Demarcus M. Peterson

Mr. Demarcus Montrell Peterson passed away on Friday, March 21, 2025, at Covenant Health Care Harrison after a lengthy illness, age 40 years. Demarcus was born August 11, 1984, in Saginaw, Michigan to Felicia McDaniel and Edward Hulett. He was a lifelong resident of Saginaw, Michigan.

Demarcus attended Saginaw public schools. Many referred to him as “Block” and “Keyglock,” and his grandmother affectionately referred to him as “Polo.” Demarcus' favorite color was red.

Demarcus was a great son, father, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend. He loved listening to music, dancing, and cracking jokes. Most of all, Demarcus loved his family and enjoyed spending time with them, especially his daughter, nieces, and nephews. He enjoyed hanging out with his buddies from the Xclusive Car Club, where he was a member.

Demarcus will be truly missed. We are thankful for the time we had with him.
