His fiancée gave birth to twins in the same hospital just one day after the unthinkable tragedy.
Corey Muncie has since called his brother “a proper staple in the family” and spoke of the shock when he heard the news.
He told LeicestershireLive: “He was everything you would want in an older brother and more.
“I was at home when my mum rang me [to tell me what had happened] and it was pure shock – it stunned me completely.
“I hugged my partner and then it was just panic and I started to rush to get to the hospital.”
Andrew was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit at Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham on August 7.
Tragically, Andrew died “suddenly” four days later on August 11.
Andrew and his fiancée also share a three-year-old daughter, who has been described as his “absolute world”.
Arran Ashmole, 34, Andrew and Corey’s cousin, set up a GoFundMe page after he said he felt “compelled” to help and support Andrew’s family.
“My mind still rejects the idea [that Andrew is gone] to be honest. We considered ourselves to be pretty much like brothers, and he was my best friend and best man at my wedding.”
