Today, February 8th, 2022, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-02), spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives to honor the life of Bettendorf’s Andrew Spyrow.
Mdm. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of a young man in my district.
On February 1st, Andrew Spyrow of Bettendorf passed away after a nearly four-year battle with brain cancer.
Andrew was a lifelong native of Bettendorf, graduating from Our Lady of Lourdes and Assumption High School where he developed many life-long friendships. He loved playing sports and running, participating in several marathons across the country.
Andrew was a devoted husband, son, and father. After his cancer diagnosis, Andrew built a beautiful family. After his first brain surgery, Andrew married his best friend and the love of his life, Mary. They had two beautiful children, Audrey and Oliver.
No matter what was happening in his life, Andrew always put the needs of others first. Even when he was fighting cancer, he always made sure to ask how others were doing, never complaining about his diagnosis.
Andrew’s family and friends are in my prayers during this difficult time.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, I yield back my time.
