Andrew "Andy" Eastman, 55, born on the island of Guam, passed away on May 8, 2024, in Moyock, NC. Our "gentle giant" was known for his willingness to give anyone a helping hand, his generosity with his time and money, and his warm hugs and big smile. Andy was a beloved member of his family.

In his career, Andy was an Animal Control Caretaker and a decorated Merchant Mariner, holding a 1600-ton Masters License (Captains). He was awarded the Merchant Marine Expeditionary Medal for Operation Iraqi Freedom. 

He and his girlfriend, Jodi, worshipped at Sonlight Church and found solace and community there.
