Dashon Hawkins

Dashon Hawkins loved his family and his community. A 32-year-old resident of North Little Rock, he is remembered in public notices and by those who knew him as a devoted father and a man who had looked forward to building a life with the people close to him. Friends and memorial postings note his ties to the neighborhood around Arrowhead Place and to faith and community life in North Little Rock.

Public reporting and memorial pages say Dashon graduated from Central High School in 2012 and attended Damascus Spiritual Church in North Little Rock. In the months before his death he and his fiancée had been planning a wedding, and those who speak about him in public accounts describe the plans and hopes the couple had made together. These small but personal details help give shape to a life that mattered to family, friends, and neighbors.

While public sources document the circumstances of his death, those facts do not define the whole of who Dashon was. He leaves behind people who named him as a beloved father and partner, and online memorials invited friends and relatives to share photos and memories so that the record of his life would reflect more than a headline. The community remembrances emphasize Dashon’s relationships and the everyday ways he mattered to others.

Because available public records and news coverage are limited in personal detail, this remembrance uses verified information with care and restraint. Those who knew Dashon best—his family and friends—hold the fuller picture of his kindness, his routines, the stories that made him who he was, and the private moments that no public record can capture. He is mourned for his presence in the lives of those he loved, and remembered as a real person whose hopes and connections deserve dignity and respect.
