Andrew H. "Andy" Duvall

Andrew Harold Duvall, 74, of Edgewood, Texas, passed away peacefully in Tyler, Texas, with his wife, Susan, by his side. He was born in Sweetwater, Texas, to Harold and Doris Duvall, both deceased.

Andy made his home in Edgewood for many years, where he and Susan built a life full of family, friendship, and laughter. Originally from Roscoe, he later moved to Abilene, where he played quarterback for the Abilene Cooper Cougars before attending Southern Methodist University. While at SMU, he earned both undergraduate and law degrees, was an Academic All-American, recipient of the Hatton W. Sumners Foundation Scholarship, and SMU's nominee for the Rhodes Scholarship. He proudly played strong safety for the Mustangs—known to his teammates as "Monster Man"—and was an alumnus of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

Andy's professional life was as wide-ranging as his talents. He founded and led several successful companies, including Andrew H. Duvall, Inc., Elixir Exploration Company, and VISTACOM, Inc. His ventures also included Colorado real estate opportunities. Later, he worked as an independent Landman, fondly called “The General", and was admired throughout Texas. His proudest achievement was his long-time creative adventure, King Trout, LLC—a business combining entrepreneurial skill with artistic passion, designing and selling distinctive fishing-themed art pieces featuring handcrafted boxes and fishing hooks.

A gifted fly fisherman and deep-sea angler, Andy found peace and purpose with a rod in hand and the outdoors as his sanctuary.

He is survived by his loving wife of 31 years, Susan; sons Barton and wife Eloise, Reed and wife Kelly, Trey and wife Julie, and Drew and wife C.J.; step-daughter Sarah Spencer and husband Cole; eight grandchildren; his loyal dog, Deets; and his fabulous friends, teammates, business associates, church and community friends.

The family wishes to thank the compassionate staff of Primrose Memory Care and Kindful Hospice in Tyler for their care and warmth.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, where family, friends and neighbors can gather to honor Andy's remarkable life.

May he have fair winds and calm waters forever.
