Guy “Kaz” Andrews – Saskatoon Amateur Slopitch Association

3/10/1980 – 5/20/2011

Kaz Andrews has been a player/coach and executive member of SASPA for many years, after starting his own Co-ed team Zit Remedy in 2003 he genuinely respected the efforts put forth by the members and with his love for the game he couldn’t resist being a part of it. On the field he was a fierce competitor, off the field he was your best friend. With his infectious smile and one of the most familiar laughs you could hear at the ball park, Kaz was well known around the league. When Kaz was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had his first surgery in March 2009 he treated it like any error in the game, never slowing him down, it happened lets move on and I’ll be good for the next one. Despite multiple surgeries and treatments Kaz was able to compete in Div 1 with Mens and Co-ed last summer and never missed meetings for the league. With his wife Rae Lynn by his side and the birth of his daughter Sloan in May 2009 he had more than enough to fight for. Players and friends of the league played a pivitol role in the fundraisers for his family that were held over the last couple years, something that Kaz couldn’t appreciate enough and even though he was unable to thank everyone in person he definitely tried. After six surgeries and a relentless fight against this terrible disease Kaz passed away Friday May 20th peacefully and without pain. In commemoration of Kaz Andrews SASPA voted to have Division 1 Co-ed renamed the Kaz Andrews Division out of respect for everything that he did for the league and for us all on a personal level. On behalf of the Zit Remedy family I would like to thank you all for your help throughout Kaz’s battle! Thank You! Kaz Andrews March 10th 1980- May 20th 2011

There is a Celebration of Kaz’s life being held Monday May 30th at TCU Place Salons C&D from 2-5pm with a formal program, speaking a few words about Kaz starting at 3pm. Everyone is welcome to attend! Kaz’s brother said it best “If you’re unsure you should go, that means that Kaz definitely wanted you to be there.”
