LIMERICK - Andrew A. Colby, age 66, passed away on January 23, 2025, at Maine Medical Center, after a short illness, surrounded by his loving family and friends. Andy was born on June 12, 1958, in Portland, Maine, a son of the late Henry and Vera (Damon) Colby.

Andy married Ann (Whiteley) Colby on May 3, 1986, making their home in Limerick. Andy spent most of his life in commercial and residential construction. Andy loved the outdoors. He loved hunting and fishing, especially in the Northern woods of Greenville and Ragged Lake. In the summer months, Andy could be found at Whiteley Beach listening to golden oldies and country music while he took in all the happenings with family and friends at the pond. His greatest love was his family. Together Andy and Ann raised 3 beautiful daughters who blessed them with Brielle (Queenie), Bryson, Isabelle, Callie, Juliett and Emett.
