Alvante Pitts

Alvante D. Pitts was born on February 4, 1994, and grew up in Dayton, Ohio. Public records and family notices identify him as a beloved son whose presence was part of a larger circle of family and friends in the community. Though Alvante was only 18 when his life ended on April 9, 2012, the records that remain emphasize that he was a real person with family connections who mattered to those around him.

Details preserved in public memorial notices show Alvante as a named family member in later remembrances, reflecting the ongoing place he holds in relatives’ memories. While no standalone, family-published obituary matching his name and the exact date of death could be located in the public obituary archives available online, Alvante’s name appears in family funeral notices, which confirm his identity and the sorrow felt by those close to him.

Because the public record about his everyday life is limited, it is important to honor what is known without speculation: Alvante was a young Black man from Dayton whose life was cut short in April 2012. The facts that are documented — his full name, his birth date of February 4, 1994, and his death on April 9, 2012 — are part of the official record and are borne of family and law-enforcement sources. These anchor his story and confirm that he was loved and remembered by relatives mentioned in later memorials.

Alvante’s life should be remembered for the relationships and family ties indicated in those notices. Though many personal details are not publicly recorded, what remains is a brief but real record of a life that mattered to others. May this remembrance respect his memory and acknowledge the grief of family and community who continue to remember him.
