Andy Joe Meneely, 44, entered into the arms of his Lord and Jesus Christ on
Sunday, November 19, 2023, at Decatur County Memorial Hospital. Andy was born on
March 5, 1979, kicking, and screaming in Greensburg, to Patricia Meneely. Andy
grew up in Decatur County, attending all of his educational years in the
Greensburg Community School system, and had been a consumer of Developmental
Services, Inc. for many years. Several interests kept him busy in his spare
time: watching movies, playing video games, taking apart and reconstructing
computers, hanging out with friends, and playing sports. Andy enjoyed his time
as part of the Special Olympics Indiana program in Decatur, Jackson, and
Clark/Floyd Counties. He participated in basketball, bowling, track and field,
softball, volleyball, and many additional sports throughout his Special Olympics
years. Andy’s infectious smile, kind heart and amazing personality will be
missed by his sister, Katie Meneely of Arizona; his uncle, Robert Darby of
Greensburg; nieces; several cousins; his foster parents and siblings who he
lived with for many years; his DSI housemates; co-workers, and his Special
Olympics family. Andy is preceded in death by his mother; brother, Jarin Boyd;
grandparents, Eugene and Katherine Jones; aunts, Pam Wilson and Kathy Welsh and
a cousin, Chris Ebbing. A celebration of Andy’s life will take place on
Tuesday, November 28, 2023, with visitation from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at
Bass and Gasper Funeral Home in Westport. Funeral services will be held at 1:00
p.m. at the funeral home. Burial will follow at Westport Cemetery. Memorials can
