Andrew John was born on November 14, 1991, in Orange City.
He is survived by his parents, Greg and Melissa Oolman; his brother, Geoffrey; his sister, Maria; and his grandparents, Cliff and Arlys Oolman and Milo and Kay Miesen, all of Orange City; and a great-grandmother, Margaret Des Camps, of Aberdeen, South Dakota.
Also grieving are his uncles and aunts, Lisa (Oolman) and Al Laird, of Orange City; Michelle (Miesen) and Craig Felix, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Michael "Tike" and Suzette Oolman, of Phoenix, Arizona; Mary (Miesen) and Skip McRoy, of St. Paul, Minnesota; and Michael and Michelle Miesen, of Des Moines.
Andrew showed great tenderness to his cousins, who miss him desperately: Matthew, Daniel, Olivia, Nicholas, Haley, Caleb, Brayden, Travis, Madelynn, Connor, and Samantha.
Many other family and friends are left to mourn. In his passing, Andrew gave the gift of life to up to 45 people, who have received his organs and tissues.
Andrew loved hunting and fishing, his friends, his Grandma Oolman's scotch-a-roo bars, and his Grandma Miesen's banana bread. We will forever miss the laughter that he brought to us all.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to ATLAS in Sioux Center.
