Daemon Vauchon Person

Daemon Vauchon Person was a young life remembered for the brightness and energy he brought to those around him. A 15-year-old sophomore at Booker T. Washington High School in Norfolk, Daemon took part in his school's ROTC program and was known among classmates for a ready smile and an outgoing, caring nature. While still early in his years, he was described by those who knew him as someone who reached out to lift others and who carried a hopeful spirit about his future.

Daemon’s home was on Corprew Avenue in Norfolk, across from Norfolk State University, a location noted by community members who gathered after his passing. In the days following March 19, 2018, classmates, neighbors, and loved ones came together to honor his memory — lighting candles, releasing balloons, and holding a memorial march from his high school to his home. Those tributes reflected the depth of feeling in a community mourning a young person taken too soon.

Public records and community sources show that Daemon mattered to many: classmates remembered his laughter and kindness, family members posted messages of love, and friends kept his memory alive with ongoing remembrances on anniversaries and birthdays. Though public details about his life are limited to these verified facts, they point to a real teenager with relationships, routines, school ties, and a presence that affected others.

Daemon’s death prompted a police homicide investigation and later arrests; while those facts are part of the public record, the focus here is on the human being they concern. He was a son, a student, a cadet, and a friend. This page honors the person Daemon was — young, full of possibility, and dearly loved — and acknowledges the sorrow of those who continue to remember him.

If you knew Daemon and would like to add a memory or photograph to this memorial, please do so in a way that supports the family’s wishes and preserves the dignity of his memory.
