Andre grew up alongside his only sibling, his younger sister, Onyee Carter. Those two were inseparable and were always getting into mischief. Andre‘s mother, Denise Randolph became very ill in the early stages of his life. Shortly after, Andre and his sister were raised by his maternal grandparents, Al Randolph and the late Eleanor Jean Johnson. Andre attended South County technical high school where he graduated with a certificate in machine and received his diploma from Roosevelt High School in St Louis, Missouri. Andre Mitchell moved to Lincoln, Nebraska at the age of 26. Little did he know that he soon would meet the love of his life, Lacy Mitchell. As their family grew, they moved to Kearney, Nebraska to start their lives together marrying on Oct 7, 2017. They raised 6 beautiful children together. Having a family of his own was one thing he had prayed for for everything else would follow. Dre was the beloved husband of Lacy R.

He enjoyed X-Box, basketball, football, tumbling for the kids, The Simpsons, Rick and Morty, Martin, Dave Chapel to name a few. He had a remarkable ability to quote movies and "one-liner's". Dre will be forever missed for the love and joy he shared in his short time with us. Dre was preceded in death by his mother Denise Randolph and his grandmother Eleanor Johnson.
