Andrew Mark Boots

Andrew Mark Boots, 31, of North Judson, passed away on Sunday, March 1, 2026, in South Bend.

He was born on August 24, 1994, in Michigan City, to Mark Boots and the late Carri (Intagliata) Boots.

Andrew had a love for collecting die-cast farm toys, a hobby that reflected his appreciation for agriculture and hard work. In the early years of their marriage, he and his wife, Ellyn, worked together on a harvest crew in Scott City, Kansas, creating memories they both cherished. In the years that followed, he took pride in his work as an owner/operator truck driver. He especially enjoyed talking with his siblings and friends on the phone. Above all, Andrew’s greatest joy was spending time with his friends and family. He treasured the simple moments with his two small boys, Klayton and Kooper, doing things like working on projects around the house, fishing, riding dirt bikes and four-wheelers, or just playing outside.

He is survived by his wife, Ellyn Boots of North Judson; his sons, Klayton Boots and Kooper Boots, both of North Judson; his father and stepmother, Mark and Rose Boots of Lafayette, Indiana; his brothers, Steve (Bekah) Boots of Midlothian, Virginia; Jon (Jessica) Boots of Highlands Ranch, Colorado; Brian (Sarah) Boots of Powhatan, Virginia; Erick Boots of Westville, Indiana; Benjamin (Jorie) Boots of Michigan City, Indiana; Thomas (Jenna) Boots of Westville, Indiana; his sisters, Annie (Matt) Stephens of Sicily, Italy; Sarah (Joshua) Gross of Mechanicsville, Virginia; and Katie (Eric) Boots of LaCrosse, Indiana; along with many extended family members and friends who will dearly miss him.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Kynlee Boots, and his mother, Carri Boots.

Visitation will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Friday, March 6, 2026, at Braman & Bailey Funeral Home. Funeral services will take place at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at the funeral home, with his father-in-law Jay Yoder officiating.
