Andrew “Andy” John Hubert passed away unexpectedly on July 27, 2019. He was born on March 15, 1960 to George and Lillian Hubert. He leaves cherished memories with his wife, Georgia; two daughters, Amanda Kastl (Chris) and Heather Hubert; his grandchildren Aidan, Abby, Lilly and Nora; his mother, two sisters and brother, nieces and nephews in California and Illinois; along with close family in Pennsylvania; firefighter brothers and sisters throughout the United States; and other family and friends.

Andy began his career as a fireman, in high school, which led to an over 40-year career as a devoted fireman with 30 years as part of the elite Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department. Andy deployed extensively to many significant domestic and international responses, as a member of Fairfax County’s Urban Search & Rescue (US&R) task force, Virginia Task Force One (VA-TF1). In his years as a member of VA-TF1, he deployed as both a task force member and a member of the original White US&R Incident Support Team. Andy then supported response missions for both the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s National US&R Response System and the United States Agency for International Development’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance.
