Andre Lavelle Carlton

Andre Lavelle Carlton, affectionately known as Gumbi/Gumbal, an entrepreneur, unexpectedly transitioned from earth to his heavenly home on Saturday, October 19, 2024. He was the proud owner of Power Washing General LLC.  

Andre was born February 20, 1983, in Lorain, Ohio to Andre Thomas and Sandra (Carlton) Owens. 

He was loved around Lorain, whether it was his humor, his protective nature, his intellectual conversation, his no-nonsense demeanor, his unmatched loyalty or his unbeatable charm. Whatever side you encountered was genuine. Andre was humble and always had a smile. He was always the person to show respect unless it was not given to him. He was a leader with “tunnel vision”. 

Andre loved his children and adored being around his grandchildren. 

May the memories and stories we pass along keep his legacy alive! 

Andre leaves to cherish his memory, his mother, Sandra (Joseph) Owens, of Columbus, Ohio; his father, Andre Thomas of Columbus, Ohio; his three children, Krystile Carlton, of Atlanta Georgia, Ny’Ashia Carlton, of Kent OH, and Andre Carlton, of Cleveland, Ohio; his two grandchildren, Cali McKenzie and Davion McKenzie; two sisters, LaKeisha and Shekeria Thomas, of Columbus, Ohio; one brother, Antwaun Carlton, of Lorain, Ohio; his nieces and nephew, and a host of relatives and friends. 

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Juanita and Silas Shields, paternal grandparents, James and Florida Mae Thomas, his aunt, Gwendolyn Thomas, and uncle, Thomas “Fuzzy” Carlton.
