Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

It is with deep sorrow and heartbreak that I share the passing of my beloved son, Andre, who left us unexpectedly on Saturday. No words can truly express the pain our family is feeling right now. Andre was more than just a son—he was a bright light, a protector, a big brother, and a soul full of love and laughter.

He touched the lives of everyone around him with his kindness, his smile, and his determination to make life better despite the challenges he faced. Though he was young, his heart was full, and he left an imprint on this world that can never be erased.

I am creating this GoFundMe to help cover the funeral and burial costs, and to give Andre the homegoing he truly deserves. Any donation, no matter how small, will help relieve the financial burden during this time of unimaginable grief.

If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this page and keeping our family in your prayers.

Thank you for your love, your support, and for helping us honor Andre’s life.

With love and gratitude,

Dervena Lespinasse
