Andrew James Denson, Jr., affectionately known to family and friends as “Peewee”, was born on July 19, 1985, in Clearwater, Florida, to Andrew J. Denson, Sr., and Mary L. Minniefield Natiel.

He was educated in the Pinellas County School System and graduated from Largo High School in 2004.

He was employed in the restaurant industry in supervisory positions.

He was a member of St. Mary Missionary Baptist Church. Andrew was a pure soul with a heart of gold who got along with everyone.

He loved the game of basketball. He loved his family and was a hardworking man who stayed to himself with very few friends, which probably explained why he talked so much. He could speak, but the things he talked about weren’t just talk; they were informative. He talked about your health, herbal healing, and so much more. Peewee enjoyed family time the most and educating himself about wildlife and nature.

He loved birds and could identify them by sight. The one he identified the most was the “Red Tail Hawk.” We could go on and on about him, but we will keep all the laughter, his smiles, and our long talks near to us. We love him now, forever and always.

Andrew James Denson, Jr. peacefully transitioned from his earthly home to his eternal home on June 29, 2025.
