Andrew "Andy" F.

Jicha

Andrew Franz Jicha, age 68, passed away peacefully on November 1, 2026, with family at his side.

Andrew attended Palatine High School in Palatine, IL, and the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater. Andrew worked for nearly 30 years as an underwriter at Humana, where he developed many lasting friendships.

Andrew loved trips to the mountains, where he enjoyed fly fishing for trout and time away. He was a Cubs fan and especially enjoyed a family trip this past summer to watch them win. He and his wife also shared many wonderful adventures traveling across the country in their RV, along with their annual vacations in Florida.

Andrew was preceded in death by his beloved wife of over 40 years, Victoria, who passed away in 2025. He cared for her with love and devotion throughout her final illness.

Andrew was a loving and devoted step-father to two children, Richard (Abigail) Graef and Rachel (Steve) Yurk. He was a proud grandfather to five grandchildren, RJ (Cara), Austin (Kristin), Valerie, Stephanie, and Daniel (Emily). He was thrilled to become a great-grandfather to Luna and Oliver.

He is also survived by his loving sister, Betsy (Rich); his beloved nieces and nephew, Kristin (Greg), Jeff (Krystal), Lauren (Tyler); and their children, all of whom held a special place in his heart.

Andrew will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.

In accordance with his wishes, no services will be held. Those wishing to honor his memory may make a donation to The Friends of Holy Apostles in Oneida, Wisconsin, or to Trout Unlimited.
