Andre Reece Hafer came into this world on October 30th, 1992, in Denver, Colorado. Born to Sidney Hafer & Matthew Dale.

To know Andre was to witness audacity in motion. A man of many titles—Musician, Tattoo Artist, Cinematographer, Combat Athlete, Motorcyclist, and Father. Whether behind a mic, a camera, or in the ring, he gave every passion his all, never settling for mediocrity.

Andre had a presence that commanded attention—not because he asked for it, but because his energy was undeniable. He was the kind of person who could walk into any room and leave with a new friend, whether it was a celebrity, an underdog, or a hotel staff member he insisted take a shot with him. He believed in people—especially the quiet ones who didn't always believe in themselves. He reminded the world not to judge a book by its cover. "Respect," he would say, "everyone starts at the same level. You're either gonna dig a hole with me or gain more height." If he fucked with you, he fucked with you. And if he didn’t, you knew that too.

A Renaissance Man. Andre never just dabbled—he went all in. “ANYTHING I DO, I DO IT TO BE THE BEST AT IT,” he would say.

Athlete: A lifelong athlete, Andre excelled in football (#32), even making the Denver Broncos startup team before life’s twists and turns took him in a different direction. But he never let anything define him—he simply carved a new path, inspiring others to do the same.

Recording Artist: Music was his first love. Andre had an eclectic taste in music—his playlist spanned from hip hop, classical, country, to dancehall. He also learned to play the viola sitting first chair from middle school into high school. Ln opened for Migos, T.I., Lil Bibby, G Herbo, Trina, Riff Raff, and Rae Sremmurd, to name a few. NoNameLn went by Prafiseey until 2017, when he found himself in the middle of nowhere on a road trip and looked up to find “No Name Ln”, it resonated with how he lived his life, so he became NoNameLn. His music continues to resonate through streaming platforms, a lasting testament to his legacy. “King of the coast? Naw, king of the world—thought that since I was young, don’t nothin’ sound absurd.” - NoNameLn

Cinematographer: He was just as powerful behind the camera as he was in front of it. As owner of The Ln Exchange and an interviewer for Las Vegas Scoop, he had a way of pulling stories out of people, making them comfortable, making them real. As a self-taught cinematographer, he worked his way up to collaborate with giants like CBS.

Combat Artist: A professional MMA fighter, he was just days away from training for his comeback. His love for combat sports started early, fueled by watching wrestling with his stepdad, Anthony Carroll. After deciding he did not want to go to school and forfeiting his wrestling scholarship, he googled “Best mixed martial arts gym near me,” and the MMA Lab popped up. So in 2015, he packed up all his belongings, drove out to Glendale, Arizona, and showed up at the doorstep of The MMA Lab, living in his car for a week. This was his first time stepping into a fight gym. After training in Muay Thai for a month, he took his first amateur fight. The rest was history. Others took notice of his warrior spirit saying he had “The Sauce”, becoming known as “Andre-The Sauce-Hafer”. He continued with Mixed Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and kickboxing, going on to train with his fight coach and mentor Dewey Cooper. Earning several belts.

Tattoo Artist: At 15, he got his first tattoo with his mom’s consent. By his third, he decided he could learn to tattoo himself— and so he did. That decision sparked a fire, leading him to create permanent art on hundreds of people. His work lives on, carried by those who proudly wear his designs, each infused with his unique vision and energy. But his greatest masterpiece wasn’t on skin—it was in the lives he touched, especially as a father.

Fatherhood: Andre was a phenomenal father—devoted, protective, and endlessly proud. He embraced fatherhood with the same boldness he carried in every aspect of his life, passing down his spirit of fearlessness and individuality to each of his children.

Andre once said, "On the other side of YOUR FEAR is the life you want. Change that." And that’s exactly what he did—he lived fearlessly, loved deeply, and left behind a story worth telling.

Andre lived like a king, moved like a legend, and left a mark that won’t fade. If you knew him, you knew—there was nobody like him, and there never will be again.

Andre leaves behind his Mother, Sidney Hafer (Gus Turner, Step Father); sister, Desiree Jamila (Cire Harris, Partner); brothers: Michael Adam & Jordan Dale; chosen brother, James Meek, Frank Sterling (Uncle), Marcie Williams (Aunt), Jolene & Christie (Cousins).
