The teen was wearing a helmet when he crashed near his Palatine home on Saturday, the Daily Herald reported.
Marisa Marton described her son as an "extremely hardworking young man."
She told ABC 7 that Andrew was a four-sport athlete and a straight A student.
"He reffed hockey, caddied golf, and mowed lawns," Marisa Marton said. "He was unconditionally loyal to his friends and family. He was the best big brother to Zach."

Marton's family, friends and peers held a vigil for the teen outside Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge on Wednesday, the northwest suburban newspaper reported.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help his family cover medical expenses.
