About Andrew Stephen Hendrix
Creative, curious and giving, Andrew Stephen Hendrix was a lifelong seeker, always striving to deepen his understanding of the world. He had many interests, including cooking, art, gardening and environmental science.
He demonstrated his passion for creativity to friends and family by exploring new ways to work with spices, pottery glazes and gardening techniques. His flourishing fruit trees and hundreds of clay sculptures are a lasting testament to his creative energy.
Undergirding his interests was a reverence and fascination for life. He loved people and accepted everyone without judgment. Not only was he determined to overcome obstacles, but he also encouraged others in the face of their own challenges.
He brought the same attitudes to his job, approaching duties large and small with a strong work ethic and commitment. He was kind and always ready to lend a hand, whether he was welcoming a new co-worker at his job or volunteering at the Arc of North Carolina, an organization that provides advocacy and services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
