A young man's life was cut short in Flint, Michigan, leaving a void in the lives of his family and friends. Dequian Gillam, a 20-year-old male, passed away on Saturday, April 9, 2016. Born on December 4, 1995, he was a resident of Flint and had attended local community schools.
Known for his love of watching movies, rapping, and listening to music, Dequian cherished spending time with his loved ones. His greatest joy, however, was said to be eating.
At the time of his passing, he was employed at a local factory and had aspirations of moving to Cleveland, Ohio, for a better job opportunity. His ambitions also included attending college to become a physical and massage therapist, a dream he would never get the chance to realize.
The circumstances surrounding Dequian's death at Hurley Medical Center remain unclear from available online sources. His family, in their time of grief, expressed special thanks to the Flint Township Police Department, suggesting an investigation into his untimely death. However, details regarding any potential suspects or arrests in connection with his passing have not been made publicly available.
Dequian was remembered as a beloved son, brother, and friend. He left behind his parents, three sisters, and two brothers, along with a large extended family and many friends who mourned his sudden departure. His funeral services were held the following Saturday at the Chapel of Lawrence E. Moon Funeral Home, where friends and pallbearers gathered to pay their final respects before he was laid to rest at Gracelawn Community Cemetery.
