It is with heavy hearts yet enduring gratitude that we announce his passing on August 21, 2026. Demetrius was a beloved son to Richard and Kim Fleming, Loving brother of the late Courtney Fleming, and a cherished husband to Doresha AyersFleming. A proud graduate of Weldon High School in 2006, Demetrius pursued higher learning at Chowan University, where his incredible skills with the high school band left a lasting impression on all who heard him play. His passion for music and rhythm was not just a hobby but a way of life, and he shared this love with everyone he encountered, especially within his church community. Demetrius was the proud and loving father of Keshawn Williams, Azarah Brown, Alaysha Williams, Sajaiden Fleming, Imir Rodgers, Imya Rodgers, Demetria Fleming, Zendai Fleming, and Da'Loni Fleming. He often spoke with immense pride and joy about his children, and his eyes would light up at the mention of their accomplishments. To them, he was not just a father but a hero, a constant source of strength and inspiration who always wore a smile despite any hardships he faced. He is also survived by his siblings, Dorian Fleming (Clarence Burgess), Chris Fleming, Richard Fleming Jr, Robert Fleming, Kenneth Fleming, Terria Bates ( Darrin Bates), and Karen Butler. Each remembers him for his caring nature and the warmth he brought into their lives. Those who knew Demetrius will remember his ever-present smile and his passion for helping others and spreading joy. His spirit will forever be celebrated by his family and friends, who fondly recall his dedication to praising the gospel and having a great time in every moment.

I’m Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee, God wanted me now; He set me free.

Special Thanks

The family of Demetrius Eugene Fleming extends heartfelt gratitude for your prayers, support, and kindness during this time. Words cannot describe the pain of losing a Friend, a father, a brother, or simply a familiar face. Forever in our hearts, we love you, Dad.
