Andre D. Adams

André DeWitt Adams was called home to rest in God’s Loving Arms on October 1st, 2023

André was born August 7th, 1974 in Rochester, New York to Andrew and Princess Adams. He gave his life to Christ at the young age of 12 at Mount Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church in Albany, New York. André graduated from Guilderland High School in Guilderland, New York. André was recognized as a Black Scholar by The Urban League of The Albany Area, N.Y. Inc. in 1992. He attended Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia on a Basketball Scholarship for two years. He obtained his Bachelors Degree of Science in Business from Excelsior College in Albany, New York in 2012. André was a Senior Corporate Engagement Account Manager at Colorado Technical University for two and a half years before his passing.

André loved his family immensely and his greatest joy was being a Father, Son, Brother, Uncle, Partner, and Friend. With a voice that can be heard from a mile away, guiding and advising his loved ones was one of the purest forms of happiness he could achieve. Always providing the most sound and logical advice he could possibly give. André resonated in his pursuit for perfection, and he demanded excellence in all things. He was a stranger to no one and the minute he met you, he made you feel like you’d known each other for an eternity.

André was an avid golfer, lifetime Michael Jordan and Dallas Cowboys fan and a Nike enthusiast. He was an unbeatable debater of any subject he was passionate about and a master aficionado of hip hop. If you know Dre, you know his music. Ultimately, André maximized every ounce of potential and opportunity that he encountered, and encouraged others to do the same by striving for more, believing in greater and always loving life to the fullest potential.

Preceding him in death: his paternal Grandparents Marion Roosevelt (Ruby Pearl Marzette) Adams  and his maternal Grandparent Mattie Hickman.

He is survived by: his Parents, Andrew (Princess) Adams, , his Daughter Alexis Adams (Fassel), Sister Nicole (Dwayne) Gordon, Brother Kevin (Yolanda) Minor, his Nephews Christopher and Louis Chatman, his girlfriend Brittni Shaver, Best Friend Michael Logan, and a host of Nieces and Nephews, Relatives, and Friends.
