Finneytown Mourns The Loss of Young Student Athlete

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of one of our own Wildcats, Demarco Bryant, Class of 2025. Marco was taken from us far too soon on Sunday, September 13,2026.

Marco was so much more than a student. He was a friend, an athlete, a Restorative Peer Mediator, a participant in our Black History Month performances, and an all-around charismatic young man who brought energy and personality wherever he went.

Marco was involved in so many areas of our school community. He played basketball, ran track and cross country, participated in boys volleyball, and played soccer. Whether he was competing on the field or court, helping others through Restorative Practices, or simply being Marco, he made an impact on the people around him.

Our hearts go out to Marco's family, friends, classmates, teammates, teachers, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Losing a young person is incredibly difficult, and we know there are many in our Finneytown family who are hurting right now.

Marco will always be a Wildcat, and his memory will remain a part of our Finneytown family. Please keep his family and all those who loved him in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.
