Preston Ordone, the two-year-old TikTok star beloved for his endearing “OK” catchphrase, tragically passed away following a car accident on April 24, 2025. The family’s Ford F-150 veered off the road in rural Louisiana, crashing into a tree and resulting in Preston’s death. His parents, Katelynn and Jaelan Ordone, both sustained serious injuries and are recovering in separate hospitals.
The Louisiana State Police reported that Preston was improperly restrained in his car seat at the time of the accident. However, Preston’s grandfather, Glenn Norris, disputes this claim, stating that a witness confirmed the child was properly secured.
Family friend Melanie Matranga shared the heartbreaking news on TikTok, expressing the family’s grief and requesting prayers and support. Preston’s sister, Paisley, was not in the vehicle during the crash.
Preston gained widespread attention on TikTok for his playful defiance, often responding with a cheerful “OK” before doing the opposite of what his parents advised. His lighthearted videos brought joy to many, making his loss deeply felt among fans.
