About A_Dog

DJ/Turntabalist Andy “A_Dog” Williams was the epitome of generosity, positivity and curiosity. His passion and innovation in skateboarding, music, and art earned him recognition as a musical talent and a cultural icon. In December 2012, Andy was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). On December 26, 2013 Andy passed away due to complications post-bone marrow transplant. Andy played an integral role in the creation of Burlington’s first skatepark and was always an inspiring and welcoming presence there. He was passionate about skateboarding and all things influenced by the culture: music, art, design and above all, the sense of community. Beyond all his many accomplishments, Andy A_Dog Williams will be remembered for being a genuine and extraordinary human being who constantly gave the best of himself, both to those who knew and loved him, as well as the many strangers who were touched by his kindness. Friends for A_Dog Foundation was formed as a non-profit in 2013 to continue his amazing legacy and put forward his positive influence.
