Andrew D. French Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Andrew D. French (aka Frenchie), age 44, unexpectedly passed away at home in the early morning hours of March 4, 2020. He was the second child of four born to David and Patricia (Lamprecht) on October 28, 1975 in Crown Point, IN. After marrying his wife in 1999, they moved to Minnesota until 2008 and then moved into Wisconsin where he spent the remainder of his life. Frenchie was a multi-talented individual that had a great eye for detail. He took great pride in his workmanship during his career as a mechanic and welder. He practiced many hobbies through the years such as bowhunting, fishing, snowmobiling, lure making, and most recently refurbishing old refrigerators into electric smokers. Frenchie was affectionately referred to as ‘the meat man’ as he frequently smoked various types of meat that were sure to never disappoint. When Frenchie set his mind to something, you can count on him following through. Even though he was a big man of 6’4”, he was considered a ‘big teddy bear’ by anyone who knew him. His one true passion in life was his family. Just his presence alone was enough to make you feel safe. Frenchie is survived by his wife Jessica of Menomonie, daughter Selah, mother Patricia (Lamprecht) of Lowell, IN, sisters Amy (Brian) Ruschak of Noblesville, IN and Carrie Tomko of Dyer, IN, brother Dan (Kelly) French of Lowell, IN, in-laws Michael and Linda Burke of Menomonie, WI, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and many close friends. He was preceded in death by his father David, his grandparents. A gathering in Andrew’s memory will be held from 4p-7p on Monday, March 9th, 2020 at Olson’s Funeral home in Menomonie, WI.
