Andrew “Andy” Leffler

Andrew “Andy” Leffler, 69, of Keokuk, Iowa, passed away on Saturday, August 15,
2026, at Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center in West Burlington, Iowa.
Andy was born on April 2, 1957, at the naval base in Corona, California, the son of
George Floyd Leffler and Margaret Ann “Peggy” (Baxter) Leffler Mullins. He graduated
from Warsaw High School in 1975. On June 14, 2009, he was united in marriage to
Sarah Christine “Chris” Leffler in Yachats, Oregon. She survives.
Andy was a jack of all trades, working many jobs throughout his career. His life was
defined by his love of God, guns, country and family. He loved his children and
grandchildren with his whole heart. Andy was his daughter Kristie’s angel. He enjoyed
relaxing with a fishing pole in his hands, tinkering on lawn mowers and riding his
motorcycle. His ornery and gregarious personality combined with a dry sense of humor
made Andy a beloved fixture of his family and community. He was a grizzly bear on the
outside and a teddy bear on the inside. Andy proudly served his country in the United
States Air Force.
Andy is survived by his wife Sarah Christine “Chris” Leffler of Keokuk; six children: Eric
Leffler of Keokuk, Kristie (Josiah) O’Neil of Keokuk, Aimee Nelson of Warsaw, James
Patterson of Keokuk, Michael Davis (Significant other Aubrey Cosgrove) of Keokuk, and
Nikki (Shawn) Stark of Keokuk; his sister Beth Ann (Thomas) Dierkes of Arrington,
Tennessee; his step-brother Larry Mullins of Newtown, Missouri; twelve grandchildren;
five great-grandchildren; and many other family members.
Andy is preceded in death by his parents.
