Andrew Carl Sternaman, 60, of Black River Falls, died unexpectedly Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025.  

Andrew was born in Evanston, IL, April 10, 1965, to John and Janet Sternaman.  He spent his formative years in Park Ridge, IL, before moving with his family to Black River Falls, WI, in 1978.  Andrew was a 1984 graduate of Black River Falls High School and later attended UW-Stout.
