Patrick Francis McAndrew, 41, of Nashua, NH, passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 26, 2021 at Worcester Memorial Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts after awaiting and receiving a Liver Transplant. He passed away after complications due to surgery and cardiac arrest.
Born in Chicago, Illinois on March 12, 1980, Patrick is the son of Patricia A. (Field) and Donald F. McAndrew of Nashua, NH. He was predeceased by his brother Dan in 2004; as well as his grandparents and several aunts and uncles. Patrick is survived by his parents, Patricia and Donald; many cousins, and many wonderful friends and his cat Posey.
Patrick was a kind and sincere man who lived life on his own terms with a cheeky irreverence for normality. Pat graduated from Nashua High School, Class of 1998, and was a self-taught computer genius and electronic musician. He worked for Sun Microsystems right out of high school and went on to develop many complex systems for many companies in Boston and Manhattan.
Patrick was serious about electronic music. His knowledge of structure and the emotional response provoked by sound was worthy of a textbook for electronic music. Pat stood out as someone with a rare perspective and knowledge beyond his years; showing compassion, empathy, and always humor. He was truly loved and respected by his family, friends and coworkers. His love of life was infectious to everyone. Those who knew and loved him will never forget him. Rest in peace our dear son and friend as you join your brother in heaven along with all those who have gone before you.
