Andres Allen Life Story

Andre's Christofer Allen (1993–2024)

Andre' Christofer Allen, beloved son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. Born to Kristin Johnson and Andres Allen on September 13, 1993, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Andre' passed away on April 30, 2024, at his home in Novi, MI. His remarkable journey touched the lives of many, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of his family and friends.

 At the age of 12, the family relocated to Manistee, Michigan where his academic and athletic prowess set records, inspiring and challenging others. He was a beacon of determination and sportsmanship, encouraging his seven siblings—especially the five he held closest, (Andreya, Trentin, Tai, Trac, and Kierah) to strive for the best.

After graduating from Grand Valley State University in 2016 with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Allied Health Sciences, Andre embarked on a path that would impact countless lives.

His career took flight at Two Men and a Truck, where he worked diligently after graduation. His commitment and unwavering work ethic earned him respect among colleagues and clients alike. But it was his move to Ypsilanti, MI, that truly helped define his legacy.

Joining Sniffer Robotics, Inc as their first employee, Andre played a pivotal role in shaping the company’s success. His dedication and leadership were unparalleled. From day one, he demonstrated exceptional skills, quickly rising to the position of Operations Manager. His ability to connect, motivate, and guide others was a testament to his character.

Beyond the office, Andre’s love for family and friends never waned. He enjoyed gaming, using it as a bridge to stay connected with those closest to him. He also had a passion for music, an appreciation for the arts, and continued to set personal bests. Andre’s infectious smile, grounded personality, and sense of humor endeared him to everyone he met. Above all, he cherished his family, urging us all to do our best in everything.

Let us celebrate Andre’s life—a life that burned brightly and left an indelible legacy. May his memory inspire us to live fully, love fiercely, and embrace every moment. In his words: "We all can do better."
