Andrew Bigelow

Andrew Bigelow was born on Wednesday, January 4, 2006, in Colorado Springs, CO as the oldest son of Matthew and Allison Bigelow. He moved with his parents to St. Cloud, MN when he was seven months old where he was joined by his sister, Aletheia in 2008 and his brother, Gideon in 2010.

When Andrew was five, the family moved to Bozeman, MT where he discovered his love of distance running. He progressed from finishing last in most cross-country races when he was eight to finishing 6th in the 800m in the NM State 5A State Championships (running for Manzano High School) in May of 2022.

He loved all aspects of computers from programming Minecraft mods and studying hardware specs to IT troubleshooting. He was hoping to pursue a degree in computer engineering at LeTourneau University.

Homeschooled for his entire academic career, he was thrilled to try classroom life doing CNM's dual credit program his junior year. His parents were thrilled with his 4.0 at CNM. His friends were horrified that he achieved this without knowing how GPA was calculated.

He loved spending time with his friends--at church, homeschool activities, Manzano High School, CNM, and work (all three jobs). He found joy in everyone he met, and every activity he was able to do. He looked forward to spending an Eternity in Heaven talking to all the people he would meet there.
