David Golden

David Golden III was an 18-year-old young man from Baltimore whose life reflected the hopes and promise of someone on the cusp of adulthood. Public records identify him as a local youth of Southeast Baltimore; he was part of the city's vibrant, close-knit neighborhoods where family, friends, and community ties shape daily life. While detailed personal history such as schooling, work, or hobbies is not publicly recorded in an obituary accessible to this research, the available reporting and public databases make clear that David was a real person whose short life mattered to his family and community.

He died on June 28, 2016 in Baltimore. That loss was reported by local news outlets and later recorded in regional databases that track unsolved homicides; those sources list him as David Golden III, age 18, and note the location in Southeast Baltimore. Though the public record accessible to this research does not include a family-published obituary or a longer memorial notice, the fact of his passing was acknowledged by local reporters and by organizations compiling remembrance lists for those lost to violence.

Because formal biographical detail from family-authorized obituaries was not located, this remembrance concentrates on acknowledging David as a young person with family and connections in Baltimore — someone whose life held relationships and unfulfilled potential. It honors him by recognizing that he was more than a line in a report: he was an 18-year-old with a name, a place in his neighborhood, and people who grieved his loss.

If friends or family wish to provide further personal memories, photographs, or details about David’s life, education, passions, and the people who loved him, those contributions would help transform this brief public record into a fuller, more personal memorial. For now, this page stands as a respectful acknowledgment that David Golden III lived, mattered, and is remembered by those who knew him.
