David "Andy" Andrew McCay

David Andrew "Andy" McCay, 65, of Crossett, passed away on Friday, September 8, 2023.  Andy was born on April 4, 1958, to his loving parents, Samuel and Betty Townsend McCay, and was a 1976 graduate of Crossett High School.

Andy worked at Hood Packaging (formerly known as Bemis Bag Co.) for over three decades.  His role as father and provider was paramount in his life, instilling values of hard work and determination in his children and leaving an indelible mark on their lives.

Andy's deep love for learning was evident in his well-read nature and impeccable memory.  He was never one to shy away from expressing his thoughts and opinions and was known for being outspoken on matters close to his heart.

One of his greatest passions was sports.  Andy enjoyed all sports, especially Arkansas Razorback Baseball.  His knowledge of sports statistics was unparalleled, and he could easily recount facts and figures, and loved attending games with his children.

Though he often kept to himself, Andy loved to connect with others through music.  He was a lifelong music lover, a talented guitar player and vocalist, and he enjoyed sharing his own renditions. 

He is preceded in death by his parents and survived by his daughter, Caitlin Farris (Nathan) of Fayetteville, AR; one son, Joshua McCay of Derry, New Hampshire; and one brother, Scotty McCay (Judy) of Crossett; along with one precious granddaughter, Mollie Farris.

A Graveside Service will be held at 3:00 p.m., Wednesday, September 13th, at Crossroads Cemetery with Rev. Toby Austin, officiating.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Crossett Canine Rescue in his memory.

Services entrusted to Medders Funeral Home of Crossett.
