When I first started podcasting two years ago the field was very limited. One of the interesting things was what I called the “Unmass” feeling of the media. It was not like TV, radio, print or Film. Here you could email a podcaster and nine out of ten times you would get an email back.

I stumbled upon a podcast called Never Not Funny that was in it’s early days and the I met Andrew Koenig. I had no clue at first about his father or sister or acting background he was just Andrew and he kept the video rolling I emailed him and he responded to my questions and asked a few of his own.

Later on we hooked up on face book and again a few messages and some longer emails about his films some chat debates about this or that. Though we didn’t see eye to eye on many things we always had fun. One thing that came through was Andrews good nature. There was something good deep inside of him and it always showed.

I wish I could say I knew him better,  our friendship was a handful of messages, a few chats and a half a dozen emails.

I did learned more about him over the years about his acting and his parents but he never seem to let that define him he was about standing on his own. His passing has touched so many lives. Son, brother, Uncle, Friend, Film Maker, Video Maker, He did more then talk he walked the walk when it came to his convictions. A man of passions that sometimes flamed and sometimes were very touching, he sent me an Email after I made a donation to Smile Train that floored me and brought tears to my eyes.

My heart goes out to his parents and family, no words can do justice to how so many of us feel about your loss. My heart goes out to the many friends, fans and supporters who loved Andrew as well. 

Andrew will be missed by the many who loved him. He will be missed by the many he touched with his creative works. I will miss you Andrew the world was made a little more sad by your leaving it too soon.
