ANDREW C. TREVENTI JR. LOUDONVILLE - After a long journey with Multiple Sclerosis, Andrew Charles Treventi, Jr. has begun his journey to be with the Lord. Born in Troy, NY on June 28, 1957 to the late Andrew and Margaret (Graber) Treventi, he passed peacefully at the Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany on Friday, January 28, 2022. Andy was a graduate of St. Jude's School and Catholic Central High School, served in the Navy from 1975 through 1979, and graduated from the Machinist Apprentice program at the Watervliet Arsenal where he worked until his retirement in 1999. On April 12, 1986 he married his devoted wife and caregiver Justina (Dubuque) and in 1989 they welcomed their light and joy, daughter Stephanie, who now resides in Burbank, CA. Andy was a loyal husband and a thoughtful, supportive father.

In addition to his parents and in-laws, he is predeceased by brother Philip Treventi. Andy enjoyed participating in adaptive sports and for several years traveled annually to the Winter Sports Clinic in Aspen, CO and the National Veterans Wheelchair Games in various cities. Bowling, skiing and weightlifting were a few of his favorites. He liked to cruise and visit casinos with his wife and listen to his daughter ramble about her favorite TV shows, then watch them with her.
