It is with profound sorrow that the family of Andreas ("Andy" or "Andrew") Gieryic announces his passing on Sunday, October 13th, in Baltimore, Maryland, at the age of 65, following a brief illness. He passed peacefully with his loving wife by his side.

Andreas is survived by his loving wife of 20 years, Lucille Lynn Warunek-Gieryic of Parkton, Maryland (originally from Dupont, Pennsylvania); his cherished daughter, Emerson Andrea Gieryic of Allentown, Pennsylvania; and his son, Matthew Gieryic-Christensen of Alexandria, Alabama. He also leaves behind siblings Robert Gieryic of Dover, Pennsylvania, Thomas (and wife Karen) Gieryic of Albany, Georgia, Elisabeth (Gieryic) Sturgill of Dover, Pennsylvania, Michael (and wife Marie) Gieryic of Eagle River, Alaska, and Jacqueline (Nixon) (and husband Bryan) Gillespie of Bennington, Nebraska.

Andreas was predeceased by his parents Marianne Gieryic of Dover, Pennsylvania, and Charles Gieryic of White City, Kansas, as well as his dear mother-in-law, Mildred (Hudock) Warunek of Dupont, Pennsylvania.

A highly accomplished entrepreneur in the information technology sector, Andreas was known for his sharp intellect and business acumen. Beyond his professional life, he was a passionate music lover who found deep joy in playing the guitar, often filling his home with melodies that reflected his creative spirit. His kindness, humility, fearlessness and boundless love for his family will forever be remembered.
