On Sunday evening, several of Deuce’s classmates from Theodore High School gathered on Dauphin Island under the sunset to pay tribute to his life.A family member identified the 16-year-old who died as Deuce Barrere. They say he was a cheerleader in his junior year at Theodore High School. The family says Deuce’s mother, Katherine, and his older sister, Brooklyn, were severely injured and remain in the hospital.
On Sunday evening, several of Deuce’s classmates from Theodore High School gathered on Dauphin Island under the sunset to pay tribute to his life.Through laughter and tears, loved ones described Deuce as ‘the life of the party.’ They say he was full of light, spunk, and loved everyone unconditionally. They say he loved cheerleading. Many referred to Deuce as their ‘best friend’, saying Deuce made them all feel accepted and loved.
“If Deuce was around, the only time that he would be upset is when he was upset because his room was dirty. If that room was dirty, you gotta get out. You gotta get out and he has to clean that room. I even got kicked out and I was the one who helped him clean the room. There was never a dull moment with Deuce.
“I will say- he was probably the best person I’ve ever had in my life. He really showed me what a best friend can truly mean to you. He never once made me feel- I don’t mean to get deep- but he made sure I stayed here, if we’re really going to be honest. The way he was, the personality he had, he made sure that I stayed down, that I was good, and that I always had a home and I really respect him for that,” said Jaedin Wilson, Deuce’s best friend.
“The first time I met him, I knew he was going to be my best friend till the end,” said Brooklyn, one of Deuce’s friends. “The last text message I received from him was ‘Brooklyn, I want to change my life around and you inspired me to come to church and I’m going to come to church with you this Sunday and it breaks my heart knowing that he will never get to go to church with me.
