A young Caucasian boy named Roman "Rome" Dean Mast-Andrews, aged 4, tragically lost his life on November 28, 2022, in Kansas City, Kansas. His death was the result of what news sources described as an accidental shooting.
Born in Overland Park, Kansas, Roman was known for his infectious smile and was always full of jokes and wisdom beyond his years. In his four short years, he made a significant impact on everyone he met.
He had a love for his pets, a leopard gecko he named Marshmallow and a hermit crab. He found joy in simple childhood games like hide-and-seek and wrestling on the trampoline.
He is survived by his loving mother, a brother named Jayce, and his two dads. His family remembers him as a treasure who did not deserve his tragic and unforeseen death. A memorial service was held for Roman on Saturday, January 7, 2023, at Chapel Hill-Butler Funeral Home in Kansas City, Kansas. The circumstances of the accidental shooting did not lead to any publicly reported arrests or suspects.
