Andy was born in Stuttgart, Germany, moved to the United States as a young child, and eventually
ended up in Gatesville, Texas, where he graduated high school. For 20 years Andy worked sandblasting
and painting water towers. Later in life he worked and retired as a mechanic which was his true passion.
He loved cars, FORDS to be precise, especially his Mustang that he would take to the track to race.
Another favorite of Andy’s was to take his wife Teresa out Country Western dancing. Andy was one of
the kindest people you could ever meet and truly never met a stranger. He was so generous and would
stop what he was doing to help anyone in need no matter day or night. He will be missed dearly by so
many.
 
He was preceded in death by his mother, Helga.
 
Andy is survived by his wife of 26 years, Teresa; his 9 children, Blaise Holt, Rheanne Moore and husband
Dominique, Renee Butterfield and husband Austin, Regina Norton and husband Mundo, Daniel Norton
and wife Melissa, Rachel Kirkham and husband James, Aaron Norton and wife SonMi, Eric Norton and
wife Shannan, and Jason Norton; his 28 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren; his father Russel Holt
and stepmother Loretta; and his 2 brothers Jim Holt and Patrick Holt.
