Damis Crawford

Damis Cherokee Raymel Crawford was born January 19, 1980, and grew up in Lorain, Ohio. By all public records available, Damis was known as a local man whose life was rooted in his neighborhood and family connections. Standing six feet tall with a presence remembered by those who knew him, he was 30 years old when he died on August 13, 2010.

Public sources about Damis emphasize his identity as a member of the Lorain community rather than detailing a public career or awards. Yearbook and community memorial listings associate him with local schools and classmates, reflecting the ordinary but important ties that mark a life: friendships, neighborhood networks, and the small daily ties that connect people to place.

Though the public record about Damis is limited, it is clear that he was a real person with family, friends, and history in Lorain. He is named in official cold-case and law-enforcement records that preserve basic biographical details and urge anyone with information to come forward—documents that, while factual, do not encompass the whole of who he was to the people close to him.

Those who knew Damis remember him as more than the headlines: a person with relationships, a presence in his community, and a life that mattered. Even when public details are few, that human worth remains. This remembrance honors Damis by keeping his name and dates in mind and by acknowledging the grief of those who survive him. May his memory be held kindly by family, friends, and the Lorain community who continue to wish for answers and for peace.
