Demetrius was educated in the Philadelphia Public school system and graduated with honors from Simon Gratz high school. Demetrius was a man of many talents, including being trained in Taekwondo, and a soulful singer. He loved to sing and loved listening to Oldies! 

Demetrius developed a strong work ethic at a young age. He was very close with his father, Henry Town, and often worked alongside him, gaining valuable professional and life skills. Demetrius worked in several industries throughout his professional career but for the past decade, he found his niche as a salvage operator. Demetrius was a very practical person, but he also had a great sense of humor: one would undoubtedly begin laughing within minutes of talking to him. 

Demetrius was a man of exceptional wisdom and often enjoyed exploring the deeper truths in life. One of Demetrius’ greatest joys in his life was that of being a father:he took pride in his children, and he cherished the time he spent with them. Demetrius is preceded in death by his mother Mary Town and his father Henry Town. 

Demetrius leaves to cherish his memories with his loving wife of 28 years, Demita Hill, his sister Darnella Town, his beautiful children Britney, Demetrius Jr. (& Thomasina), Dominique, Tyanniece, Dahmere, Dayonna, and Daquan. His grandchildren: Armond, Nia and Demetrius the 3rd. His nephews Manuel and Mekhi, one niece Maniesha, his aunts Bertha Town, Vera Greene, Jennifer Perry, and Jeanetta Garvin. Along with a host of family and friends. Special mention to his cousins Jimel, James and Tina.

Demetrius is so very loved and will truly be missed!!!!!
