Charles Andrew Bott, 66, of Frostproof, FL passed away Friday, January 12, 2018 at his home surrounded by family and loved ones after a courageous battle with brain cancer.

Andy was a self-made man who served his country with pride. After his discharge from the Air Force he spent three months exploring America on his Triumph 650 motorcycle. He then proceeded to work in Alaska for a year to put himself thru college. Andy then attended San Diego University Law School and graduated with honors. He joined the Wyndham Co. and quickly became an executive in the legal department. After twenty years of dedication he retired in 2016.

Andy loved camping, hiking, traveling the country and exploring new things. Andy and his wife, Ester once hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, then turned around and hiked back out in one day. One-way Andy loved to unwind was to play his guitar.

Andy is survived by his wife, Ester of 42 years; daughters, Christina (Luder) Palacios and Amanda Lettman; grandchildren, Ashley, Michael and Braydon Palacios; great-grandson, Elijah Palacios; brothers, Jeffrey (Lynn) Bott and Steven (Rossy) Bott.

Andy was preceded in death by his parents, George and Eileen Bott; brother, Rick Bott; and sisters, Mary Jo Knudsen and Connie Flood.

A memorial service will be held 11:00 AM, Thursday, January 18, 2018 at the First Presbyterian Church, 101 N. Palm Avenue, Frostproof, FL 33843. A reception will follow the services.
