He could often be found listening a great jazz artist throughout the house and his car. He will forever be remembered as a man who loved to learn new information and teach others what he had learned. He was a devoted family man who would always provide for those he loved and would give the shirt off his back to those in need. Demetrice was a loving man however, he gave his life to the Lord and loved and served him with all his mind, soul, and strength all the way to his final breath.
