Andrew Cyril Nolen, better known to loved ones as "Andy", Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church on Tuesday November 3, 2026, at the age of 73. Preceded in death but reunited in Heaven with parents Julius A. and Adele, nee Beman, Nolen. Survived by beloved older sisters Marilyn (Dean R.) Ewing, Roberta (the late Lawrence M. Jr.) Wilson, and Francene (Dennis) Ewing. Dear uncle, great-uncle, and great-great-uncle to many; cherished cousin to many; and treasured friend to innumerable.

Andy was born in St. Louis, Missouri, joining his loving family in May of 1953. Following his graduation in 1971 from St. John's High School, Andy attended Rankin Technical College where his passion and skills as a mechanic were established and honed. Andy was employed as a mechanic by Bi-State Transit for forty years, which spoke not only to his dedication to his career, but also to his community and their safety.

Throughout his life, Andy was known for his endless generosity and incomparable kindness. Andy never met a stranger and would have shared his shirt off his back as easily as he shared his positivity. He was affectionately known as "Uncle Andy" to many in his life, as his loving and altruistic nature invited anyone that he met to feel like family.

Andy touched many lives through his open heartedness and attention to others' safety. We mourn our loss of a treasured soul and channel of God's love, but we celebrate that he is united with the Lord. May Andy rest in eternal peace.
