April 23, 1931 - May 28, 2025
On May 28, 2025, the world lost a remarkable man, John C. Andrade, who passed away at 94 years old. He was born on April 23, 1931, to parents Joseph and Mary Andrade.

He was responsible for milking cows, plowing/harvesting fields, driving truck and everything in between. In 1958, John married the love of his life, Angelean Geiszler, and together they raised three children. John dedicated his life to his work as a truck driver and business owner, where he was known for his strong work ethic, “gotta be tough” attitude, and unwavering commitment to providing for his family. In his later years, John enjoyed gardening and sharing the fruits of his labor with family and friends. He also enjoyed spending quality time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
John is survived by, daughter, Jolean (Mike) Leddy; daughter- in-law, Maxine (Frey) Andrade; grandchildren, Megan (Rolly) Skarloken, Nicole (Joey) Albert, Chris Leddy, and Eric (Melissa) Leddy; and great grandchildren, Brandon Albert, Harlan Leddy, Olivia Skarloken, Isabella Leddy, and Carson Leddy as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
