Andre, I just wanted to sign your guestbook one last time before it was taken off of this website. It still seems almost unreal to be reading your orbituary and signing your guestbook but I am. I hope and pray that you are able to live a better, happier eternal life now that you have passed away. I hope that all of your dreams that you shared on earth, would be accomplished in heaven. The Andre that I knew was kind and always had something positive to say. I will always remember that Andre because he holds a special place in my heart.
Your friend forever,
Tasha

Andre,
I just wanted to say that I will miss you very much. Even thought we grew a part I will never forget the relationship we had. I rememder all of the days we shared together with dad. There is not a day that went by that I didn't think of you and wonder how you were doing. I just wanted to say that I love you and miss you very much. I just want to let you know that you are in a safer place now. It's still hard to believe that you are gone. I just look at your picture everyday of you and dad,You and him looked so much alike. Well Andre I just want you to know that I love you and you will never be forgotten. Tell Dad I said Hi and that I love and miss him too.
Love Your Sister,
Tamecia Evans

Dre...I miss you so much and I will love you forever. I will always remember your laugh, your smile, you face: YOU. You were a unique individual and your personality was one of a kind. No one compares to you. From the first day we met, I knew you were different. You were ambitious, funny, caring, and a true friend. You stood your ground. Words cannot express how much I care for you; through the good times and the bad. You put a smile on my face. When I sit here and think of the times we spent together, I think of how valuable those memories are to me. I can't bring myself to believe that you are really gone. I want one more chance to tell you how much I love you and how much you taught me about life. God Bless the family and friends of Andre. I send my love to each and every one of you. Dearest Brenda, I comfort you during these hard times. He told me that you were the best mother he could ever have. We love you Dre. You will have a place in my heart forever.
"Don't think I do not feel, because you see no tears. A river rages deep inside, of grief loss, and fears. Just because I do not cry now, don't think my heart's not broken. I keep inside the misery, of words not to be spoken. Sometimes I smile, or crack a joke, so you won't see the pain, or notice how my hands will shake, or how I've gone insane. Each time I get the chance to think of losing you, my heart is ripped apart, but I will always keep the memories I have of you, deep,deep inside my heart." I Love You Always, Farron
Rest In Peace Dre.

Andre, I can't belive that I am going to your funeral today. In my mind I try to convince myself that you are still here on earth but you just moved to another state and that is why I won't see you as often. But I have to accept the fact that you are gone. It's the little things that remind me of you. I remember how you used to come over our house after school to eat up all of our food, after awhile my mom started buying extras when she knew you were coming over. I also remember us talking on the phone for hours about stupid stuff and how you used to tell me that I should become a psychologist because I would listen to your problems for hours and never criticized or judged you. The last time I saw you I didn't have a chance to tell you that I took your advice and I will be graduating in May with my degree in Psychology. Andre, I am glad that I was able to enjoy your friendship for the last ten years and I hope that you can finally rest in peace.
Your friend forever,
Tasha

Dearest Brenda & Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved son. I am glad that I had the opportunity to have met him. The day I met him, I know that he was special and dear to you as the two of you were bonding and sharing. In those brief moments, I could really see that he had a special bond with children and knew that he must have been a wonderful Father, Son, Brother and Friend.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and he will give you the strength that you need to deal with your loss.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dre,
You were my big brother and words cannot truly express the pain I feel from losing you. You were always there for me when I needed you. You did not truly know the effect you had on your friends in this world. You will always be a part of me. I will miss you
Love you always

Well Dre' I don't even know where to begin. I can not believe that I am saying goodbye to you. You have always been my little brother. I still remember back in high school when you would hang out up here trippin; and eat all our food.
Those days will never be forgotten and neither will you. I know you are in a better place, and I can not question why you were called home so early in life. I guess God had other plans for you. I will always remember you. Rest in Peace little brother!! I love you!!!
Your sister,
Nikki
To the family:
May God comfort you in your time of sorrow.

Dear Dre',
Up until last month it had been a while since I'd seen or heard from you but you were never forgotten.
I'm just glad to know I was able to tell you that I love you like the brother you were and now I just want to tell you I will miss you dearly!

I really cant believe that I'm saying my final goodbye. All I keep thinking about is how you used to pick me up in the morning and even when I wanted to skip school you would push me to go. I keep thinking about how I used to fuss at you because you didnt come to biology class. I cant believe that this is real. The last time I saw you, you were mad about something but managed to smile long enough to let me know that you were going to be OK when I left. All my love to your mom and your daughter and especially to you. I love you.

Dre, We have been friends since Elementary School and we continued to follow each other footsteps throughout Middle and High School. We even lived in the same neighborhood. I'll never forget the last thing that you said to me, that will always be in my heart. I'm going to miss you even though you will be looking down on us. It's sad to see that you are gone but you are in a better place know. I'm going to miss you Dre.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family & friends of Dre'. Words can't express how much you will be truly missed. No one will ever live up to compare to you, you were a solider that will never be forgotten. Everyone who knew you knew that you had plenty of heart dog! Fear was definetly not a factor for you. You always spoke your mind and stood your grounds, you were real, couragious and most of all feared no one; and that's what Cleo & I respected about you the most. Your memory will continue to live on forever.
R.I.P Dre'...a solider who fought til' the end!

Andre,
I was so upset and devastated to learn of your untimely death. Athough over the past few years we have been kind of distant, only speaking from time to time, I loved you like a brother. I will never forget how we used to hang out around the neighborhood and joke and play and just have a good time. You have been in my thoughts deeply this whole week and I will never forget you. You were more then just someone who I grew up with, but a true friend, and i always looked at you like a big brother. I will miss your sense of humor and how you always made me laugh. My mother and I want to send our deepest heartfelt sympathy out to your mother and family.
I love you Dre, RIP.
