Andrew Algren Obituary

Andrew William Algren passed away at home in Chicago on the evening of November 15, 2018. Andrew loved life, his parents (Mark and Kathy Algren, Columbia, MO) and extended family, his fiancée (Emily Spain, Chicago), and a multitude of friends and acquaintances, all of whom mourn his passing and miss his jovial presence and bear hugs. Andrew would be as delighted about the joyous gatherings in his memory as he would be upset about being unable to attend. A memorial service in being planned for early 2019 in Lawrence, Kansas. Details will be announced later.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
