He worked for Crossfit Credence, where he was a Certified Level 1 trainer. He also worked part time at JETS Gymnastics in Rochester. He made tremendous impact on the lives of many around him. Andrew also had an Olympic Weightlifting Certification. He was an amateur MMA Fighter through PHF Karate in Mason City, IA. He was an avid athlete and was always willing to help others, whether it was through his church youth program or his students that he coached at Crossfit Credence in Rochester. He was a member of Praise Fellowship Church in Dodge Center, MN and was active in young adult church groups.

Andrew is survived by his mother, Lynn DeRaad, Dodge Center, MN; father, Troy Alan Sahr and stepmother, Susan Sahr, Norwalk, IA; siblings, Jacob, Hana, Caleb, and Elia Sahr; maternal grandfather, Leslie DeRaad, Dodge Center, MN; paternal grandparents, Garry and Shirley Sahr, Mason City, IA; and grandparents, Leo and Barbara Massman, Waverly, IA.
