I'm sitting here on a bench in the Mark N. McDermott Plaza at University of Washington. This bench has a marker:
"In loving memory of Andrew Carl Horning, 1982-2018." I knew nothing of this man but just read his obituary as I meditated on his bench. My heart has been touched by his energy, his brilliance, his love, and his commitment to life. I'm grateful I had time to sit here and acquaint myself with the memory he left among his family and friends. May we all desire to be a little better because of his example.

Andy was my best friend growing up. I loved him like a brother. He was a decent and giving person. His accomplishments were something to be proud of. I will truly miss him and the world is worse off without him.

I am Andrew's mother-in-law. I loved him.
I visited Andrew and Katie in August, flying from Dallas to see them for the first time since April. They asked me what I wanted to do with my scant two-and-a-half days with them, and I said "show me something beautiful."
They showed me how they had turned their apartment into a home, from the shelves Andrew had built in the closet to the outdoor mat Katie had found to create a second living area. They showed me a cool mountain stream, where we rested with our feet in the water as they indulgently listened to me babble about my interest in math I couldn't understand. They showed me the Rockies and talked about all the hikes hidden in the folds of the mountains.
But none of this was as beautiful as getting to know Andrew so much more deeply that weekend. I learned even more of his kindness than I knew before. I experienced his protective caring as he supervised my walk up and down the summit of Mt. Evans, where I really appreciated his help. And when he pointed out his favorite wedding photos, saying "this is one of the best, don't you think? You can really see how much Katie and I are in love," I could see that love in his eyes and hear it in Andrew's voice.
Andrew was a good man, I loved him, and I will miss him terribly.

I'm so saddened to hear about Andrew's passing. I had the pleasure of knowing him from his time as a postdoc at Los Alamos National Lab. I admired him as much for his generous character as for his outstanding intellect. My thoughts are with Andrew's loved ones.

The last time I visited with Su and her sons Andy and Wes in Texas they were living beside a lake near College Station and the boys were in high school. There was a large deck and lots of tall old trees near it. One day I happened to be watching a hole in the tree when I saw little owl eyes. Andy happened to be passing and I called to him to come see the baby owls. He was so excited - went for binoculars and the telescope to watch. He and Wes kept a check on them until they fledged. A wonderful memory.

Andrew setup one hell of an evening at a beerfest in Vienna a few years ago. We were unabashedly the loud Americans, and despite of Andrew's and Ilya's trash talk, we all learned that quiet Adam Leibovich is the true master of drunken mini-ping-pong. He was great to talk physics with, if you could keep pace with him.

Andrew was an extremely talented physicist whose passion and drive for challenging calculations was contagious. He made every one of our papers together substantially better, and made me a better physicist. His work is still being published and cited, and will continue to influence physics for years to come. His sudden departure is jarring and leaves a deep hole in our community and in our hearts. Yet it reminds us to appreciate the great influence he had on us as scientists and as human beings. I and all my colleagues miss Andrew dearly.

Andy was an awesome person. I knew him from high school and during college years in Austin, and got to know him as my next door neighbor for a brief time. I will never forget him for being a warm, fun, kind, and smart human being who loved The Simpsons. My heart is with all of you. I only imagine that Andy's spirit is somehow making connections out in that great vast universe that he loved to explore so much.

I'm so sorry to hear of Andy's passing.
I knew Andy from Austin. We were roommates for a year and shared many friends. Andy was a wonderful and kind fellow, as well as being a very sharp thinker.
I had not seen Andy for several years, but I remember many Austin winter nights spent around a fire, chatting about anything and everything.
He was a sweet fellow, and I will miss him.
My deepest condolences to his family.

I met Andrew over pizza and the Olympic opening ceremonies. We argued about beer and sports and whether Geology counts as a 'hard' science. I don't know how to describe it, but Andrew had a way of making people happy without giving them any slack. He could disagree without making it personal. And he could inspire without condescension. He brought out the best in those around him. And I wish I could have spent more time with him.
I will be forever grateful that Katie and Andrew had a chance to shape each other's lives. He was exactly what she needed in her life, and managed to be her everything just by being himself. I know she was the same thing for him.

Developing a friendship with Andrew and Katie was one of the great joys of our time in New Mexico. Andrew was the consummate dinner guest. He made me feel like an accomplished chef (which I am not) both because of his lovely compliments and excellent appetite. We were so happy for Andrew and Katie when they told us they were getting married because we admire them as individuals and as a couple. Sharing in the joy of their wedding day is a memory we will cherish forever. It was such a meaningful ceremony, taking place in the outdoors against a landscape they both loved. Our love and condolences feel insufficient in the face of this loss. It's incomprehensible.

I only had the pleasure of spending time with Andrew on a few occasions, most recently at my sister’s wedding. He was always kind and friendly and showed a love for having a good time with his many friends. It was clear on every occasion how much Katie and Andrew cared for each other, both so happy together. From reading the obituary, it is clear Andrew was a brilliant and exceptional man who achieved so much. I am so sorry that he is gone too soon. To Katie and his family, I am sending prayers and wishes for your comfort and strength in the days ahead.

Andrew, I loved seeing your wide smile on this, your first day of work at Kimetrica. I am so proud of you for how hard you worked to get this opportunity to serve humanity with your considerable talents. You deserved this honor of being lead data scientist of Kimetrica's data lab. I believe your heart was big enough to encompass the whole world.

Andrew, you are my best friend and only love. On April 21, 2018 we vowed to give each other our hearts completely and forever. You kept your promise to give me all the inhales and exhales life had to give you. I am eternally grateful to be your wife. We drank fully from the cup of life every day we had together. You told me this was your favorite photograph from our wedding day. I, too, will keep my promise - I will take care of myself and I will always love you, my dearest Andrew, a.k.a. baby baby.
