To the family, many, many friends, colleagues and fans of Andre Harrell fine comfort with you during this difficult time in your lives. We enjoyed his songs and the many groups he help as a leader in the hip-hop and R&B scene, in the 1990s. May you find comfort in your wealth of fond memories together. May Almighty God in the Heavens comfort your hearts with peace and loving kindness as you cope with this precious loss in your lives.

Crushing to hear that Andre Harrell had passed. He was the creator of some of the best music I've ever heard in my life (and I'm a musichead), music that is the soundtrack to some of the best times and years of my life. Such a talented and innovative man. Saddens me to know he cant be hear to continue to enjoy his family and the fruits of his labor. My heartfelt condolences to Andre's family, friends and coworkers. Fly even higher, Andre!

I can recall attending Lehman College, Andre Harrell sponsored a dance contest.I was all up in the dance contest. I won second place because Andre Harrell said my partner and I did the doggone thing! I remember the era of Hip-Hop when it was reputable and we just had plain fun. No lewdness, no rudeness, nothing but fun. I remember the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde formation. We were young, vibrant, passionate and creative in Arts and Music. I remember he wanted to be a Newscaster. I wanted to be a Journalist. Andre Harrell reminds me of a different time and space when our dreams were so close, we could touch them!!! I will always respect and remember Mr. Andre Harrell. Rest on Man of Purpose. You have completed your journey!!!!
