Andrew Rausch, 26, beloved son and brother, was called to heaven on April 15, 2016. He entered this world on March 12, 1990 in Mountain Home, ID and is preceded in death by his grandparents, Edward and Margaret Bernat and Gene and Mary Rausch. Andrew is survived by his parents, Robert and Sandra Rausch; brother Robert Stephen (Alaina) Rausch; brother Christopher (Jaime) Rausch and their children Jordann and Sean; aunts, uncles, and cousins. He graduated from Universal Technical Institute, Phoenix with a degree in auto mechanics. Andrew loved riding his motorcycle and was Vice-President of the "Malicious Riders" motorcycle club. As a very talented student of Brazilian Jujitsu, he trained in gyms in both Albuquerque and Las Vegas, Nevada. Andrew was a Life Scout and enjoyed crewing for hot air balloons. He appeared in many New Mexico film productions. Andrew loved his family and was greatly loved by his family and his many wonderful friends. Though his time with us may have seemed all too short, his loving spirit lives on, not only in lives he touched but also the lives he saved. As an organ donor, Andrew's sacrifice was not in vain. The lives he saved will serve as a constant reminder of his selflessness and character.
