Andrew John Soucy

Andrew John Soucy, 62, son of Roland and Madeleine (d’Entremont) Soucy, passed away unexpectedly on February 22, 2025, at his home in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Born on September 9, 1962, in Beverly, Massachusetts, Andy was the youngest boy in a family of twelve children. He was a kind, curious and adventurous spirit with a deep thirst for knowledge, and the ability to make friends easily. His family moved to Amesbury in 1968 where he attended school and quickly became part of a tight knit circle of childhood friends with whom he maintained lifelong friendships.

Andy graduated from Amesbury High School in 1981 and continued his education throughout his life. His academic journey took him to numerous institutions across the country, including Northern Essex Community College, Salt Lake Community College, Northern Arizona University, the University of Northern Colorado, and the University of Utah where he earned a bachelor’s degree in behavioral science. Andy was a perpetual learner who embraced every opportunity to expand his understanding of the world and the people in it. He was quick witted and charming, which allowed him to easily connect with others, and he was always willing to lend a helping hand to those who needed it.

Andy eventually moved out west, where his children were born and raised, before finally settling in Las Vegas, NV. There, Andy’s desire to help people led him to work in the ER at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center where he assisted with traumas for over ten years. He also was employed at Harry Reid International Airport for fifteen years, where his work connected him to the bustling energy of travel and exploration—fitting for someone who tried his hand at piloting aircraft and who loved discovering new places and meeting people from all walks of life.

Always a passion for the outdoors, Andy found immense joy in skiing, hiking, and traveling. Whether enjoying the beauty of Mount Charleston, skiing in Colorado and Utah, visiting our beautiful National Parks or exploring the mountains of New England where he spent much of his younger years, he felt most at home surrounded by nature. His carefree and adventurous spirit led him to seek new experiences and explore different landscapes throughout his life. Andy also enjoyed playing guitar, listening to music and attending rock concerts and car shows with his close family and friends. Most of all, he simply enjoyed being around the people that he loved no matter the occasion.

Andy is survived by his children Cassandra, Ashley (Soucy) & Alex Hitchcock, Robin, and their mother Melissa Daines; his partner of 17 years, Melanie Crouch & her family; He also leaves behind his eleven siblings: Doreen & Donald Peterson; Patricia Buchanan & Mandel Martinez; Kenneth & Cathy (Ackley); Steven; Paul; Debra Fowler; William & Renee (Laurent); Bruce & Marie (MacBurnie); Lisa Soucy & Jay Davis; Cynthia Soucy & Richard Medico; and Jeannine & Rob Nash. Additionally, he is remembered fondly by many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Andy was predeceased by his parents and grandparents, along with many beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Andy’s ease of making friends and his love for adventure, learning, and the natural world will be cherished by those who knew him. May his memory bring comfort to all who were fortunate enough to share in his life’s journey.

Donations in Andy’s memory can be made to the American Heart Association, or a meaningful charity of one’s choice. Memorial services will be announced at a later date.
