Renville grew up with several nicknames; he was well- known as Andre, Rennie and Bell Andre has always shown ambition, hard work and dedication. He started off working and learning alongside his late grandfather, Deacon LV Walker, at a young age. Whether they were washing trucks or tending to his grandfather’s cattle, Andre took pride in listening to his grandfather’s wise words and supporting him with pure joy. Andre graduated from Paseo High School in 1983 and that same year Andre and long-term girlfriend, Lisa Paul, were blessed with a baby boy, Andre DaMar Bell. In 1990 he met Kathryn Brown and gained a child, Andre Jerome Brown. Andre and Kathryn were blessed with a baby girl, Myesha LaShay Bell, in 1993.
