Andrew Joseph Eppards

Andrew Joseph Eppards, 48, of Anderson, Indiana, passed away unexpectedly on December 8, 2024. Born on February 27, 1976, to Regina Womack and Charles E. Eppards in Anderson, IN. Andy brought joy and laughter to everyone around him. Known for his sharp sense of humor and playful spirit, he had a unique way of brightening the lives of others.

Andy loved golf and bowling and had a natural talent for both. He was a devoted Notre Dame fan, and loved to cheer on the Fighting Irish. Andy worked construction and was a handy man, and most recently he was a manager at Benson Harley-Davidson in Muncie, Indiana. Above all, his greatest pride and joy was his beautiful daughter, Hadlee Eppards, who was his entire world.

He is survived by his daughter, Hadlee Eppards; mother, Regina Womack; his brother, Christopher Eppards; his half-sister, Tammie Evans; nieces, Chelsea Cumpton, Rilee Evans, and Emmie Gaines; and nephews, Chase Eppards and Wyatt Gaines. Andy also leaves behind his significant other, Marin Bledsoe; his lifelong friends, Michael Abernathy and Dennis Nottingham; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends.

He is preceded in death by his sister, Hollie Eppards Gaines, in 2011, and his father, Charles Eppards, in 2016.

A celebration of Andy’s life will be held at a later date, where family and friends will come together to honor the incredible person he was and the countless memories he leaves behind.
