Darius Jamar Dawson was born to Eric Zachary Dawson and Roxie Dewitt Dawson on July 24th, 1988 in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He accepted Christ at an early age and grew up as a military brat and lived in various cities and states. Darius attended and received his education in the Cumberland County School System. DJ loved and exceled at sports and played on several organized sports teams. He was a gifted left-handed pitcher and he also enjoyed playing football. Following his graduation from E.E.

While a student there, he joined the lifelong Brotherhood of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, Beta Epsilon Chapter, Spring 2009. He accomplished his amazing goal of graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Sports Science and Fitness Management in May 2011. After graduation, Darius was determined to find his pathway of purpose and courageously tackled every challenge presented. He was excited about life and loved to help anyone that crossed his path. Darius was known to pay a stranger’s bill, buy Christmas toys for kids and so many other acts of kindness and love. Darius loved music and was extremely passionate about becoming a professional deejay. Subsequently, he became “DJ RULER” and he reigned his destiny by using music to make everyone feel better about themselves and the world around them! DJ would not allow anyone or anything to kill his “vibe” and his infectious smile and kind personality would make you want to just do better! He never complained and always found a way to keep going through the good and bad times. Darius was currently employed with RTI International as a Data Collections Specialist. Darius touched so many lives during his time on this Earth. He managed to unwrap every gift that God gave him while here! He is preceded in death by his older brother, Erran Zachary Dawson and was blessed to make lasting memories with his loving parents, Eric and Roxie Dawson; his brother Chaz L.
