Remembering Degoul

A life held close in memory

Degoul Pietros is recorded in public memorial and police-linked listings as a 36-year-old man who died on August 2, 2017. Available public records about his life are sparse, but those that exist confirm his connection to the Baltimore area and mark him by his name, age, and the date his life ended.

What is clear from those records is that Degoul was a real person known to others — not a statistic. Listings that compile Baltimore’s 2017 homicide victims place him at 36 years of age and identify the location tied to his death as the 2500 block of Francis Street. Some community compilations note he was from the broader Washington/Baltimore region (one listing indicates Lanham, MD). Beyond these core facts there is little in the public record that describes his work, hobbies, or family; that lack does not lessen the reality that friends and relatives once knew him in ways public sources do not capture.

When public tribute and formal obituary notices are not available, a life story must be written with care and restraint. Degoul’s name is preserved in community remembrance efforts and memorial databases that honor those lost to violence. These compilations reflect the sorrow of people and neighborhoods that keep memory alive for names that might otherwise be forgotten. Though we cannot reconstruct a full personal history from the sources available, the records that do exist testify that Degoul mattered to people who remembered him and recorded his loss.

In remembering Degoul Pietros we hold to what the verified record offers: a person, 36 years old, connected to the Baltimore area, whose life ended on August 2, 2017. This page honors him by naming him and acknowledging that his life had value beyond public records. If family members or loved ones wish to share memories, photographs, or details that better reflect who Degoul was in life, those remembrances would help present a fuller, more personal portrait of the man behind the name.
