Jermiquec Goings

Jermiquec Goings grew up connected to Baton Rouge and its neighborhoods, graduating from Belaire High School in 2012. Born in Wurzburg, Germany, his life — like so many in the region — included ties that crossed places and people. Those who knew him remember a young man rooted in his community and the rhythms of everyday life in the city.

Goings completed his schooling at Belaire High, a local milestone that places him among classmates, friends, and neighbors who shared schools, sports fields, and community spaces. Public records and reporting identify him as 25 years old at the time of his death in November 2019; beyond these factual anchors, the public record contains limited personal detail. What is clear from those records is that Jermiquec was a real person with a family network and a hometown presence — someone whose life mattered to the people around him.

While many of the public accounts about his passing focus on the circumstances surrounding that day, the memory of Jermiquec should center on his life: a young graduate, a neighbor in Baton Rouge, and a person with roots reaching back to Wurzburg. For those seeking to honor him, small acts such as visiting a favorite place, sharing a memory with family, or making a quiet gesture in his name can help keep the human part of his story alive.

Because there is no family-published obituary located in publicly available funeral-home notices that matches the November 12, 2019 death date, this remembrance is drawn from verified public records and reporting. It is offered with respect and restraint, acknowledging the limits of available public detail while affirming that Jermiquec Goings was a person of value whose life touched others.
