Remembering Solomon

A life held close in memory

Solomon Pritchett was a young man of Detroit whose life was cut short on March 6, 2012, at the age of 22. Public records and city homicide listings place him in the 48215 area of Detroit, and while the public record available online about Solomon is limited, the fact of his life and the loss felt by those who knew him is clear.

Though I could not locate a published family obituary or funeral-home notice matching his name and the exact date of death, multiple independent public databases and local homicide lists confirm Solomon’s identity, age (22), and the date he was found in Detroit. Those entries indicate an address block in the city, suggesting he was part of a neighborhood and community there.

Because there is no family-published memorial available in the public record discovered, this remembrance focuses on what can be verified and on honoring Solomon’s humanity rather than speculating about his life. He was a young adult in a city full of families, friends, and everyday ties — someone’s son, neighbor, and peer. Even when public details are sparse, each entry in a city’s records represents a person with relationships, routines, hopes, and a place in a community. Solomon’s passing left a gap in those circles.

This page is offered as a quiet tribute: an acknowledgment that Solomon existed, mattered, and was mourned. If family or friends wish to share memories, photos, or corrections to make this remembrance more personal and accurate, those contributions would help reflect the fuller life Solomon lived beyond what official listings record.
