When I think of my son DeAndre, I remember when DeAndre was 5 and LaToya was 3. Latoya had a doll stroller and DeAndre squeezed in to it. Latoya was trying to cover the stroller with DeAndre in it with a blanket. Deandre didn’t like that so he kept snatching it down. Latoya and DeAndre started arguing and LaToya yelled at DeAndre saying “ I don’t  to see your stinky face”. It was funny, we all laughed.
I made the mistake and took DeAndre to the movies with me to watch the Titanic. He complained through the whole movie. The only at part he like was when the boat was going down and people was falling to their death hitting the boat propellers on there way down. He thought that was funny.
What I am proud of and what I admire most about DeAndre is that he wasn’t a follower. He used his brain and thought for himself. He was strong minded and not easy to persuade. Even though DeAndre was sick he still had dreams. He wanted his own business. He wanted to uplift his family. And from his hospital bed he was studying business laws, tax laws and finances. I LOVE YOU SON.

My memories of my cousin De’Andre is us having good times. Us being tiny tots standing in the window flashing our naked bodies to the world to see. I remember building our own world with via (with) the endless amount of legos aunt Gina provided. I remember swimming  being gang deep during the summer with the cousins. I will always cheer cherish the good times we had with each other during childhood. De’Andre had everyone on a skateboard  teaching us tricks.

I remember when I was 8 years old and I was riding in DeAndre’s green ford bronco truck. I was setting in the front passenger seat and for some reason I opened the door and started falling out. DeAndre slammed on the brakes and snatched me and pulled me back into the car. I thought it was funny but he didn’t.

I have so many memories of DeAndre. When I was 10 or 11 we went to the swimming pool and I was acting crazy, I was all over the place. I was not paying attention and I got to far out and started to drown. DeAndre saved me.

Deandre had a good heart. He wanted to travel. He was stubborn and he felt unworthy of Gods love. He felt that God had more important things to do instead of worry about him. I would pray with him. He was loved.

I remember when I was younger DeAndre used to walk me to school and pick me up every day. After school DeAndre would take me to get snacks. I remember cutting DeAndre’s hair.

I remember the time when me and DeAndre almost got kidnapped. We was running and he tripped and fell. He was yelling for me and I turned back around and ran back to get him and the joy and fear was on his face I will never forget. He was so scared he didn’t know what to do. I told him that as long as I live I’ll alway take care of him. We ran to a person house then the man that was after us drove off. It was a wild thing to experience, we made it and we’ve always been close since babies. Lol

We will never forget little cousin coming to the studio. He’d tell Slim, “you ain’t got no bars.” Now me, I got bars. Slim gets the mic and tries to get DeAndre on the mic. DeAndre says,”Now you putting me on the spot.” he would then crack up laughing. He lived to talk BS and laugh. That’s one thing we loved about our little cousin! When ever we saw one another, as soon as we made eye contact we’d both start grinning. Slim

Deandre has been my best friend for the past 16+ years and that I cherished our friendship we had. Deandre was the one I was able to vent to about anything at any time of day and night. His soul and spirit does reside within me and I will always carry him with me.

Deandre was a superhero who could do many things. He loved to be around his family and friends. He treated everyone equally with love and compassion. Deandre would never settle for less, he always had a goal or plain to be finish. We both love skateboarding and games. I remember those family game night, we would play wrestling video games all day and night. It brought us all together. Those are times and moments in life we will never forget. I am very thankful for every moment of life that I spent with DeAndre

I remember DeAndre when he was 2 years old. He’s always been very bright, and conscientious. I remember vividly was when he came to my parents house and we were low on food. Deandre was hungry and all we had was peanut butter. He wanted a sandwich but we had no bread. So he asked for some crackers, but we had no crackers. He ten asked for some tortillas, we had none. But the one last effort was the funniest request. Deandre asked if we had some celery to go with the peanut butter. We laughed for years over what he had said. He was intelligent and resourceful. He was like a son to me. I love my Bud and I will miss him dearly

I knew DeAndre as a little boy, he was very sensitive any least thing could hurt his filling. He always got along well with others kids.

Deandre was well mannered and polite young man. He was very giving and would do anything for others. He was loved by everyone around him. He will truly be missed

My memory of De is he was at great carpenter, the things he made was awesome. De’s facial appearance never changed, he still look the same as he did when he was a little boy. He was head strong and he talked a lot of BS. He got into a little mischief with his cousin.

I remember Dre always came to pick me up from elementary school. We always played video  games together. Deandre took me paint balling. Dre also got me into skateboarding. When I was younger we always hangout together.

I remember DeAndre teaching me how to skateboard. Tricks like the Ollie  and kickflip. Taking us with them to the skatepark.
