profound effect Andrew had on those around him.
Andrew’s legacy will continue to live on through the love he gave, the friendships he built, and the unwavering integrity with which he lived his life.
