Demetrics Washington

Demetrics Dion Lamar Adams Washington, Sr. was born May 16, 1975 in Saginaw, Michigan to Christopher Lamar Adams and LaDawn Phillips.

Baptized as a child, Demetrics accepted Christ at an early age and was a member of Holy Communion Church. He was a student of Saginaw Public Schools, attending Central Junior High and Saginaw High School, “Class of 1993.” He was an excellent cook and cheese was his favorite ingredient. According to Poochie, his nickname from birth, cheese made everything better.

Demetrics loved dogs and he loved cartoons, especially Dragon Ball Z. Yet, neither of those compared to the love he had for his family. Poochie enjoyed being around his family more than anything. He loved wrestling with his brothers and nephews and having a good time with his nieces. He was a good person. A happy person. A man who loved hard without hesitation. He constantly expressed his love for his family and they never tired of hearing it. Poochie may be gone but he will never be forgotten.

On Saturday, July 21, 2018 Demetrics transitioned to his heavenly home. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Elbert Washington and Geneva Powell.
