Andrew Richdale

October 5, 1963 — June 5, 2026

Andy was born on October 5, 1963, in Winchester, Massachusetts. He was raised in Reading, Massachusetts, and Newburyport, Massachusetts, where he formed many lifelong friendships and memories before eventually making his home in Hilton Head Island and Bluffton, South Carolina. Throughout his life, he was known for his strong work ethic, generous heart, passion for health and fitness, sense of humor, and unwavering dedication to his family. He touched the lives of countless people through his kindness, wisdom, and willingness to help others whenever they were in need.

One of Andy's greatest joys was his family. He was a proud father and loving grandfather who treasured every moment spent with his son, Wyatt, and grandson, Boston. He took immense pride in watching his son grow into a devoted father and become his partner in the family business, Earthsystems. Nothing made Andy happier than seeing his family thrive, and he was always their biggest supporter, offering encouragement, wisdom, and unwavering love.

Andy was passionate about fitness and spent countless hours in the gym, where he built not only strength but also lifelong friendships. Bodybuilding was more than a hobby—it was a testament to his discipline, determination, and commitment to living life to the fullest. He was also a devoted New England Patriots fan, proudly cheering on his team through every season. Whether watching a game, discussing football with friends, or working toward his next fitness goal, Andy brought enthusiasm and energy to everything he loved.

Those who knew Andy will remember his warm smile, quick wit, and ability to make everyone feel welcome. Whether sharing stories, lending a helping hand, or simply enjoying time with loved ones, he left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Andy is survived by his son, Wyatt Richdale, and his wife, Karrie Richdale; his beloved grandson, Boston Richdale; Wyatt's mother, Anne Graves; his brother, Dana Richdale, and Dana's wife, Hiromi Richdale; his nephew, Kent Richdale; his brother, Brad Richdale, and Brad's wife, Debbie Richdale; his nephews, Derek Richdale and Andrew Richdale; as well as many other family members and friends who will miss him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Coleman Richdale, and his mother, Anita Ruth Mulhinch.
