Abrams, Andrew C.

Bristol

Abrams, Andrew C., 67, passed away on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at Rhode Island Hospital. Born in Providence, a son of the late Victor and Leah (Eisenstadt) Abrams, he had lived in Bristol for 2 years but had spent most of his adult life in Pawtucket. Andrew was a treasured member of The ARC of Blackstone Valley for over 20 years where he cultivated bonds and friendships with housemates and staff alike.

Andrew is described as an enthusiastic and easy-going person. He was as happy to go for walks with his housemates as he was to visit concerts and play basketball. Prior to COVID, Andrew was a devoted volunteer with the Blackstone Valley gardening project at Daggett Farm, he proudly tended to the plants: watering and weeding were his specialties, when given the opportunity, he would make very involved and beautiful arrangements that would later be sold to the community. Andrew sought out new experiences and eventually he, along with his dearest friends, Jim and John, would be known as the 3-Musketeers; they bowled together, painted pots together and participated in Best Buddies and attended the Special Olympics. Andrew was non-verbal, but his enthusiasm and joy were contagious, he followed the flow of life and made sure to stop and appreciate it in his own ways.

A devoted best friend of Jim and John, a dear friend Ryan, who has been consistently by his side for many years and Angela, as well as the entire community of The Arc of Blackstone Valley. Dear brother of Marlene Miller, her husband Stephen, of San Francisco, CA. Beloved uncle of Joseph (Nabat), Aaron, and Lee. He was also the great-uncle of Leah and Nathan.
