Andrew Norman Boch
April 27, 2016 ~ June 17, 2025
With unimaginable sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved son and brother, Andrew Norman Boch, who left us far too soon on June 17, 2025, at the age of 9.
Born on April 27, 2016, Andrew—affectionately known as Andy—brought joy, energy, and endless curiosity to everyone who knew him. A true explorer at heart, Andy was most at home outside, where he could often be found riding his bike with the wind in his hair or searching for things to take apart and understand. His fascination with how things worked was only matched by the light he brought into every room.
Andy cherished the special bond he shared with his big brother Austin. Every Friday night was “Bro Night”—a treasured tradition full of laughter, video games, and a connection that words can’t fully capture. The love between them was fierce, loyal, and everlasting.
He leaves behind his devoted parents, Joseph and Jennifer Boch, and his loving brother Austin, who will forever carry his spirit forward. Andy’s absence leaves a hole in our hearts, but his memory will continue to inspire love, adventure, and wonder in all who knew him.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Alachua Learning Academy, in honor of Andy’s boundless curiosity and joyful spirit.
We will love you always, Andy

To The Family of Andrew Norman Boch:
May I express my sincere sympathy for the loss of your young loved one. ——-Death certainly is the “last enemy” ( 1st. Corinthians 15 : 26 ). ——Yet The True God of the Bible and the Universe , Jehovah
( Psalm 83 : 18 ) gives us a wonderful hope. —-Under His “Kingdom” arrangement (Daniel 2 : 44 ), which many pray for at Matthew 6 : 9 and 10, along with His Son Jesus as King (Isaiah 9 : 6 and 7), there will be a resurrection of the dead back to life ( John 5 :28 and 29 ; Acts 24 :15 ).——What a happy time that will be! ——You may strengthen your faith in God’s promise by viewing The Website

Andy was such a precious soul who truly lit up the room when he was there. His curiosity was unmatched. He was a joy to teach and be around daily. We are praying for the family during this unimaginable loss and we will walk with you every step of the way on this journey.
Jim and I are thinking of your entire family and praying you are surrounded by love and strength. We will miss seeing him running around Lynn’s yard having fun; I’m sure he still is playing hard in heaven.
Hey guys, I’m really sorry for you and your family. I can’t imagine the pain that you’re going thru. Pls let me know if you need anything. Best of luck to you in this tough time.
Neighbors are precious and we have enjoyed Andy as a special spirit of good will and true happiness. One of my lasting experiences with him was at Christmas time when he was anticipating a wonderful gift of a new bike. A while later her was happily and joyfully sharing his new gift! Cruising in the neighborhood, rain or shine on cruiser with a big grin on his face. I will miss him, as will other neighbors, but hold your family in loving grace and ease for having such a wonderful son and sharing his sweet spirit.
We hold you in special prayer for grace and ease, Joanne and Tim Malles
Andy was a sweet boy that we all were familiar with as he was always saying hi as he would ride by on his bike. Always smiling and waving to all the neighbors. He truly was an angel to all of us. We will never forget him and will remember the kindness that he brought to the neighborhood.. Our condolences to his family!!
I didn't know Andy very well but he went to my school and when I did talk to him he was always so respectful and kind he was such a sweet boy I'm so deeply sorry for your loss I send my condolences ❤️
Dear Boch Family, I am lifting your family to the Lord and asking for His mercy and comfort. Please accept my deepest condolences to your family during this unimaginable sorrow. Natasha Penton
