De’Ayris Lequan Perkins was an 18-year-old man killed in a double shooting on the east side of Indianapolis on Friday, December 7, 2018. Born June 2, 2000, in Lima, Ohio, he was remembered by family as a former boxer with a big heart and a ready smile, who enjoyed watching and playing football and liked to joke around. His parents are Patricia Petaway and Jimmy Perkins; he is survived by his siblings and his partner, Jayla Anderson.

De’Ayris’s organ donations through the Gift of Life of Indiana saved seven other people. Memorial services were held at Savior’s Grace Ministries.
