What began as a summer outing ended in heartbreak when 14-year-old Andrew Roberts of Clearlake, California, was found dead on June 8, 2025, after going missing during a group trip to Hidden Valley Lake.

Andrew had last been seen around 4:15 p.m., saying he was heading to the pool. A search began that evening, involving K9 teams and dive crews. By 10:40 p.m., the North Shore Dive Team recovered his body.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the tragedy and extended condolences to Andrew’s family and community. Obsidian Middle School, where Andrew had just finished 8th grade, described him as kind, spirited, and deeply loved.

A GoFundMe page launched by family member Aimee Foreman revealed Andrew had been raised by his single father, Adam. “Andrew was his whole world,” she wrote, remembering the teen’s curiosity, energy, and humor. The fundraiser, nearing its $7,500 goal, aims to help with funeral expenses.

Authorities are still investigating the circumstances, as the community mourns a vibrant young life lost too soon.
