On December 22, Tasheilia Chapple, who fans know better as “Pastor Tea,” posted a message to her Instagram informing followers that her son Deandre passed away.
“I’m out done and broken to the core. My first born child Deandre has passed away. My soul has been ripped from my body. Please keep us in prayer,” she wrote in the caption.
The photo showed Deandre seemingly celebrating his 31st birthday, while posing next to a tower cake and holding a memorial card of another relative.
Days later, Tea shared another two other photos with her son.
One was a selfie of the two, followed by a series of broken heart emojis. Another was a photo of him standing outside of a house.
The caption read, “The God of Issac, Abraham and Jacob , the Living God gives and HE TAKES, no man knows the HOUR, get your spiritual affairs in order.”
“Deandre, my first born, my most spiritual child—— I will NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN NOR HEAR HIS VOICE CALLING ME MOMMY – HES GONE AND ALL I CAN DO IS BLESS THE LORD THROUGH ALL MY TEARS AND BROKEN HEART,” the caption ended.
Many shared their love for the family in the comments.
“Beautiful lady I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you. Thinking of you and your family. Sending you all so much love ,” one user wrote.
Another said, “Tea! I am praying for you to gain strength, clarity, peace and love. I know this can’t be easy. Please hold on tight because God will see you through. I know the picture is cloudy now but please know that I am praying for you.”
Many did not know about Ashley Jones’ brother.
“Dang I thought Ashley was tea’s eldest. I thought she just had the 3 daughters. Very sad, and just before Xmas. Brutal news.” However, Ashley has yet to make a comment.
We are praying for their family.
