Andrew “Ardie” Albright

Andrew Arden “Ardie” Albright of Lytton, Iowa, passed away at the Boone County Hospital, Boone, Iowa on Tuesday September 13, 2005, following an automobile accident.

Andy was born on September 25, 1984, in Lake City. He was baptized and confirmed at the Lytton Presbyterian Church. He grew up on the farm northeast of Lytton, attending Lytton Grade School and graduating from Rockwell City-Lytton High School in 2003. He was in his junior year at Iowa State University in Ames majoring in Ag Studies and even made the Dean’s list this past semester.

As a student at Rockwell City-Lytton High School he was active in basketball and FFA and was voted FFA Sweetheart King his junior year. There wasn’t a high school homecoming skit that was complete without a comedic performance from Andy. He loved sports and was an avid fan, keeping stats on his favorite teams which included the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Twins, and most definitely the Cyclones. He also spent many hours on the golf course with his friends and family. At Iowa State University he was involved in many campus organizations, the largest of which being Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity where he was loved by all and fondly referred to as “Ardie”. Andy was a member of the Executive Council as membership development chairman where he helped the new initiates adjust to college and fraternity life. He was also involved on campus with ISU Ambassadors, Cy Squad, Freshman Council, 2004 VEISHEA, and the Agriculture Future of America program.

Left to cherish his memory are his parents, Alan and Lisa Albright; his two brothers, Ben and Nick; and grandparents James and JoAnn Albright all of Lytton; extended family members and many friends.

Andy was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Betty Lou and Nick Lamberto.

Andy will be truly missed by everyone whose life he touched.
