Andrew Fernando

ALLENTOWN - Andrew C. Fernando, 62, passed away peacefully on January 31, 2026, in

Allentown, Pennsylvania surrounded by his family. Born on July 2, 1963 in Manila, Philippines

and raised in Camden, NJ. Andrew was educated at St. Anthony of Padua in Camden, NJ,

Camden Catholic High School in Cherry Hill, NJ, and later graduated from Penn State

University. His early career began in education as a math teacher at Veterans Memorial School

in Camden and later in the Caribbean island of St. Thomas. Andrew transitioned into a

successful career in real estate and timeshare sales. He owned and operated real estate

ventures in New Jersey and went on to serve as Director of Timeshare Sales at Massanutten

Resorts in Virginia, where he earned several top salesman awards. His leadership and sales

expertise also took him to resorts across Las Vegas, South Carolina, and Florida. He is lovingly

remembered by his mother, Norma Fernando; his grown children, Gabriella Fernando and Ben

Fernando (Emma); his brother, Dr. Antonio Fernando; his sister, Dr. Larissa Fernando Dominy

(Ken); and his nieces Calista Dominy, Christa Dominy, and Gracie Fernando. He was preceded

in death by his father, Bienvenido Fernando. Andrew’s greatest joy was to provide for his

children to afford them a comfortable life. His passions extended beyond his professional life.

He held a brown belt in karate and enjoyed playing basketball. His favorite song was “Hotel

California”. Those who knew him will remember his passionate spirit, generosity, fierce loyalty,

sociability, hard work, determination, creativity, ambition, and sense of humor. A Celebration of

Life will be held at a later date. In honor of Andrew’s memory, contributions may be made to The
