In Loving Memory of Demarcus Variste
With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we remember Demarcus Variste, 27, whose life was tragically taken in a fatal shooting early Saturday morning.
Emergency officials responded to reports of gunfire at Lil Blue House club off Plank Road around 6 a.m. Despite their swift arrival, Demarcus was pronounced deceased at the scene after suffering gunshot wounds. According to preliminary reports, the shooting followed a fight, and the suspect fled the area shortly afterward. Authorities continue to investigate, and the individual responsible remains unknown at this time.
This heartbreaking loss has left family, friends, and the community in deep mourning. At just 27 years old, Demarcus had so much life ahead of him — dreams yet to be fulfilled, goals still in motion, and countless moments still to be shared with those who loved him. His passing is a painful reminder of how quickly life can change in an instant.
Demarcus will be remembered for the person he was beyond this tragic event. He was someone’s son, someone’s brother, someone’s friend — a young man whose presence carried meaning and whose absence now leaves an irreplaceable void. Those who knew him will hold tightly to the memories of his smile, his laughter, and the moments that made him uniquely who he was.
In times like these, words often fall short. The pain of losing a loved one so suddenly and violently is unimaginable. We extend our deepest condolences to Demarcus’ family and loved ones as they navigate this incredibly difficult time. May they find comfort in the love that surrounds them and strength in the memories they will forever cherish.
