Andrew Robert "Andy" Rosenquist

Andrew Robert “Andy” Rosenquist, 61, passed away peacefully, May 27, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to his family. Andy was born on August 31, 1964, in Hutchinson, Kansas, to Robert and Alice Elaine (Vanetta) Rosenquist.

Andy was raised in Columbia, Missouri, where he graduated from Hickman High School in 1982 and went on to attend Columbia College. He built a life rooted in hard work, determination, and connection. Andy began his career at Guier Fence Company, where his talent and drive led him to eventually start his own fence company in 1998—an accomplishment he took great pride in.

In 1990, Andy married the love of his life, Karri Rosenquist (Sheppard). Together, they built a home full of love and raised their family in Blue Springs, Missouri. Andy was a dedicated husband and father, and later, an exceptionally proud grandfather.

Andy found great joy in life’s simple pleasures. He loved spending time at the Lake of the Ozarks, boating on the water, and eagerly anticipating hunting season. Known for his vibrant personality, Andy was often the life of the party—someone who brought people together, shared laughter freely, and made lasting memories with all who knew him.

Above all else, Andy’s greatest pride and joy were his grandchildren: Olivia, Mason, Jett, Greyson, Stella, Wesson, Milania, Bria and Addison. He adored each of them deeply and was famous for never telling them no—a trait they lovingly knew and cherished.

Andy had a heart as big as they come. He was always willing to listen, quick with thoughtful advice, and admired for his intelligence and genuine care for others. His presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Andy was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Elaine Rosenquist.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Karri Rosenquist; his four children, Mallory Tillman (Brian), Rachel Drmacich (Tiffany), Kaylee Rosenquist, and Hayden Rosenquist (Allison); his cherished grandchildren; and his aunt, Betty Morgan.

Andy’s legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the family he built, and the countless memories he leaves behind. He will forever be remembered for his kindness, humor, and the immense love he shared with everyone around him.
