WURL - Andrew D.
June 1, 1964 - January 3, 2021. Passed away in the comfort of his own home surrounded by family, under the care of hospice. Welcomed into heaven by parents Donald and Carol Wurl; survived by his wife, Tracie (McCullough); children Ashley (Andrew) Knoell, Megan (Joe) Henderson, Clayton "Boots" Wurl; grandchildren Jayden, Kyler, Hunter, Maddyn, Rexton and Macey, who still believe he is a shark bite survivor; loving brother of Al (Kathy), Nick, and Chuck; son-in-law of Frank and Anne McCullough; brother-in-law of Terri, Frank and Moose (Lori). He will be missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and great friends. Andy was a member of American Legion post #1451 where he could be found making and serving his world-famous chowder, also a member of The Friendly Bobcats. Andy aka "Natty Daddy" was a fun, loving guy "chicks digged him, fish feared him." You could always find him in his man cave having a beer, watching the Bills play, listening to country music or working on his magic tricks. Captain Andy was a legend in the Outer Banks, fishing at all hours, rescuing sea turtles, and befriending everyone in his path. Andy's most proud achievement in life was marrying his wife Tracie, who supported him in all his glory during his heyday and lovingly supported him during their last days together. We will hold a Celebration of Life ceremony at a later date for his many friends and family.
