Andy was retired from Lockheed and was a member of Holt Road Baptist Church in Marietta. He loved God, his family, and the outdoors. He lived simply and was never happier than when he was scouting for turkey and deer or, more recently, fishing his favorite trout stream with his brothers. He also never went anywhere without his camera, and was always taking pictures. He was a modern day Good Samaritan, compassionate and kind, and always doing for others. He was preceded in death by Nancy Ellen Cox Langston and Betty Jo Purdue Langston, his parents, Jake and Bessie Langston; sisters Joyce Mitchell, Ruth Langston, Jenny Langston; brothers Jim Langston, Ralph Langston, and Ronald Langston. He is survived by his children Venita and Michael Bruton of White, Renee and Ronnie White of Marietta, and Robert and Shay Langston of Woodstock; stepchildren Lee and Trisha Purdue of Seattle, Washington, Ronnie and Donna Purdue of Dallas, and Tammy Roberts of Forsyth; and grandchildren Chris and Eric Bruton, Bret and Kelly White, Drew and Olivia Langston, Jason Purdue, Joey and Eddie Purdue, and Amanda Ray, Jeremy Roberts.
