Andre' graduated from Wilbur Cross high school in 2001. Andre' had three beautiful children Shamar, Andre' Preston (Charlene), and Arieana Preston (Tasha). Andre was loved and adored by everyone, also known as Big, Big Papa, and Biggy. When he turned around with that big Kool-Aid smile showing them white teeth, you know he was up to something. He worked for Barbell Branford Hill, Anastasia, and public works. He enjoyed family gets together's cookouts, party, spade games, and no, he loved to spank the cards down on the table when he won the games. Andre was a dedicated father to his children; they did not want for anything. He was there when they were born, the first day of school, dance recitals, football, and basketball games. Andre kept the kids dressed to a tee, like him in the white tees, and he loves his grandma took her to the church in style. He loved his white dodge charger so much especially after sharing a moment with his father when he picked it up. Andre was devoted to his family, host of nieces, nephews, cousins, uncles, and aunts. He loved his Church St. South family, and all have a special place in his heart for all his brothers and sisters all the same Marcus, Kiara, Regina, LaKeisha, Keith, Marquis, Samuel, Kevin, and Paige. Andre loved them all! He loved going to faith Baptist Church to see Ariana, sing in the choir, and attend Grace Chapel to see little Dre play the drums.
