Warren – Andrew “Andy” Cristo, 93, left this world to join his family in heaven on August 5, 2026. The youngest sibling from a family of six children, he was preceded in death by his parents Michael Sr. and Julia, his brothers Michael Jr., Martin and Nick, and his sisters Julie and Anna.

Andy was born in the small mining town of Elkhorn, West Virginia. The family moved to Warren, Ohio where he graduated from Harding High School. He served honorably in the United States Army and worked at Van Huffel after his discharge.

The designated family driver, Andy loved to travel with his parents and sisters throughout the United States. He excelled at bowling, raised dogs and parakeets and enjoyed painting and designing jewelry, but his favorite activity was playing the slots at Mountaineer, Hollywood Racino in Austintown and Las Vegas.

Andy is survived by nephew, Martin Cristo and nieces, Sandra Lee Waters, Susan Augustine, Nicianne Shunkwiler and Candy Hurst. The family would like to thank Gillette Skilled Nursing Home and Akeso Hospice for their compassionate care and, especially, his cousin Gloria Berish for her help and support.

He was a lifelong member of St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church, 2053 North Rd NE, Warren, Ohio, 44483.

Family and friends may visit and pay tribute to Andy on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 from 10 am to 11 am at St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church. A funeral service will follow at 11am.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to St, Nicholas Orthodax Church, 2053 North Rd. N.E., Warren, Ohio 44483 in his memory.
