Obituary
Andrew Ewing Nahm, 66,
passed away after a brief illness on June 13, 2026,
in McComb, Mississippi.
Born on April 5, 1960,
in Greeley, Colorado, Andrew was the son of Mary
Jane Connell Nahm. He was raised in Natchitoches,
Louisiana, where he developed the gracious southern
hospitality that would define him throughout his
life. As a child, he enjoyed spending his summers
with his extended family on their farms in central
Illinois, where he formed lifelong memories and
family connections that remained important to him
throughout his life.
Andrew graduated from Louisiana State University in
1987 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Interior
Design. After graduation, he began his professional
career in New York City, where he worked as an
interior designer for Laura Ashley and contributed
to a variety of beautiful residential and commercial
projects. He later returned to New Orleans, building
a successful career as an interior designer,
creating elegant spaces that reflected his
creativity, refined eye, and appreciation for
beauty.
Andrew was a bon
vivant with a gift for entertaining. He delighted in
opening his home to family and friends. His annual
Mardi Gras Thoth Parade brunch became a cherished
tradition, bringing friends together every Mardi
Gras Sunday for a day filled with laughter, food,
and lavish celebration.
He had a lifelong love for animals, especially his
beloved dog, Boone, who was his faithful companion.

Andrew will be
remembered for his vibrant personality, colorful
stories, creative spirit, and enduring friendships.
He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
Andrew was preceded in death by his mother, his
beloved second “mother”, Loneta “Tee” Graves, and
his partner Alan Fetzer.
He will be laid to
rest at McLean Cemetery in McLean, Illinois, during
a graveside service at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday,
August 6, 2026. A Celebration of Life will be held
August 15, 2026, at the Columns Hotel from 2:00 p.m.

others, or making a donation to an animal rescue
