Damarius L. Odom

Damarius L. Odom was a young man whose life touched those around him. Identified by Henrico County police as a 25-year-old resident of Henrico, Damarius’s passing on December 9, 2023, left a hole in the lives of people who knew him. While public records about his private life are limited, the facts that are available confirm he was a person known within his community and whose death prompted concern and attention from neighbors and local authorities.

News and official notices describe a family member, friends, or neighbors as the most immediate people affected by his loss; their responses—calls for information and cooperation with investigators—reflect the real human ache that follows when someone dies unexpectedly. In the days after his death, local law enforcement and news outlets worked to share information with the community and to encourage anyone with knowledge to come forward.

Because there is no published funeral-home obituary or family-authorized memorial available in the public record that matches his name and the exact date of death, many personal details about Damarius’s life—such as schooling, employment, hobbies, and the names of family members—are not available through the reliable public sources consulted for this remembrance. That absence in the record does not diminish the fact that Damarius was a real person whose life mattered to others.

This page honors Damarius by acknowledging him with dignity and respect. He is remembered not as a headline but as an individual whose life mattered to those who knew him. If family or friends wish to provide a family-approved obituary, photograph, or personal remembrances to be included here, those additions would help paint a fuller picture of Damarius’s life, the ways he shared himself with others, and the legacy he leaves to those who loved him.
