Andrew Dobson

Dearest Jenny and your beautiful children Amelia, Pierce and Melissa,
So sorry to hear of Andrew’s sudden passing at such a young age. You’l always have a special place in our hearts Jenny. You’re in our thoughts and prayers at this very sad time. R.I.P. Andrew

Dear Family,

My sincere condolences for your loss.

I briefly met Andrew while working on an Ericsson assignment in Tripoli - Libya back in 2013. Always very friendly, easy going and very professional. He also shared his fondness for poker and ended up offering me a small briefcase with chips he brought from home - which is right behind me and I confess each time I looked at it more carefully it reminded me of Andrew. He will be missed.

Dear Jenny, Amelia, Pierce and Melissa

We would like to offer our very sincere condolences for your loss.

From the first time I met Andrew in Ericsson (Guildford I think), we always got on well, Andrew was just so friendly and welcoming that people were drawn to him. Over the next few years we formed a great friendship both in work and outside through our poker group. We had some really great laughs travelling, playing cards and socialising. He will be missed so much by our group of friends and by so many other people. He contributed so much during his life.

Our thoughts are with you all

Jenny, Amelia, Pierce and Melissa ,

It's to my shame that I've never met you before having to write this. Andy was a huge inspiration to me and helped me through some challenging times. He was thoroughly professional and sought excellence but always had the time to help others raise their standards. He was a great team leader and a wonderful bloke.

Dear Jenny, Amelia, Pierce and Melissa

There are no words to explain how saddened we are to hear of Andrew's passing. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Deepest sympathy to Andrew's family at this unbelievably sad time. Although I have not seen Andrew for some time I will always remember the very happy times spent with the Dobson's, he was always such a happy go lucky person that will be sorely missed.

Dear Jennifer, Amelia, Pierce and Melissa,
Andrew was a much revered talent of the Hanley Energy Team. His energy, wit and professionalism was beyond reproach. We will miss him dearly.
Please accept our sincere heartfelt condolences.

Such a terrible shock and a tragic loss. He was an absolute gentleman and such a great person to be around. Cahore will be a very different place now. My thoughts are with you and the Kids Jenny. So very very sorry for your loss.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Andrew 10 years ago at a monthly poker night of friends. Andrew made an instant impression and was warmly embraced in the poker crew of friends. Over the time, we have enjoyed 9 x annual weekend trips to various European destinations. These were made memorable and fun by Andrew’s zest for life and spontaneous humour and wit.

In essence, Andrew had a kindred, gentle and kind spirit and you just never knew what laugh might come next. He loved people and had a knack of making anyone feel welcome.

Our friendship extended into the Boyne Rugby Club when Andrew started the U6 Boyne budding rugby stars. Today we enjoy the fruits of Andrew’s patience, dedication, encouragement and ethos with a squad of 10 coaches and 40 x U13 rugby players.

Andrew was a stickler for rules and would make us laugh when giving out to father volunteer refs that didn’t adhere to the mini rugby rules. Andrew was never downbeat even when the Springboks beat England in last years World Cup.

He enjoyed his lager, pork pies, making people laugh and making them feel welcome. He was most happy when he was with his family who he provided for in all aspects.

Andrew was in an extremely good place in his life when this unsuspected tradegy happened.

A huge loss to so many and will always be greatly missed.

My sincere condolences to Jennifer, Amelia, Pierce, Melissa, family and friends.

So sorry for your loss. Andrew will be sadly missed. Dylan had Andrew as a rugby coach since he was 6 years old. He thought Dylan and the squad a lot more than just the skills of rugby: respect, hard work, good team work to name a few. His example on the sidelines to the lads was excellent. Dylan thought the world of him. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family.

Dearest Jenny, Amelia, Pierce & Melissa,

Sincere condolences to Andrew's family on his passing way too soon. Great memories of thought provoking conversations and laughs in the Ericsson office. My prayers and thoughts to his family.

Andrew was a great colleagues of mine in Ericsson Ireland. I was really shocked to hear about him. I always remember his smiling face.

Andrew really was a gentleman, evident in the kindness, patience and the big smile he brought to every match or training session, never too busy to stop and share a laugh. Having fun and being a team were always at the forefront, and in doing so he coached our boys in much more than rugby.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Andrew. He was a colleague at Ericsson and a good friend. My heart felt condolences to his family and friends for this loss.
