Andy W. Turner, age 44 of Mt. Airy, took his heavenly flight home on Friday, September 15, 2023, surrounded by his loving family.
Andy was born in Gainesville, Georgia, on January 17, 1979. Andy was a jack of all trades and could operate anything with a motor regardless if it had wheels, tracks, or other. He was the owner and operator of Turner and Son Grading, where he used his God-given skills to serve his many loyal customers alongside his son Wyatt. Andy’s greatest joys were his children and family. He proudly taught them and many other family members how to first ride a bicycle. Andy simply loved people and never met a stranger; he had the heart of a true servant. He loved his Level Grove Church family, where he enjoyed serving as an usher and co-teacher with his wife Beth in a young couples Sunday School class. Andy was preceded in death by grandparents Clay Beck and Hugh and Nellie Cantrell, brother Chance Cantrell, mother-in-law Gloria Quarles, aunt Diane Witherspoon, and uncle Dwayne “Punk” Cantrell.
