William Victor Andrews, known to many as Will, was born on December 28, 1973, in Saigon, Vietnam, to the late Vernon Victor and Ly (Tran Thai) Andrews. Will passed away on Monday, May 4, 2026, at Mercy Health Lourdes in Paducah, Kentucky.
Will was a graduate of Hot Springs High School in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and was employed as a butcher at Banks Market in Paducah. Will had a deep love for sports, especially football, and he followed the game with enthusiasm and interest. Sports were more than entertainment to him, as they were a source of enjoyment, connection, and excitement. Above all else, Will loved his children deeply. His love for his kids was one of the defining parts of his life, and he carried that devotion with him in all that he did. He took great pride in being their father, and his care and affection for them were evident to everyone who knew him.
Will is survived by his fiancée, Shauna Gollnick of Calvert City, KY; a daughter, Sophie Andrews of Benton, KY; a son, Victor Andrews of Benton, KY; and a sister, Hanh Arabian.
There are no services scheduled at this time. Milner & Orr Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Paducah are in charge of all arrangements.
