Andre Jones

Andre E. Jones was a 34-year-old resident of Lackawanna, New York. Public records and local reporting identify him by name and describe him as a member of the Lackawanna community whose life was lived here in the Buffalo suburbs.

Although no family-published obituary was found in public funeral-home or obituary archives that matches the name and the exact date of death supplied, local news reporting records key facts about his final hours: Andre was sitting in his parked pickup on Olcott Street near Wilmuth Avenue in the early morning when he was struck by gunfire. He was taken to Mercy Hospital and later died. Those facts show that a life lived in a neighborhood and among neighbors was cut far too short.

Public coverage of Andre’s death emphasizes the human cost for family members, friends and the community left behind. Beyond the details available in news reports, the public record contains limited information about Andre’s personal history, work, or relationships. Out of respect for his privacy and for those who mourn him, this remembrance does not speculate about his interests or accomplishments. It simply recognizes that Andre E. Jones was a person connected to a place and to people in Lackawanna, and that his loss was felt by those who knew him.

If family members or close friends wish to provide memories, photos, funeral information, or corrections for a fuller, family-authorized memorial, those first-person remembrances would help paint a more complete portrait of Andre’s life. Until such details are available from authoritative family or funeral notices, this page honors him by stating the confirmed facts with care and by acknowledging the absence of a published obituary matching the supplied death date.

May this brief remembrance underscore that Andre’s life mattered in his neighborhood and to those who loved him, and may any future, family-authorized memorials preserve the fuller story of who he was beyond what appears in public records.
