Obituary for Andrew "Andy" Raymon Higginbotham
Andrew ("Andy") Raymon Higginbotham was born in Jackson, Mississippi on May 25, 1991. His parents are Janet Wintrone Howard and Ronald Scott Higginbotham. Andy met his Savior in the early morning hours on August 20, 2022. The Lord allowed him to pass very peacefully in his sleep. After Andy left this earth, his wife, Georgia, delivered their son just under 48 hours later. Oh what a beautiful example of the circle of life!
Georgia and Andy became husband and wife on April 9th of this year in a beautiful setting on Lake Bruin, Louisiana. Andy worked as RN Supervisor at The Madison Health and Rehab in Madison, MS. He took so much pride in his work and labored diligently to make sure residents were well taken care of. He loved and had much respect for his co-workers. Andy graduated from Ridgeland High School in 2009 and finished his education at the University of Mississippi where he graduated as a RN, BSN. Nursing was his passion.
This gentle giant will be greatly missed by so many. His friends affectionately called him "bear." His smile would light up the room and his personality was larger than life. Andy was known for his humor and quick wit. Once you met him, you never forgot him! It was his nature to make friends easily and never meet a stranger. It is no surprise that nursing and caring for others became his life's career.
Andy trusted Jesus as his Lord and Savior and sealed his eternity. It is that assurance and hope that we lean on and know that we will one day be reunited with him and others who are already seeing the face of Jesus. If you do not have this assurance, the family is ready to show you how you can have that assurance also. Please reach out to one of us.
Andy is survived by his wife, Georgia Higginbotham, his son, Bruin Andrew Higginbotham, his parents, Janet Howard and Scott Higginbothan, his step parents, Lynn Higginbotham and Johnny Howard, his maternal grandfather, Ray Wintrone, his paternal grandfather, Ray Higginbotham, his grandfather in law, Michael Allday, his grandmother in law, Claudia Allday, his step sister, Addie Howard Stanford, his step grandmother, Christine Howard, three aunts that he adored, Misty Evans, Jill Monsour and Kristi Mount, his uncle, Mark Wintrone, his uncle, Barry Higginbotham and a host of cousins, aunts and uncles.
He is preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Virginia Haywood Higginbotham, his maternal grandmother, Mary Williams Wintrone, and his step grandfather, Dorris Ray Howard.
Andy's wish was to be cremated and his ashes spread over Lake Bruin, his most happy place. His body will be in view at the celebration of his life on Saturday, August 27 at Colonial Heights Baptist Church, 444 Northpark Drive in Ridgeland, MS. Visitation is 9:30 to 10:30 followed by the service at 11:00.
