Dr. Andrew Todd Reiners

Dr. Andrew Todd Reiners, 69, of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, passed away on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at his home.

He was born on June 19, 1957, to the late Harry Richard Reiners and Elizabeth Marie Oesau Reiners in Caledonia, Minnesota.

Andrew attended Purdue University for his undergraduate studies and went on to graduate from Indiana University School of Medicine. He also proudly served in the National Guard. Andrew practiced anesthesiology in Indianapolis before transitioning to working with insurance companies, where he continued to use his medical knowledge and experience to help guide healthcare decisions and serve others in a different way.

He had a deep curiosity about the world and a love for adventure. Andrew loved to travel and often preferred to leave parts of a trip unplanned, believing some of the best experiences came from discovering places along the way. He enjoyed staying active and spending time outdoors, whether running, biking, skiing, golfing, or simply observing and appreciating nature. Andrew also loved music, good food, good wine, good friends, and even better conversation.

Andrew had an appreciation for all things interesting and beautiful. An avid collector, his interests and collections were always evolving, but his love of beautiful antiques remained a constant. He frequently bought and sold antiques, making his collection an ever-changing reflection of his interests and discoveries. He also took great pride in being the family historian. He lovingly preserved and displayed family photographs, often gifting them to relatives along with the stories and history behind them. He understood the importance of remembering where you came from and made sure those connections were shared with the next generation.

A member of Mensa, Andrew had an extraordinary intellect and an insatiable curiosity. He was often the most intelligent person in the room, but he never made anyone feel that way. Instead, he took a genuine interest in others, making people feel valued, heard, and important. His intelligence was matched by his compassion. While he spent much of his professional life caring for others, that same instinct extended to the people he loved. He cared deeply for his family and friends and protected those closest to him fiercely.

In addition to his parents, Andrew was preceded in death by his brother, Paul Reiners; and his nephew, Tyson Anderson.

Those left to cherish his memory include his significant other, Victoria Young; his brother, Michael Reiners; his sisters, Amy West and Maria (Tony) Anderson; his nieces and nephews, Amy Lehman, Erika (Josh) Luster, Jason Anderson, James (Maggie) West, Dylan (Kaitlyn) Anderson, David (Alli) West, and Alyssa Anderson; and several great-nieces and great-nephews.

A funeral service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at Hayworth-Miller Silas Creek Chapel. The family will receive one hour prior to the service at the funeral home. Burial will immediately follow the service at Forsyth Memorial Park.
