Andy Abercrombie

With extreme sadness, we announce the passing of Andy Wayne Abercrombie at age 66. Andy slipped away quietly in a peaceful setting overnight after being surrounded by loving family members on the 18th of January 2026. Andy was a cherished family member and loyal lifelong friend to many. He was born in Detroit and spent much of his life in Warren, with a decade or so in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas before returning here to his home state. He built and ran a successful business as an auto mechanic, and always enjoyed teaching young up-and-comers the tricks of the trade. With many diverse interests, Andy had a hard time keeping up with all of his own hobbies. To name a few, he was a dirt bike rider, fisherman, and hunter, allowing him to enjoy camping and the outdoors all year round. He loved inviting new friends and family members to share these passions. He taught himself computer programming and guitar playing, until excelling at both. Lastly, he loved aeronautics, and built and flew RC planes, helicopters and drones. Andy devoted himself to helping people. It would be difficult to find anyone in his circle who didn’t once benefit from him fixing something, teaching something or simply answering a question. Andy was a loving husband to his wife Becky for over 30 years, never once letting her carry in her own groceries or take out the trash. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, his Uncle Bob, his proud parents Wayne and Nancy Abercrombie and his cherished eldest son Christopher. Left behind are his brother and best friend Bob, his youngest son Steven (Holly), and grandsons Christopher Jr., Jaxon, Ashdon, and Korbyn and granddaughter Rylee. Many other aunts & uncles, nieces & nephews, cousins and friends will miss him dearly. Please join us for visitation on Friday, January 23rd, 3 to 8 PM at Mandziuk & Son Funeral Home, 3801 18 Mile Road, Sterling Heights, MI 48314. A funeral service will be held on Saturday January 24th, 11 AM at Mandziuk & Son (gather beginning at 10 AM). Committal/ Interment at Resurrection Cemetery, 18201 Clinton River Rd., Clinton Township, Michigan. Luncheon to follow.
