Andrew Ward Obituary

The passing of Andrew Ward (Ames, Iowa), born in Norfolk, Virginia leaves a void in the hearts of many, as we bid farewell to a loving soul who departed on July 2, 2024 at the age of 70. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Andrew may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.

He was predeceased by: his parents, John Ward and Barbara Ward (Hook); and his brother Prior Ward. He is survived by: his wife Joni; his children, Megan Peterson and Ryan Ward; his brother Stephen Ward (Sandi); and his grandchildren, Kael Peterson and Elroy Peterson. He is also survived by 1 niece and 3 nephews, 1 grandniece and 1 grandnephew.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Des Moines YMCA Camp (in Boone).
