Desmond Anwar Russell-Hadley born March 6, 1991 St. Louis, Missouri; suddenly entered heaven, February 16, 2020. Born to the union of Reed Ingram Hadley and Karen Elaine Russell-Hadley.

He attended Salem Elementary School, was an early graduate of McCluer North High School and Florissant Valley Community College.

He loved sports as he played little league baseball and high school basketball.

As a Latchkey counselor Florissant Valley YMCA, Monsanto campus, in 2005; he helped youth with academics, developing healthy relationships and taught values of honesty, respect and responsibility. Which gave him great joy and fulfillment. At his passing, was employed by Bellacino Pizza and Grinders.

At 6 years old he had his first trip to Europe; there in London helped spark a love for new experiences with family. Often to San Juan Puerto Rico, Orlando, FL. and New York.

We lovingly say Desmond's (Dezi) best friend was "Co-Co," his 14year old Terrier/Boxer. They were together since he was 2 years old, who passed in 2017.

There are no words to express how much he is deeply missed and loved.

He is survived by his mother, Karen Elaine Russell; father, Reed Ingram Hadley; Paternal Grandmother, Jennie Ingram-Hadley (91yrs.); two brothers, Jamal Hadley and Gavin Hadley; niece, Jorre' Hadley; nephew, Javier Saturia; Hadley aunts, uncles, cousins and friends worldwide.
