Dam, Dre I still can’t believe bro this is the only pic o have of us, it was your birthday after you guys moved into Heather’s parents house. We talked on the phone last year, I wish I would have taken you up on the lunch offer and met up.  You  are a a true homie in your time of need I was there for you and when I needed you you told me “ i got you scoob your my boy” I will see you again homie rest  in paradise. 

No words can mend the broken hearts with the loss of my brother in law. Andre was always so welcoming to me and my kids and anyone else who came around. I’m grateful I got to know, spend time and make memories with Andre and the rest of the family. He will truly be missed. 
As I said the last time I got to see him “keep watching over the family, like you always have!”

Though our visit was short, it will always remain memorable...thank you for sharing precious time with us, Andre; may God bless & rest your soul, & grant Heather and the kids comfort on this journey....George & Dede Heron 💙

I had the honor of being Andre’s baby sister. Since I could remember, Andre was always my safe haven, my protector and a dad in training. My brother would always make sure that Mando and I where protected from whatever he thought would do us harm. I remember when I was little we were at my grandmas house and in the middle of the night as we were sleeping on the floor in the living room an earthquake struck. I remember my brother pulling us under the table and he had his arms around Mando and I. That’s just who he was, always playing the dad roll. 
As we got older, Andre’ always wanted to make it a point to make sure that family was first and that we would stay connected whether it be a barbecue, a boxing fight on HBO, or birthday party. He definitely was the life of the party. He loved celebrating his amazing children's accomplishments. As well as his nieces and nephews who he loved so much. He wear the Nino hat with so much pride. My brother was the backbone to this family.
I still can’t make sense of this and I know I shouldn’t ask why, but I do. Our family wasn’t ready to do life without you. God needed a very strong man to help build his kingdom. This isn’t goodbye BIG Brother, until I see you in Heaven. 
I love you with all my heart! 

Andre’s little sister,

Gloria Salas


This night he know he looked handsome, but he couldn’t wait for me to see his outfit. 

I remember being about 12-13 years old and Andre moved in with our grandparents. I always wanted to hang out with him because I thought he was the older cool cousin. 
He never made me feel like I was the younger cousin that tagged along, he actually wanted to hang out w/me. 
He would call me C.C. Ima pick you up let’s go to tower records., or  even just the store or the mall. Driving in grandma’s Vette or Grandpa’s truck. 
Those memories I will always cherish cause we would just talk and listen to music. 
I’ll always remember him trying to beat me in basketball, he gave his best effort lol. 
Andre was the older brother I never had. I still can’t believe I’ll never see or talk to him again. They say don’t question God, but I do. Andre you’ll always be the hulk to me. Always so strong and worrying about everyone else.. Cousin until we met again. Rest Easy, Love your cousin

Met Andre on Thursday, January 26th. We chatted about the company he worked for and the company I work for. I learned that he loved hats. In fact, I have hats for him in my car. I really enjoyed meeting with him. He was a down to earth, knowledgeable guy. He loved  his company and the industry he worked in. I am thankful I was able to get 45 minutes of his time. My condolences to his family, friends, and co-workers. 

You were taken without any expectation, and your loss is felt so deeply. We will miss you 🤙🏽 .

I do understand that God needs Angels in heaven but what I don’t understand is why he took my Cousin Andre a son ,grandson ,nephew , sibling  ,cousin ,husband , father ,uncle  and friend he will be missed 24/7  he always made time to be there for his family I still remember him as a young boy working on bicycles any kind of handy man jobs occasionally, he would join in and play with his cousins if he wasn’t helping our grandfather work around the house I know that whatever bicycle he is working on in heaven it will allow him to ride around and around so he can he see that he was very much loved by his family and everyone Cousin Andre May you Rest in peace Your Cousin Irene .

 I had the pleasure of knowing Andre for about 2 years.  He was definitely one of my best customers and  an awesome presence to be around.  Every time I would stop in we would chat it up for a while.  Talk about the angels we would talk about life It truly felt like I've known him my whole life.  I was heartbroken when I received the news from the owner of the company he works for.  I was in total disbelief I had just seen him a few days ago.  We talked some businesses that need to be taken care of and I had mentioned to him that I was 
going to take him to an angel's game for being such a great customer of mine. I will truly miss the conversations we would have.  Until we meet again friend may you rest in power!

To the family I know I can rid the pain your have right now but I hope my story put a smile on your face.
