Andrew Sherman Wilkens died unexpectedly on January 20, 2026.
He was born on November 16, 1968, to Sherman Wilkens and Dianne Healey and grew up in Kenmore, New York. Andrew graduated from The Park School and Hartwick College while spending joyful childhood summers in Point Abino, Ontario, places that helped shape his care, humor, and deep sense of loyalty to the people and communities he loved.

Andrew was the devoted husband of Kelly and a proud, loving father to Ben and Caroline. He was a cherished brother to Christopher and a beloved uncle to 7 nieces and nephews.

A kind and dedicated friend, Andrew was someone others could always count on. He was a lifelong fan of the Buffalo Bills and Sabres, following his teams with unwavering hope and enthusiasm- with occasional constructive criticism for each. Andrew found joy in the everyday moments: quiet walks through Snyder, sharing a Saturday breakfast sandwich with Kelly, or laughing through a movie with his family—one he had seen countless times but still enjoyed just as much.

Those who knew Andrew will miss his unmistakable laugh, his quick humor, and his deep care for the feelings of others. He had a way of making people feel seen and at ease and was loved by those who knew him.

The family will host a visitation on Friday, January 30 from 3p-7p at The Dietrich Funeral Home 2480 Kensington Ave., Amherst. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, January 31, at 10:00 a.m. at Canisius High School Scaccia Auditorium, 1180 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, NY. Andrew’s family invites all who knew and loved him to gather in remembrance and gratitude for a life lived with kindness, loyalty, and love.

The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, gifts in memory of Andrew be made to Canisius High School or Nardin Academy.
