Andrew John Ball

August 13, 1987 - May 24, 2018

Andrew John Ball, 30, of Boone, Iowa, went to be with his Lord and Savior on May 24th, 2018. Andrew, the eldest son of Tim & Corinne Ball, was born on August 13, 1987 in Britt, Iowa. Andrew loved his childhood on the family farm. After graduating from Ball Family Homeschool, he went on to receive his BA in Management Information Systems from Iowa State University and was employed by Ruan Transportation in Des Moines, Iowa. At age 13 Andrew met the girl who would be his future bride, Lydia Lundberg, while doing summer missions with Child Evangelism Fellowship. A few years later they started dating and were wed on May 31st, 2008 at the Evangelical Free Church of Britt. They were blessed with four precious children during their 10 years of marriage. Andrew enjoyed fishing, camping, music, reading, and playing any kind of game with family and friends. He was a wonderfully devoted and godly husband and father. Having come to faith in Christ at an early age, it was the foundation of his life. Andrew was very active in his church and other Christian ministries. He was always looking for ways to challenged himself spiritually in his relationship with Christ. Andrew loved being around those closest to him and would never hesitate to tease if given the chance. He had a wonderful sense of humor, especially with his brothers. As a husband and father, Andrew always sought out meaningful ways to enrich his family connection. He prioritized spending time with his wife and kids. Andrew is survived by his wife Lydia, daughter Abigail (7), and sons Mathias (4), Zedekiah (2), of Boone, IA; parents Tim and Corinne (Michelson) Ball of Britt, IA; brothers Lucas Ball of Britt, IA, Ethan (Abigale) Ball of Ames, IA; Grandmothers Marge Ball of Britt, IA and Wanda Michelson of Manchester, IA; and many other relatives. Andrew was preceded in death by his eldest son Ezekiel Verlin Ball (infant), Grandfathers Allen Michelson and Verlin Ball. Services will be held on Friday, June 1st at 10:30 a.m. at Christ Community Church, 5501 George Washington Carver Ave, Ames, IA 50010, with Pastor David Staff officiating. Visitation will be at Christ Community Church on Thursday, May 31th, from 4-7 p.m. and 1 hour prior to the service. Interment will be at Bethel Owen (Linn) Cemetery, Pilot Mound, Iowa. Memorials will go to the family.
