On April 14, 2021, Anfernee Daivion Colquitt, a 25-year-old male from Springfield, Missouri, was listed as last seen in Springfield, leaving behind a case marked by limited public detail and uncertainty. The available online record outside missing-person database summaries is sparse, but later public records identify him by the same full name as a Black male in Greene County, Missouri, with black hair and brown eyes, standing about 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 132 pounds in February 2024.
That later record matters because it indicates that the disappearance information available from the earlier missing-person listing did not remain the final known trace of his life.
In the years after the reported last-seen date, Anfernee’s name appears again in public records connected to Greene County and Springfield. A February 14, 2024 public booking entry lists Anfernee Daivion Colquitt in Greene County, Missouri, at age 28, with gender recorded as male. The record states that it reflects an arrest record only and does not imply guilt or a conviction. In the context of a missing-person narrative, the significance of that later public appearance is not the allegation attached to it, but the fact that it shows someone publicly identified as Anfernee Daivion Colquitt was documented alive nearly three years after the April 2021 last-seen date.
The story later turned from uncertainty to grief. Funeral home and obituary records identify Anfernee “Pope Holmes” Daivion Colquitt, also referred to as Anfernee “Tony” Daivion Colquitt, as a Springfield resident who was born on October 2, 1995, in Chicago, Illinois, to Yolanda Holmes Sharpensteen and Charles Colquitt III. Those records state that he died on October 8, 2025, at age 30. His obituary remembers him not as a case number, but as a person with a bright smile, a loving nature, courage, wisdom, and a heart for others even while carrying his own sadness. It also names his mother, Yolanda Holmes Sharpensteen, and his five children, Julien, Brylinn Grace, Aurorah, Atticus, and Theseus, as loved ones left to mourn him.
A memorial fundraiser created after his death described Anfernee, known to many as Pope Holmes, as someone full of love, laughter, loyalty, humor, and presence, and said his unexpected passing left family and friends devastated. The fundraiser was organized to help his mother with funeral and burial expenses, reflecting the emotional and financial weight carried by the family after his death. Taken together, the public record shows a case that began with Anfernee Daivion Colquitt, a 25-year-old male, listed as last seen in Springfield, Missouri, on April 14, 2021; later records indicate he was documented alive in Greene County in 2024; and obituary and memorial records show that he died on October 8, 2025. The missing-person matter is therefore no longer best understood as an active disappearance, but as a difficult and painful chapter in the life of a young Springfield man whose family and friends ultimately had to grieve his loss.Last Seen: Apr 14, 2021
