In Celebration of
ANDRIUS “ANDY” TOMAS KAROSAS
May 10, 1968 - September 5, 2025
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Andrius “Andy” Karosas on Friday, September 5, 2025, at the age of 57. Andy was a devoted husband of 31 years to Meredith and a loving father to Bryanne, AJ, and Jack.
Andy is survived by his loving mother, Valerija, and was predeceased by his father, Donatas (2017). He will be forever cherished by his siblings Rima (Marcel), Urbanc, Gintaras (Karin), Laima (Vincent) Laffitte, and Paul. He was also predeceased by Meredith’s mother Elizabeth Warton (2019). Andy will be deeply missed by father-in-law Brian Warton and sisters-in-law Michele and Melissa who embraced Andy as one of their own. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews who will hold his memory close to their hearts.
Andy will always be remembered for his big smile, his kindness, and his unforgettable hugs. He dedicated his life to building lasting friendships through his 32 years of work at Encore, his involvement in the Lithuanian community and the countless hours spent supporting his children’s activities. Some of his happiest moments were as Bryanne’s dance dad and as AJ and Jack’s baseball coach. No matter where he went, Andy left people better for having known him. His legacy of love, encouragement, and joy will live on in everyone who had the privilege of knowing him– especially his closest friends.
The Karosas family would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Credit Valley Hospital and Juravinski Cancer Centre for their compassionate care and support throughout Andy’s illness.
A private family funeral will take place in the coming days. Later in October, Meredith, Bryanne, AJ, and Jack will host a Celebration of Andy’s Life, where they warmly invite all who knew and loved him to join. Details to be shared soon.
Though Andy was taken from us far too soon, his love, laughter, and spirit will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of everyone who knew him.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations in Andy’s memory to Trillium Health Partners or Juravinski Cancer Centre.
