Andre Laviolette was the kind of person who could light up a room with his laughter. His easy-going nature drew people in instantly, and his generous heart left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.

Andre was not only gentle and kind — he was also a gifted artist and a natural athlete, excelling in sports with seemingly effortless grace.

Now, our family is reaching out for support as we prepare to lay Andre to rest in a way that truly reflects who he was. We're raising funds to help cover the costs of a proper graveside ceremony and a headstone — a permanent tribute to the incredible life he lived and the joy he brought to so many.

The ceremony is planned for 11am October 18th, 2025 at Groveside Cemetary in Whitby. Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to giving Andre the memorial he deserves.

If you knew Andre, you know how much he gave — and how much he meant. And if you didn’t know him, we hope this gives you a glimpse into the loving soul we lost too soon.

Thank you for helping us honour him.
