Andrew James Jorgenson

FORT ATKINSON - Andrew James Jorgenson, 39, tragically died as a result of a car accident on May 17, 2024.  Andy was born on Feb. 22, 1985, grew up in Stoughton and graduated from Stoughton High School in 2003.  He received his degree in Golf Course Management from Southwest Tech in 2008. He worked at many golf courses in the Madison area, taking great pride in making them perfect. He was often commended for his meticulous attention to detail and was highly respected for his talent in revitalizing golf courses. Most recently, he was the Superintendent at The Oaks in Cottage Grove.  

Andy was an avid golfer and sports fan. He loved country music, especially his favorite, Eric Church.  He loved spending time with family and friends, but most of all, he loved his dog and best friend, Otis (Big O).  

Andy is survived by his parents, Mark Jorgenson of Madison and Margie Johnsrud of Dodgeville; his siblings, Eric of Prairie du Sac, Melissa (Chad) of Mount Horeb and Kyle (Patti) of Cottage Grove; as well as his nephews and nieces, Elijah, Ava, Reese, Mason, Sullivan and Caroline.  He is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins; as well as his lifelong friend, Toren Nestburg and her family, who were family to Andy.  Andy was preceded in death by his grandparents, Maynard and Ruth Jorgenson and Fred and Patricia Grimm.  

Andy was a guy of few words but had a huge heart for all he loved. He was a man of few words, but when he spoke he was extremely funny. He will be deeply missed.  

A celebration of life will be held at the GUNDERSON FITCHBURG FUNERAL AND CREMATION CARE, 2950 Chapel Valley Road, Fitchburg, from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 29, 2024. A time of sharing memories will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Mother & Son

I would give my life to have you back,

Said his Mum.

I know you would, said her son.

I cry each night for you, said his Mum.

And I catch all of your tears said her son.

I pray for the day I can see you again,

Said his Mum

Close your eyes and you can see me,

Said her son….

You are the first person who loved me,

And you are the first person I loved.

You were always there when I needed you,

And you always knew when I needed a hug.

I am here for you now, mum

In your heart and in your soul.

I did not take your heart with me

Instead I left mine with you to hold.  

One day I will take your hand

And lead you into paradise,

But until then my beautiful mother,

When you want to see me

You only need to close your eyes….

-E. Warby
