Andrew “Andy” Clement Hafertepe, 50, passed away surrounded by the love of his family after a courageous battle with brain cancer.
Born on December 8, 1975, in Park Ridge, Illinois, Andy spent his childhood in Mount Prospect before later living in Chicago and eventually making his home in Munster, Indiana.
Andy dedicated his entire career to the logistics field and was a proud graduate of the University of Iowa, where he was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. A lifelong Chicago sports fan and proud Iowa Hawkeye, Andy rarely missed the chance to cheer on his favorite teams. More than anything, he loved passing that passion on to his sons, Hank and AJ. Whether watching a game together, talking sports, or celebrating a big win, those moments became some of his family’s most treasured memories.
Above all else, Andy was a devoted husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. His greatest joy was his family, and he treasured every moment spent with them. His strength, kindness, sense of humor, and unwavering love for those around him will be remembered always.
Andy is survived by his beloved wife, Allison (née Stalmack) Hafertepe; his cherished sons, Hank, 13 and AJ, 10; his mother, Mary Hafertepe; his siblings, Michael (Kelly) Hafertepe, Jeanne (Tom) Hamilton, Jan (Al) Gunneson, Joseph (Karen) Hafertepe, and Kathy (Paul) Cacioppo; his father and mother-in-law, Joseph and Deborah Stalmack; brothers and sisters-in-law, Todd and Kathryn Stalmack and John and Jessica Jamicich; and his 23 nieces and nephews, all of whom held a special place in his heart. He was preceded in death by his father, Herbert “Herbie” Hafertepe.
Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 am on Monday, August 3, 2026 at Kish Funeral Home 10000 Calumet Ave. Munster, IN with Reverend Charles Niblick officiating. Visitation will be on Sunday, at the funeral home from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm and again on Monday, at the funeral home from 10:00 am until the 11:00 am service. Interment will be private.
Andy will be deeply missed by his family, friends, colleagues, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy of love, resilience, and generosity will live on in the many lives he touched.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial donations be made in Andy’s memory to support the Hospice of the Calumet Area or brain cancer research through the American Cancer Society.
A Celebration of Life for Family and Friends will take place at a later date.

Dear Hafertepe family,
My deepest condolences to you all. I have known Andy since I was 5, we grew up together watching our brothers play football and wrestle at PHS.

To Allie and his boys, Im sending you all lots of love and prayers. May the good memories of Andy bring a smile to your heart. I’m so sorry for your loss. To the rest of the Hafertepe the deepest condolences as well, from the Janetzkes. We are all so lucky to have had Andy in our lives!

His energy was felt throughout our entire division. He was extremely witty, fiercely smart, and generous to all. I hope his boys grow up to know that their Dad was an incredible mentor and influence to all that surrounded him. I know his legacy will be eternal. May he rest in peace.

During this season of heavy grief, I am reminded of the words of 2 Timothy 4:7: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." Hafertepe ran his race with extraordinary strength and unwavering love for those around him.
