Friends of Plano resident Andrew Kuebrich are remembering him as someone who always brought laughter, who made friends all over the world, and who would literally go an extra mile — usually in his running shoes — to help those in need.
“Everyone’s just devastated,” said Kuebrich’s mother, Jill. “He was only 24-years-old, and really the light of everyone’s life... He loved to laugh and loved to make people laugh. And there’s just been this outpouring of support.”
