Andrea Young

May 17, 1982 — October 27, 2024

Andrea Young, 42, Courageous Veteran and Devoted Family Member and Friend

Andrea Young, born in Andrews, Texas, and raised in Hobbs, New Mexico, passed away on October 27, 2024, in El Paso, Texas. Andrea was not just a National Guard veteran; she was a vibrant spirit who embodied resilience and determination. A beloved granddaughter, daughter, sister, niece, cousin, partner, and friend, Andrea's life was filled with love and laughter.

Andrea's sense of duty was profound, serving both her community and her country with pride. With an associate degree in criminal justice from New Mexico Junior College, she was a staunch advocate for fairness and justice. Her time in the National Guard forged lifelong bonds with fellow service members who became her second family.

Her love for her family was boundless. Andrea's bravery, humor, and steadfast loyalty left an indelible mark on those who knew her. To her friends, she was family, always ready with a listening ear and kind words. Her generosity of spirit touched everyone around her.

Andrea was a passionate sports enthusiast, cheering for her favorite teams— the Atlanta Braves, Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Lakers, and Texas Longhorns—with infectious enthusiasm. Her vibrant spirit shone through in her team jerseys and heartfelt (and loud) cheers.

Remembering Andrea means recalling her tenacity, compassion, sense of humor (and sarcasm), and fierce loyalty to her loved ones and the values she held dear. Her lasting impact on family, friends, and community will be deeply missed.

A Celebration of life to honor Andrea’s life will be held on December 7, 2024, at 1:00 PM at Sunset Funeral Home West, 480 N. Resler Dr., El Paso, Texas 79912.
