Jeremy Damarol Anderson, a 28-year-old African American man, died on July 30, 2014. Publicly available information about the circumstances of his death is limited; the obituary materials that describe his life do not give a cause of death or a detailed account of what happened that day, focusing instead on who he was and what he meant to the people around him.
He was born on June 6, 1986, in Gulfport, Mississippi, and is identified as the son of Daniel Lee Moore and Gershalia L. Dixon.
Those who wrote about him remembered a young man drawn early to church and community, taking part in youth activities and serving in roles like choir and usher board. He was described as gifted in school and placed in a gifted program at an early age, a detail offered as proof that his curiosity and ability showed up long before adulthood.
After graduating from Harrison Central High School with the class of 2004, he enlisted in the United States Air Force and served for four years, working as a Power Pro Technician. Accounts of his work and travels paint a life spent moving between places and responsibilities, including assignments and contract work overseas. He was remembered as widely traveled, with references to time in places such as Dubai, France, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and as someone whose interests ranged from music and graphic design to photography, videography, sports, comedy, and the simple pleasure of chasing a favorite meal in a city he happened to be passing through.
The obituary describes him as devoted to family, especially his son, and as someone inclined to give—of his time, his energy, and even his own resources—to help others. Services for him were held on August 8, 2014, in Gulfport, Mississippi, where visitation and a service took place at a church location there, followed by committal arrangements in Biloxi, Mississippi.
In reviewing online public sources about his death, no confirmed public reporting was found describing any arrests, named suspects, or formal charges connected to the events that led to his death. If any criminal investigation existed, those details are not reflected in the publicly available material consulted, leaving the story of how he died largely unwritten in the record that remains accessible today.
