Andy was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, George Stockburger IV, his paternal grandparents, Eugene (Joanne Sessions) Goldberg, and Elizabeth (Andrade) Goldberg, and his cousin, Sean Carlin.

Andy was born on August 17, 2005, in Abington Memorial Hospital in Montgomery County, PA. He was the youngest of the three Goldberg boys. He was given the middle name Andrade to honor his paternal grandmother. He was immensely proud to hold the honor of this name every day of his life.

From day one there were two things that were evident about Andy. His kind soul and his love of trains. Growing up, Andy poured his imagination into building Thomas the Tank Engine layouts, moving into countless hours playing with Lionel trains with his family, and building virtual railroads online. He cherished visiting his favorite railroads such as Reading & Northern, Strasburg, East Broad Top, New Hope, and Walt Disney World during his annual visit with family. He wore out multiple copies of The Polar Express and fell asleep listening to the music from the movie for many years.

Some of his favorite memories chasing trains were with his grandfather, "Haha" at the family mountain house. He once recalled that he would hear the train horn and turn to see Haha with keys in hand ready to chase the train together. They would collect coal and railroad spikes; he thought that it was coolest thing to take a piece of the railroad with him. Everyone knows in their heart that Andy and Haha are discussing history and trains together next to a big fire while drinking a cold root beer. He loved to share his never-ending knowledge of the railroads with anyone who would listen. Andy loved being a member of the Abington Model Railroad Club, where he met numerous friends and was able to share his passion for model railroading with so many.

Andy was never happier than when he was living his dream working with his friends riding the rails for the New Hope Railroad. Andy loved learning new things in the shop in the railroad's off seasons. But he will be most remembered on the railroad for his interactions with his passengers as a trainman. Andy was proud to wear his trainman uniform and make sure that everyone on his train had a memorable journey, and that they learned something about the history of the train that he loved so dearly. If you were blessed to ride the train with Andy, he made it his mission to provide the highest level of service that he could. Nothing less than that would have been acceptable.

Andy was honored to have the name he suggested chosen for a recently refurbished train car operated by the Reading and Northern Railroad. Should you ever visit in Andy's honor, make sure to hitch a ride in the "Appalachian Trail." He was ecstatic that the name he suggested was chosen, and will forever be his on the railroad.

Andy was a proud American. He loved his country and the ideals it holds. Andy loved supporting the service men and women that protected him, specifically through his work with the club Operation Eternal Gratitude at CB South. Andy was proud to serve as the president of OEG for the 2023-2024 school year. OEG was one of the many things that brought a massive smile to Andy's face, because he was helping others and that's what he loved to do. One specific memory from OEG that brought him immense pride was sending care packages to his brother in the Army and his friends overseas.

Andy achieved the rank of Eagle with the Boy Scouts. He was a scout with Troops 137 and 172 in Warrington. He was able to enjoy many memories with his brothers and his father in scouts, as well as many lifelong friends that were made along the way. Scouting helped Andy find a love for the outdoors, something that he got to enjoy while he was chasing his favorite trains with his friends. Andy chose to support his club, OEG, with his Eagle Scout project. He collected items and put together care packages to be sent to our troops deployed overseas.

Andy was a member of Central Bucks South High School class of 2024. After graduation, Andy went on to study business at Bucks County Community College in Newtown. He was set to graduate with an Associate's Degree this spring.

Andy was extremely humbled to receive the Kind Like Joey Memorial Scholarship as he was graduating high school. The Kind Like Joey Foundation recognizes young people who live their lives with kindness, and helps support them in honor of Joey Edwards. If you knew Andy, you know that there was no one more deserving of an award recognizing kindness than him.

Relatives and friends are invited to a visitation in memory of Andy's life on Sunday, December 28, 2025, from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m., at Spring Mill Country Club, 80 Jacksonville Road, Ivyland, PA 18974, followed by a Time of Sharing Service at 2:00 p.m. Family and friends are encouraged to share a favorite memory of Andy. Andy's favorite food and drinks will be served afterwards. Interment will be held privately.

In lieu of flowers, his family requests donations be made in Andy's memory to the Kind Like Joey Foundation at www.kindlikejoey.org or at 305 Stonyhill Drive, Chalfont, PA 18914 to continue to honor his life and legacy.

We ask that you remember Andy by being kind, sharing a smile, and thinking of him every time you hear a train in the distance.

Go rest high on that mountain 'cause son your work on earth is done

The rails are clear. The train is yours, Andy.
