Andre left this world surrounded by his loving family after a sudden, short battle with a very aggressive brain tumour.
Andre was a larger-than-life personality who enjoyed much success as an entrepreneur over his lifetime. However, he preferred to be remembered as a kind man with a big heart rather than for his achievements. He asked that we thank his friends for their friendship. Andre was selfless and brave until the very end.
The family is forgoing a traditional funeral for a private celebration of life.
