David Andrews

David Lee Andrews, age 68, of Athens passed away at Athens Regional Medical Center on April 18, 2016. He was the son of John and Helen Andrews and will be laid to rest in the Schaviak family plot in Greenwood Cemetery, Michigan City, IN. The visitation in Athens will be held at Bridges Funeral Home on April 23, 2016 from 4:00 - 6:00 PM. Dave earned his Bachelors (1984) and Doctoral (1990) degrees from Purdue University and Texas A&M University, respectively. He continued work at Texas A&M University before moving to the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of Georgia (UGA) in 1998. Dave worked for 18 years at UGA, first as a Research Coordinator (Fungal Genetics) and later as a Research Professional (Plant Virology). His vast knowledge and extensive experience in molecular biology and scientific instrumentation made him the 'go to' person for many students learning these skills. His diverse interests and remarkable personality will remain as fond memories for many of us. Dave was an outstanding scientist, an incredible mentor, a caring guardian, and a beloved friend. His greatest legacy is the profound and wonderful impact that he had on those of us who were fortunate to have him as a friend. Dave will be dearly missed!
