Derrick Michael Dargan

Derrick Dargan was a young Baltimore man whose life was woven into the neighborhoods where he lived and moved. Public records list him as 25 years old at the time of his death on February 1, 2015. Though few public notices or family-published remembrances are available online, the records that do exist show a real person — a son, a neighbor, a peer — whose life had worth and meaning to those who knew him.

Those who knew Derrick would likely remember him first for ordinary, human things: the daily routines, friendships, and local connections that make up a life. At 25, many people are building toward futures — working, learning, and dreaming — and Derrick’s age and presence in his Baltimore neighborhood suggest a life still unfolding with potential.

The public record of his death is limited to police and local listings noting that he was shot and later died on February 1, 2015, in Baltimore; beyond those factual entries there is little publicly posted biographical material to reconstruct childhood, work, or personal passions. Out of respect for privacy and accuracy, this remembrance does not speculate about family relationships, employment, or personal interests that are not documented in reliable sources.

Even where public information is sparse, it is important to remember that Derrick’s life had value beyond the brief lines in police or homicide lists. Those short records do not capture laughter shared with friends, the comfort he may have given family members, or the small acts of care he might have shown neighbors. This page honors that larger humanity: Derrick was a person whose life touched others, and whose absence was felt by people who loved him.

If family members or close friends wish to share memories, photos, or corrections to ensure Derrick is remembered fully and accurately, a memorial page can become a fuller portrait — one that centers his life, relationships, and the human presence he brought to his community.
