In loving memory of Baby Andrew Nicholas Barron

Services will be held on Thursday, October 7 at 11 am at Mish Funeral Home, 120 Minner Ave. in Bakersfield, for baby Andrew Nicholas Barron, who died peacefully at his mother's side on Sept. 29, 2004. Pastor Todd Warren will officiate.

Andrew was born healthy on May 8, 2004 in Bakersfield, but within days he developed a deadly GBS infection. For many weeks, Andrew struggled with seizures and many other serious problems. People around the world prayed for him in his time of need, and God answered their prayers. Andrew lived for months without artificial life support, amazing his medical caregivers and bringing glory to God.

Andrew is survived by his parents, Jessica Bell and Jamie Barron, brothers James and Matthew Barron, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and many friends at LifeSavers Ministries.
