Andrews (Andy) and Dolores Andrews. He was raised in Galveston and enjoyed being on the beach, swimming and surfing. He attended Galveston Catholic Schools and graduated from Ball High School in 1973.

Mike learned the carpentry trade after high school.  He went to work with his brothers: Skip and TC for many years.  Later Mike went to work for McDaniel's Construction where he remained for 30 years. He retired in 2019, but his love of the trade did not end. His work can be seen all over Galveston Island, as he was highly sought after for his expertise in carpentry. He loved his work and continued to practice carpentry up until his last days, teaching his son the trade and doing work on his daughter's house.

Mike also had a passion for sports and art. He loved to watch the Houston Astros and Houston Rockets. He shared a passion for art with his daughter, Mallory, and they loved sharing their artwork with one another.

Mike's children were his pride and joy, he loved them with all he had and was undoubtedly proud of them and all their accomplishments. The birth of his grandchildren brought more love and being able to spend time with them was the highlight of his days. He enjoyed having time to play with them and watch them grow.
