Following Son’s Death in Car Accident, Mother Assures She Will Raise Her Grandchildren, Says, “You Can Rest in Peace Knowing That I Will Take Care of Them”

On December 28, 2025, Shelly’s son, Andre, was involved in a tragic car accident, making the New Year season quite tragic for her family.

Following the accident, he was rushed to the hospital, where a trauma team worked on him before transferring him to another hospital.

Later, after observation, it was disclosed that he had severe brain injuries.

Following the tragic incident, Shelly was often seen asking for prayers for her son. In the Facebook post, she shared updates daily using #FightForAndre, offering updates and requesting prayers from others.

After a week of treatment, Andre was kept on life support on January 6, 2026. The next day, his mother announced the passing of her son.

Andre died on January 7, 2026, following the severe injuries he had been fighting for weeks.

He now leaves behind his loving children under the care of his grandmother, Shelly, who says she will take care of them.

Shelly also assured that she will never let her grandchildren miss football games, dance practices, and other activities.

Following Andre’s passing, not only his mother and family, but also the entire Missouri community is mourning the loss.

One of his dear friends on Facebook shared a heartfelt post, saying:

Surgeon Dre I will always appreciate the ❤️ you shared bro. I can’t say it enough I’m going to miss you. Found these videos of you helping me build out the new gym. You showed up daily to assist, didn’t ask me for anything but just to lend a hand. I’ve watched you grow since I first met you and when I say a certified stand up guy!!! That you were 💪🏽 Praying for your mom Shelly Jordan 🙌🏽 peace and strength at this time. I pray he comforts your spirit at this time, to give her understanding during this hard time. 32 years too young….. this hurts bro

Now that Andre has left the world at the age of 32, he is survived by his children, his parents, Shelly Jordan and Alfred Jordan, and his fiancée.

While Andre’s family processes this tragic loss, we would like to express our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and everyone who knew him.

Rest in Peace, Beautiful Soul!
