Popular TikTok Creator Preston ‘Okay Baby’ Ordone Dead After Car Accident in Louisiana
Ordone was two years old.

Preston Ordone, known to TikTok as “Okay Baby,” is dead following a car accident.
According to Louisiana State Police, the two-year-old was traveling with his parents, Katelynn and Jaelan Ordone, on April 24 when the car crashed, killing him. According to police officials the parents were also seriously injured. Officials say that their car veered off the road and hit a tree.
“The driver and front passenger, who were both properly restrained, sustained serious injuries and were transported to a local hospital,” officials said in a statement. “Preston, who was seated in the rear, but improperly restrained in a child safety seat, also sustained serious injuries and was transported to the hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.”
Police say they also collected toxicology samples from the driver for analysis.
Friends and family of the Ordones posted a video on Katelynn’s TikTok on Sunday, sharing some of the latest information they had including the fact that their daughter, Paisley, was at school of the time of the accident.
“Katelynn has multiple broken bones. She had a very bad concussion,“ family friend Brielle said. ”She walked for the first time today. Jaelan had to have emergency surgery on one of his legs; he has rods in them, pins in them. They’re both at different hospitals.”

“He made people smile and laugh,“ another family friend said about Preston in the video. “I know you guys look forward to seeing him every day, and I know in heaven right now, if there’s mud in heaven, he’s probably has found it and is jumping and dancing in it. Running up and down the streets of gold in his overalls. He probably has golden overalls.”
The family became known on TikTok as Katelynn posted sweet videos of Preston responding cutely to instructions from his mother. For example, if she told him to not do jump in the pool, he would say “OK” and do it anyway.
Officials are investigating the cause of the accident.
