Andrew Arthur Meseke (Andy) lived his life in Manteca arriving from Tracy at the age of one. He attended Humpty Dumpty Preschool, Brock Elliott Elementary and Sierra High School.  He played many sports: Little League Baseball, soccer, basketball, football. His love of camping, hiking and fishing started with his first family camping trip in the Sierras at the age of two.. Andy was part of Troop 423 from Tiger Cubs thru Boy Scouts. His love of nature led to a VAST collection of rocks. He cultivated succulents long before it became the “thing.” His talent at the BBQ led him to attend culinary school in San Francisco. He inherited a talent for fixing things and could “MacGyver” anything. Andy was very proud to be the first son to accomplish a college degree (AA with HVAC certifications). Andy expressed his creativity through his writings, poetry and drawings. Some of Andy’s favorite past times were Thrift Store shopping, collecting old books and hanging out with friends. If Andy was there, fun was happening.
