Andrew Lee Gay, 86, passed away Friday, February 22, 2019. He was born on January 31, 1933 in Farmville, North Carolina to the late Richard and Minnie (Lindsay) Gay.

Andrew was a retiree of G.F. Vaughan Tobacco Warehouse in Lexington after 30 years as a foreman. He was a past member of Free Will Baptist Church in North Carolina. He was also known as a "fix-it" man. He was always doing something, from gardening to small engine repair; he was always willing to lend a hand. He loved to cook and was famous for his Labor Day hog roasts. Andrew also took great pride in his peach and pear trees in his front yard as well as keeping a beautifully maintained lawn. He was loved by his family and neighbors alike and will be greatly missed.
