Pierre Deanthony Washington

Pierre Deanthony Washington (known to family by nicknames reported in memorial listings) was a young father and member of the Birmingham community whose life mattered deeply to those who loved him. A graduate or former student of G.W. Carver High School, Pierre is remembered in public memorials as a 22-year-old whose daughter and family were left to carry his memory forward.

Public memorial records and community remembrance pages note that Pierre’s death on June 29, 2016, left a profound void for his mother, his younger brother, and the daughter he fathered. The scraps of public record emphasize relational bonds over public biography: he was a son, a brother, and a father, roles that defined the private life his family continues to honor. Those who light candles on memorial sites and share photographs recall him with the brief, tender details families often keep close.

Because there is no publicly available, family-authorized obituary published that matches the exact death date in major obituary archives that could be located during this research, much of what is publicly verifiable comes from community memorial sites and databases that record gun-violence losses. These sources confirm his name, age at death (22), the date he died (June 29, 2016), the city (Birmingham, Alabama), and that he had attended G.W. Carver High School. They also indicate he left behind a young daughter and grieving family members.

This page is intended to center Pierre’s personhood rather than the circumstances of his death. Though details about his day-to-day life, work, hobbies, or fuller family relationships are limited in the public record found, the facts that are available point to a young life that mattered to loved ones and to a daughter who knows him through family stories. For visitors who knew Pierre, this remembrance honors the roles he filled and the bond of family that endures despite loss.

If you are a family member or close friend with additional memories, photographs, or a family-prepared obituary you would like included here, consider sharing them so this memorial can more fully reflect the life Pierre lived and the ways he is remembered by those who loved him.
