Andrew T.

Mcfarland

Andrew Thomas McFarland, 51, Madison, formerly of Watertown, died unexpectedly at his home on Friday, July 3, 2020. He was born on October 16, 1968 in Watertown, the youngest child of the late Andrew and Mildred (Brown) McFarland.

Throughout his life, Andy split his time between Wisconsin and Florida. No matter the location, Andy was drawn to water all his life; from growing up on Rock River, Rock Lake and the lakes around Madison, to the Wisconsin River and the Gulf of Mexico. He was never far from a boat or a fishing pole and loved nothing more than spending time with family and friends on a dock or in a campground, listening to Brewer and Packer games on the radio.

Andy had a smile and a sense of humor that would light up a room. Get-togethers with friends and family gatherings were the perfect venues for his finely tuned Irish story-telling prowess.

Andy always worked with his hands and crafted a career as a gifted carpenter. His legacy is left in many beautiful homes in Madison and surrounding areas. He was the "go-to" friend for help with building decks, porches and outdoor spaces.

Andy was preceded in death by his parents, Andy and Millie McFarland, and his brother Joseph McFarland. He is survived by his brother, Gregory of Lake Mills; one sister, Mary (Mark) Romary of Trinity, Florida, and sister-in-law Kerri McFarland of Treasure Island, Florida. He will be greatly missed by his nephews Matt (and family Katie and little Millie), Nick, Connor and Ryan. Andy was part of a large and loving Irish clan of cousins and their nieces and nephews, the Brown family who were a beloved part of his growing up, and dear friends who meant the world to him.

At this time no formal services are being held.

The McFarland family would like to thank everyone who has shared memories of Andy Mac on social media, and we invite you to share them on this page as well. In memoriam, the family has set up a Go Fund Me account to help with expenses. We are eternally grateful for you all. https://gf.me/u/yfjta2
