14 December 2024
The Hon. Kevin James Andrews
(1955–2024)
It is with deep sadness that I have received the news of the death of Kevin Andrews overnight.
Among so many gifts he shared, there were three dimensions to Kevin’s life that were quite extraordinary. He was:
A man of deep and remarkable faith;
A man committed wholeheartedly to marriage and family; and
A man of dedicated public service.
May the Saints and angels go out to welcome Kevin, this good and faithful servant, to eternal life.
My prayers are with Margie and family at this time.
Most Rev Peter A Comensoli
Archbishop of Melbourne
