Andre Randolph Hopkins was born on November 8, 1975, in McKeesport, PA. He was the eldest of four sons born to the late Juanita C. Hopkins Edmond. He was called home on Friday, May 3, 2019, at UPMC East Hospital in Monroeville, PA.
Andre was born a special needs child and the doctors said he would not live beyond three years. But God saw differently; we were blessed to have him in our lives for 43 years.
Andre had a love for all people. He attended church and was especially fond of praise & worship. He loved going to his day program where he enjoyed working with his hands; but not so much in the last six months.
Andre was an organ donor and at least five recipients will be blessed because of his unselfish Act of Love.
