Obituary: Andre Leon Debose, 38

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Andre Leon Debose, a loving and devoted father of five, who tragically lost his life in a heroic effort to save his son on Saturday, August 10th, 2024, at Willard Bay State Park, Utah.

Born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Andre was a single father to two daughters and three sons, aged 1, 3, 13, 16, and 17 years old. Andre’s life was defined by his deep love for his children and his unwavering commitment to their well-being. He moved to Layton, Utah, where he worked as a skilled plumber, providing for his family with hard work and dedication.

On that fateful day, Andre and his 17-year-old son were enjoying a day of boating when a sudden storm turned the calm waters dangerous. After noticing his son’s friend struggling in the rough conditions, Andre’s son rushed to her aid. While she was able to return safely to the boat, his son soon found himself in distress. Without hesitation, Andre leaped into the water to save his child. Tragically, despite their efforts and sharing a single life jacket, Andre was unable to make it back to safety, disappearing beneath the waves in an act of ultimate sacrifice.

Andre’s selflessness, courage, and love for his children will never become forgotten. His legacy of fatherly devotion will live on in the hearts of his five children. Moreover, who now face an unimaginable future without their beloved dad.
