Andrew "Andy" Smerud

July 19, 1960 — November 11, 2016

Andy J. Smerud, 56, of Red Wing, died Friday, Nov. 11, 2016 at his home, surrounded by his family. He was born July 19, 1960, in Rochester, to Terrence and Joan (Anderson) Smerud. He grew up in California prior to moving to Red Wing, where he attended Red Wing Central High. On March 5, 1983, he married Lynette Diercks in Las Vegas. They lived in Red Wing and raised their two boys. For over 23 years, he was employed at Tim Amdahl's Red Wing Motors, formerly Jorgensen's, as a mechanic and service manager. He retired in 2003 due to health reasons. He was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church. Throughout his life, Andy enjoyed traveling, boating, fishing, camping, going to baseball games and reading.
