Andrew Hayward Smith (12/2/65-9/11/18), Master of Divinity
Andrew lived in the Fink House by CAN for 2 years and was a part of our daily life. Born not far from Liverpool, England to a working class family, he married an American which is how he ended up in Miami at age 25, and was in the advertising industry for 30 years before deciding to dedicate his life to the Lord’s service. He was Board of Deacons chair of Miami Shores Presbyterian Church (PCUSA), whose associate pastor told him about Underground Seminary. He was 52 years old. We will miss our dear friend. We love you, Andrew!
