Andrew Edward Magnus, Jr.

Andrew Edward Magnus, Jr., 79, of Alford, Florida died Monday, July 14, 2025, at his home.

He was born January 15, 1946, into a military family. His parents, Andrew Edward and Pola Magnus, Sr., traveled the world from base to base with their three children. Andrew later joined the Army himself and served his country with pride. He met the love of his life in 1980, and in 1982, he married Teresa.  Andrew was a loving husband, dedicated father, cherished grandfather, and great-grandfather. There was never a dull moment when he was in the room as his smile was contagious.

Andrew was always a hard worker, but that did not interfere with his kind and generous heart. He was always ready to lend a helping hand or help someone any way he could. His love for Christ was evident in his daily life. He believed in the promise of Heaven, and believed there was no greater reward than walking the streets of gold.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew Edward and Pola Geneva Magnus Sr.; and brother, Stephen Magnus; and grand-daughter, Brianna

He is survived by his wife, Teresa B. Magnus; children, Amanda Shay Magnus, Andrew Edward Magnus III (Summer), Sheena Russell (Brian), Joanie Fulford (Jeff), Shane Mangus (Elizabeth); grandchildren: Beverly, Dustin, Bree, Elspeth, Owen, Rylee, Brian Connor, Jagur, Andrea, Brantley, Noah, Kay, Corey, Alexis, Emily, Jacob, Rebekah; great-grandchildren: Trinton, Nova, Atlys, Luna, Crixus, Aza, Tildan, Easton, Avery, Beau, Harber, Eloisa; sister, Suzan Standridge; and many family and friends who loved him dearly.

The family will receive friends at 1 PM Thursday, July 17, 2025, at Eastside Baptist Church. The funeral services will follow at 2 PM with Dr. David Beigle officiating.

Burial will be 9 AM Friday, July 18, 2025, at Barrancas National Cemetery with James & Sikes Funeral Home Maddox Chapel directing.
