In Loving Memory of Andrew Salgado

With deep sadness, we remember Andrew Salgado of Miller Place, New York, a beloved youth player with the B2012 MLS NEXT Academy Division at Atlantic United SC.

Andrew’s passing on April 30, 2026, has brought immense grief to his family, teammates, coaches, and the entire soccer community. He was a young athlete with passion, dedication, and a love for the game that shone through every time he stepped on the field.

To those who knew him, Andrew was more than a teammate—he was a friend, a hardworking player, and a bright presence within his team. His energy, spirit, and commitment to growth left a lasting impression on everyone around him, both on and off the pitch.

In moments like this, words feel insufficient. What remains is the memory of who Andrew was: a young life filled with promise, surrounded by a community that cared deeply for him. His absence will be felt at practices, matches, and in every corner where his presence once brought joy.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Salgado family, as well as to the entire AUSC family, who now share in this profound loss. May you find strength in one another and comfort in the memories you hold close.

Andrew’s time here was far too short, but his impact will be remembered by those who had the privilege of knowing him.

May he rest in peace. 🕊️
