Andrew E. (Andy) Schepp,
40, died in a paragliding accident near Swan Falls on Saturday, October 15,
2011.
Andrew was born May
8, 1971. He grew up in St. Louis,
Missouri, graduating from Horton Watkins High School in 1990. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Political
Science from Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado in 1994 and a Juris
Doctorate from University of Idaho College of Law in 2000. At the time of his death he was employed as
an attorney at Brady Law Chartered of Boise.
Andrew brought joy
and love to many, including animals, children and the elderly. His smiling spirit continues to soar,
always. Andrew excelled at parenthood,
helping to care for his children as infants and reading to them nightly as
toddlers. Andrew’s sense of humor included
much silliness such as memorizing all the lines of comedy films such as “Caddy
Shack.” He also appreciated nature,
spending as much time outdoors as possible.
He went the extra mile for his legal clients and enjoyed doing so.
A loving husband and
father, Andrew is survived by his wife Christine (Keavy) Schepp and their two
sons, Ethan, 3, and Cameron, 2; his parents, Edwin (Ted) and Renate Schepp, and
Janice and Anson Eickhorst; his sister and brother-in-law, Martha (Schepp)
Granirer and Keith Granirer; his nephews Matthew and Michael Granirer; his
parents-in-law, Richard and Diane Keavy; his brother-in-law, Jeffrey Keavy; and
his aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
