“I hope everyone will be sensitive to the Koenigs and give the family some private time to reflect and to grieve the loss of their beloved son,” he said about Andrew’s parents Star Trek Star Walter Koenig and his wife Judy. “At a time like this, we all are reminded of the briefness of life and the importance of being ready for our eternal destination. My prayers will continue to be with Andrew’s family.”
Andrew had been missing since Valentine’s Day. He had moved out of his Venice apartment and moved to Vancouver. Walter had asked the media and the public to help in the search of his son. And on Thursday night that search came to a tragic end.
