My Condolences go out to the family during this painful time.
Demone was my best friend and will always continue to be. Demone was truly a GOOD FRIEND to me, especially when i was going through bad times, he would tell me not to worry that god is in control.
I remember the good times we shared together listening to beats and wanting to be rappers.

Mone you will always have a place in my heart, I will never forget you man

Sabrina & Family,
I'm deeply sorry for your loss and I pray that the Lord comforts you in your time of need. Demone was my favorite RA at Upward Bound and he taught me a lot, not just through his words but his actions also. He will always be missed and have a special place in my heart. The only thing that's bringing me a sense of comfort is the fact that I know Demone's spirit is in Heaven and at total peace, but even that doesn't stop the hurt. Although he was taken from us way too soon, he served a great purpose in the little time that he was here, and not many people can say the same of themselves at such a young age. Demone I love you and look forward to the day that I can see and talk to you again. R.I.P.

Sabrina & Family:

Though it has been months since Demone has gone home, there has not been a day that goes by that I don't think of him. He was an amazing person, influential to students and people all around him. I know he is in a better place, but I can't help but miss him and wish he was here. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family, and friends who miss him dearly, just like I do.

Thank you for so much, Demone.

September 14, 2008

You mean so much to your mom, dad, grandma, family and friends.

September 14, 2008

You left the world with a lifetime of memories-- we will cherish them all.

Demone was one of my very first students I taught at Bennett High School. I have very many fond memories of him and how wonderful he was as a student and a young man. My deepest sympathies go to Demone's family.

LEJLA

August 20, 2008

No words can possibly express the sorrow and sadness I feel for this most devostating loss. Demone was determined to be something in life. He was a true star, but most importantly he was like a son to me. When he left he took a part of my heart with him. Nothing will ever seem right without you. You are gone but never forgotten see you soon in the clouds above R.I.P Demone
I love you

I offer my deepest sympathy at the loss of your loving son. Demone was certainly a very aspiring young man full of life, love and promise. Now he is home in the arms of the lord, his love for you lives on forever and will never fade away... he will remain in the hearts of all of us every day.
May the lord will give you strength and peace.

Your friend always

August 18, 2008

Sabrina:
Words could never express how truly saddened we are over the news of Demone, He was loved and respected by so many, you did a great job in raising a fine young man. Nothing can really be said to ease the pain, but the God I serve has never and will never let us down. We may ask why? and never really get the right answer but rest assured that your prayers and the prayers of those who love you are heard by God on a daily basis, and he will in time give you peace that surpasses all understanding. God bless you and know that you are in everyone's prayers.

Anissa Sparks-Hawkins

August 17, 2008

Sabrina - Demone is in a much better place now. Seeing those pictures of our grandad & auntie confirmed it. He was taken away from us so suddenly - but he was in the presence of the Lord as soon as he took his final breath. Keep your head up & stay as you are & you will see Monee again. Love Always, your Cuz` Anissa, Mike, Dorian & Elijah!

Sabrina,

Your son was a very positive influence on my son as one of his counselors at Upward Bound. My son talked of the great time they had together the Friday before Demone was taken away. I only met him on a couple of occasions but I was very impressed by him. May God be with you and your entire family during this time.

I know we are all hurt, sad, and confused by Demone's untimely passing. Though may we all find comfort in knowing that he is in a better place. Demone had a great big smile and an even bigger heart. In his short time with us he touched many lives. May the memories he left us with remain in our hearts forever. I love you Mone.

Michael Griffith

August 16, 2008

It's hard to say good-bye to yesterday. Sabrina, I know that you are going to miss Demone, but remember he will never leave your heart, keep a smile; he could never be in better hands and with your smile...there's Demone! I love you Sabrina, I see you soon and I'll miss him.

To the family of Demone:
>> I was one of Demone's college instructors & want to send my condolences to all of you. He was an absolutely delightful young man & it broke my heart to learn of his untimely death. With his wonderful personality & intelligence, I expected he would have a successful life. No doubt he will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. As another person wrote, he had a smile that could brighten any room. He certainly brightened our classroom @ ECC.
>> Losing him is a huge loss to this world that we live in. God bless Demone & his loved ones. I hope that wonderful memories, good friends, & knowing that Demone is in a much better place will help ease your pain. You have my deepest sympathy.

Danesha Artis

August 15, 2008

First of all, I don't even know how to go about explaining how I feel about everything. But before everything, my condolences to everyone. Demone was, and still is one of my greatest friends, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better in my life. We took care of each other when we worked together, and no matter what, he was always there.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Sabrina,
I know I haven't spoken to you since I saw you at Crow's Xmas party back in 2001. I still have the picture we took that night. I've known you since we were little girls at Campus North(#63) and time has sure passed because I also remember when you told me you were pregnant with your son. It seems just like yesterday. When I read the article in the paper on line and I saw his name, I felt a drop in my heart. The first thing came to my mind was Sabrina, oh my friend. I know I can't be there because of the distance between us but I want you to know my heart goes out to you. I am thinking of you daily and you are in my prayers. I have a son and I just pray that this cruel world don't take him from me. Sabrina you be strong and remember God has him now so the worry is over. He can't be hurt up there. Keep your head high, you raised him, you did your job now he need to go work for the Lord. I love you girlie, and I know you're a strong person but if you need to talk, get things off your chest you can call on me any time day or night.

You're all in my thoughts & prayers. God Bless & keep you during this time.
