Andy was the youngest child born to Curry “Doc” and Bertha Thorne in Dorcas, West Virginia on June 13th, 1941. His “younger years” weren’t perfect, but they gave him a powerful testimony after his life-altering encounter with the living God. And when he met his late wife, Shirley, on a blind date, he knew she was the one God had for him. Although Andy didn’t have a stellar education and could barely read at a 3rd grade level, he could always be found reading his favorite book, the Bible. He has instilled that love of the Lord and His Word in his son and daughter. Andy was a talented truck driver for his career and never shied away from hard work. But it was his light, laugh, and smile that will be missed by all that knew him.

He is survived by his son, Brian and daughter-in-law Faith; daughter, Katherine and son-in-law Michael; spiritual daughter, Stefanie and spiritual son, Danny; grandchildren, Stephan, Alicen, Robert, Andrew, Maliki, Zachary, Aliyah, and Ethan; great-granddaughter, JuJu; sisters, Mary and Betty; and countless nieces, nephews, and friends.² He was born on June 13, 1941 at West Virginia.^1,2 He married Shirley Ora Burnley, daughter of Clyde Ernest Burnley and Ora Ida Tyler, on June 16, 1977 at Springfield, Fairfax Co., Virginia.¹ Andrew William Thorne died on August 20, 2021 at North Carolina at age 80.²
