D'Marian Jherico Miller began his earthly journey on August 23, 2003, to the parentage of the Tareka Dickerson and Darryl Miller in Talladega, Alabama. At an early age, D'Marian accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior and united with Wesley Chapel AME Church where he was a member of the Master Angels Praise Team and under the leadership of Mr. Clint Johnson and Ms. Sheila Chappel, D'Marian was a participant in The Goliath Project. D'Marian attended Talladega High School and prior to his untimely demise, he was looking forward to completing his 12th grade year of schooling and becoming a member of the Talladega High School Class of 2022 Fighting Tigers. D'Marian loved sports and it was proven on the court with his Fighting Tigers Basketball Team. He was striving to become the best he could be and by furthering his education in welding and having a bright career ahead as a welder. He always wanted to work and being employed with Burger King just wasn't good enough and he said he knew he had to finish school and get his welding career underway. Although fate would prove to be a factor in D'marian's life, only God would hold his future in the palm of his hand. D'Marian, affectionately known as "DJ" - (Dee Shiesty) was well known for the love he had for his family, his kind manners and respect for others, and his energetic and humble spirit.
