Former Drummer of Casting Crowns passes away from his injuries
ndy Williams, the former drummer of Casting Crowns passed away on Friday, July 9th, from injuries he suffered in a motorcycle accident on June 27th. Andy was 49 years old. The accident left Andy on a ventilator after he suffered "trauma to both his body and his brain." Andy, last week, went through surgery to have his leg amputated above his knee. He was hit by another vehicle while he was going to church on his motorcycle. Andy's church, Grace Chapel, in Fairview, Tennessee had posted a very heart felt tribute from Andy's wife, Kelly, that was shared by Mark Hall, Casting Crowns' lead singer. The tribute said, "He fought a great fight, but the injuries that he suffered took a toll on his physical body. You prayed along with us that Andy would be healed. You prayed along with us that Andy would wake up. You prayed along with us that God would perform
a miracle. While we morn that Andy isn't here with us and that we didn't get to witness the miracle we longed for here on earth, all of our prayers were answered. He is healed, he is awake and we believer that he is more alive today than he has ever been. We hold fast
to Paul's words that we look not to the things that are seen, but to those things that are unseen, for they are eternal. We celebrate that Andy is in the arms of his Savior and we are grateful for the memories and laughter that Andy brought to all who knew him. We can't
thank you enough for your prayers, support, and unending love. You have walked with us through this very difficult journey and we felt you there the entire way." Mark Hall also shared a three minute performance video on Instagram of Andy during one of their concerts. Andy is survived by his wife Kelly and his three children. Grace Chapel has started a Go Fund Me page, in efforts to raise $250,000 for medical costs. So far they have raised more than $64,700 dollars.
