It is with deepest sorrow that we share the sudden death of Andy Michnay. A person too wonderful for this world.

Andrew George Michnay was born on November 6, 1987, in Wisconsin. Andy grew up in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Andy loved skiing and moved West to Steamboat Springs, Colorado in 2006 where he attended Colorado Mountain College and studied Ski and Snowboard Management.

He loved to ski. Andy spent many days and nights on the hill in the winter. Skiing with friends and family. Whether he was hitting the terrain park, or hiking to find fresh powder in the backcountry, Andy loved it all.

During the summer Andy enjoyed golfing and worked at the golf course taking care of the grounds. His love for mowing was born at a young age, due to many hours of tractor riding with his dad on the farm.

He began working for Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club in 2015, and found immense joy coaching all the children he worked with. Over the years he coached and guided so many to have the same love of skiing and outdoors that he did. He became the Director of the freeski program in 2022 and worked to get more kids on the mountain every year.

Andy is preceded in death by his loving Grandparents Raymond and Suzanne Michnay and Eugene and Georgia Recknagel.

Andy will be missed and live in the warm memories of his Father and Mother Timothy and Gail Michnay of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin; older brother, Christopher (Fiona) Michnay of Waukesha, Wisconsin; older sister, Bethany (John) Mueller of Waukesha, Wisconsin; nephews and niece, Walter Mueller, Henry Mueller, Rory Michnay and Georgia Michnay, as well as many family members and friends who loved him and will miss him greatly.

Though Andy's time with us was far too short, the depth of love and kindness he shared will always remain in our hearts.

A Memorial Service celebrating Andy's life will be held on January 17, 2025 at 4:00 in the Olympian Hall at Howelson Hill in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. We invite everyone to come and remember Andy, who walked through life with a gentle strength, touching many lives with kindness and his tender heart.
