Andrew Niblock Greenwich Country CT Death – Andrew Niblock, a dedicated educator, inspiring leader, and cherished member of the Greenwich Country Day School (GCDS) community, passed away on Friday, December 6, 2024, from complications related to ALS. He was 49 years old.
Born on March 20, 1975, Andrew devoted his life to education, spending years shaping young minds and fostering meaningful connections.
At GCDS, he served as Head of the Lower School and later as Director of Schoolwide Initiatives, always prioritizing the well-being and growth of his students. His deep empathy and innovative spirit left a lasting mark on the school, its staff, and its students.
Andrew was diagnosed with ALS in 2016. Facing the disease with unwavering courage, he used his experiences to educate and inspire others. He published *The Art of Marrying Well*, a collection of essays and poems written with assistive technology, sharing his reflections on living fully and authentically. He also served on the board of the ALS Therapy Development Institute, contributing to the global effort to find a cure for ALS.
Above all, Andrew will be remembered for his kindness, resilience, and unshakable optimism. He leaves behind his wife, Eliza, their two sons, and a community profoundly shaped by his wisdom and love. A celebration of Andrew’s life will be held at Greenwich Country Day School on a date to be announced. Instead of flowers, donations may be made to the Niblock Family Trust or the ALS Therapy Development Institute in his honor.
