It is with broken hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Andrew B. Slagle of Westtown, NY, on November 17, 2024. He was 25 years old.
Born April 4, 1999, in Suffern, NY, he was the son of Andrew and Diane (nee Magoch) Slagle.
Andrew was a 2017 graduate of Minisink Valley schools and a 2019 Ohio Technical College graduate, and worked for Volvo Cars in Mahwah, NJ. Andrew was currently a lineman for Orange & Rockland Utilities.
A family statement reads, “Andrew was a beloved son, grandson, and brother. He had a big heart and it showed in the way he was always there for his friends, always ready to lend a hand or spend time. He loved working on Ford trucks and off-roading and was an avid hunter. He was a volunteer firefighter with the Wawayanda Fire Company-Slate Hill Fire Department and a big drag racing fan. He will be missed tremendously.”
