Demetrious Levar Graham was born on January 12, 1978, to Joseph Graham and Carolyn Graham of Camden, Arkansas. He joined Shady Grove Baptist Church at an early age, under the leadership of Rev. J. N. Bass. He later rededicated his life to Christ while living in Woodbridge, Virginia.

Demetrious graduated from Harmony Grove High School in 1996. He proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps shortly after graduation. As a veteran, he went back to school and received his certification in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and in Stock Market Trading.

He was a man of many talents and a heart of gold. Through the years, he enjoyed spending time with family, friends, fishing, and cooking, but his greatest passion was "one-upping" his big sister at barbecuing. He was a stranger to no one and found great purpose in helping those less fortunate and providing them a place to stay. Everyone he met were touched by his incomparable kindheartedness and larger than life personality.

He is preceded in death by his father, Joseph L. Graham.

He is survived by his son: Khaleel Graham of Woodbridge, Virginia; mother: Carolyn Graham of Camden, Arkansas; sisters: Marty (Richard) Hopson, Shelia Graham, Alicia Graham - all of Camden, Arkansas, and Felicia Graham of San Antonio, Texas; and Grandmother Marie Graham of Little Rock, Arkansas; as well as his adored aunt and uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and abundance of friends.
