Andre Stephan Paupaw was born December 6, 1999 in the Bronx, New York to Minerva Canales and Kevin Andre Paupaw. He grew up in Norfolk, Virginia all his life. Andre graduated from Norview High School in 2020 where he played the saxophone and was a member of the ROTC. Growing up he always wanted to be a game designer. Andre was the greatest gift and blessing to his parents. Being the only child Andre was instantly everyone's cousin, brother, nephew, son and friend. He was also an avid gamer and had many friends online. Words cannot express the impact he has had on all our lives. His unselfishness and sincere care for all things and people made Andre a humble and gentle person, just like his father. Andre leaves behind to cherish his memory; his loving and devoted mother, Minerva Canales, stepdad, Carlos Jones, maternal grandmother, Evelyn Velazquez, aunts, Marisol Velazquez and Kimberly Paupaw-Evans (Reggie), godson, Victor Canales, godfather, Edwin Velazquez, his best friend, Kealijah Furman as well as a host of special aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He is predeceased by his father, Kevin Andre Paupaw, maternal great-grandparents, Maria Minerva Torres and Victor Velazquez and his paternal grandparents, Kenneth and Carolyn Paupaw. So today we are not saying 'goodbye' but that we will see each other again. We will always love you Dre aka "Great Bear" aka "Butter Beans".
