Scarborough – Andrew Roger Rathmell, age 23, much-loved son and brother, died on Sunday, April 11, 2021. We lost Andrew when he succumbed to depression and took his own life.

Andrew grew up with his younger sister, Sylvia, sharing silliness, meals around the table and Swedish celebrations. He was an avid gamer, enjoying computer games, board games and card games with family and friends.  Andrew was also fond of cooking and food, making his own ice cream recipes and perfecting roasted Brussels sprouts. He enjoyed being with family and taking trips, including a cruise to Alaska, biking and kayaking in Sweden and Norway, hiking and biking at National Parks and visits to family in Sweden and all over the United States. Andrew was kind, helpful, intelligent and funny.
