She attended high school at Arlington High School, Washington (1984 -1986). I'm fascinated at how a beautiful young lady like Demri lost control of her life to drugs. I wish they had suboxone and subutex available then instead of methadone clinics, I think it wouldve been easier on them. The drs told my family that my chances didnt look good because the infection was too out of control n i probably wouldnt make it through surgery. It took me a long time to figure out what to write here, but I felt compelled to say something. Its kinda surreal to read some of these stories from people who were actually there.

And we all know about Laynes death, alone in his apartment for weeks before anyone found him. He thought because he wasnt living there he shouldnt have to. She just GLOWS!! *, I will pray for you and your family, God bless you Susan. But when people are addicted to heroin, they have to want to stop or you cant really help them. I can understand that to a degree, but we were pals, and I wasnt gonna My heart goes out to Demris mother and family, same with Laynes.

He just didnt tell anyone that he was leaving. To be honest.. Ive never read Demris obituary but wed have to ask the person who wrote it why Rosheen was not mentioned.. maybe they did not want to confuse people? because you write about people and events where you can not find if it is the truth sorry my english. It must be so painful and so hard but also them you receive these positive messages, of love towards you, towards Demri and this must be also very grateful. (I never knew about Demri until I discovered this site and got to know BarbaraI consider her a friend and thank her for putting this wonderful site together.). Cotton Fever isnt from dirty cotton its from injecting a microscopic piece when you suction up the heroin thru it. Later into the night i got worse and my organs started shutting down. I hope this made sense I just typed it at 5 a.m. Night world! You are the only one on the internet who knows about those days, and any info on Demri, Layne, Chris, Andy, or others in the Seattle Grunge Scene would be appreciated. and a life without it again can seems totally unrealistic and near impossible to ALOT of addicts if not all and that may sound stupid, heartless of them but most addicts Ive known are also the most sensitive, loving, non-judgmental and wisest people Ive known.

I think I would feel much better to write my story which includes them all Mike, Layne, Demri, Rosheen, Darin Tracy.. RCKNDY the Off Ramp The Seattle grunge scene in the early 90s.. now that would be a book that Id like to write. Everybody had their problems, not just Layne. If people wanted to not just voice their opinion and get their hands dirty they could have, they chose not to and got jealous of the ones that did. I can understand as well as empathize with Layne, Demri, and all addicts that have been seduced by a drug that seems so good at first. Id like to read it someday but finding a copy would be the hard part and there is no way Id pay that much to read a book by someone who just researched Mike. Helping as a group also made too much sense. I agree with you D and Eric, in different things a lot of that just sounds to made up..and even if Jerry is a bit arrogant or has this kind of personality-which Ive read somewhere of him being a bit hard on Layne-it doesnt mean hes not a good personShe paints him like such a BAD GUY! Same symptoms. A lot of creativity! About. I just feel that sometimes Jerry does not get enough credit for the good things that he has done. For me, I was blesse dot have been there when it all happened ( Im from L.A. She was the "it" girl in Seattle in the early 90s and anyone who knew her and the club scene at the time I doubt would argue with me on that.".

I breed dogs, I work in tech support and Im a web designer.. not in a MILLION years would anyone have guessed that about me. I just dont know what happened after 98 99. Demri tried to warn me too and I also ignored her and lost years of my life.. that I can barely remember and doing almost everything I had always promised myself that ID NEVER DO I EVENTUALLY ENDED UP DOING THINGS I COULD NEVER OF IMAGINED ALWAYS JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE THAT FUCKING EVIL ADDICTION!!

It was supposed to be their clean and healthy place and after Ward. Blessings from Iceland. I agree completely. Demri had a look that seemed to define the musical era, beautiful in a small-town way with her bright eyes, round cheeks, and curly hair. On the slim chance you ever read this, just know that even in 2017 there are people who still cherish the GOOD memories of that time, way back in the day when grunge was still in its innocenceto this day I get chills listening to AiC, Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone. But, how did it happen? That's what Layne is for me. Demri Parrott was born on 22 February 1969 in Bremerton, Washington, USA. By the time he tried to wake her she was in a coma. Dearest Dem, I will forever miss you..you silly, sweet, wild and precious fairy child. She was loved by many, but always on the run, Layne got her and him a house, but shed stay only a few nights, never moving in. . You have to completely get away from your environment you used in like the whole city you gotta find all new friends and you need to want it more then anything else!! Build your family tree online .

On the Demri Parrott page you will be able to add and update factual information, post media and connect this topic to other topics on the website. I know that you have a busy life, but Ill never forget that you emailed me info on Demri, such as her liking of decoupage with Angels & Victorian art, which she used & put on boxes as gifts for friends. According to Tom he drove out to Fred Meyer past Wedgewood where Demri spent half the summer (before moving into Juliets) and he went shopping. We all were our suing a buzz in those days and the idea was to just be careful. I remember I was shooting video for Nancy at one of those tributes five years ago -shooting man on the street interviews outside, and Mike pulled up in a limo and talked to some of us , and we chatted but he was high as a kite. ), Jerry was totally dogging out then. Laynes riff with Jerry was for telling him he needed to go to rehab and not going himself, hearing Laynes solo music and taking it to the band and borrowing his 8-track and erasing his stuff with Maynard (I dont think Jerry noticed it was on there). But not anymore. Again thank you. This website is simply amazing, a treasure trove of information for those wanting to go under the surface. (i.e. I read once that everyone knew her, and if you went anywhere with her from California to Vancouver, shed bump into people she knew. Demri could pull of any look and this picture is a great example of her versatility as a model. They had called me after being with me in Vegas in the spring of 93 when they got there and they wanted Layne to have the band there on Family Day to deal with Band Issues. 2. The next time Id run into those people who just meant to try it once would almost always be totally caught up and addicted. Its quite ridiculous. Laynes music has always spoke to me and I know a lot of it has to deal with how brutally honest he always was with his struggles. A friend once said that "Demri was not a hippy, goth, grunge girl she was her own creation. Did you hear this new record by this band? And I loved itI thought it was so cute. Its been lonely here without him. According to David de Sola's book Alice In Chains: The Untold Story, Layne Staley believed that the ghost of his late girlfriend Demri Parrott visited him just days before his April 2002 death.. AIC has always been a huge impact on me personally (and musically). Was it the pressure she felt? If you put him in rehab, he could check himself out. some photos just got released of Demri a month before she died. she looks really different than in her other photos, still pretty, just a little rough and worn down. They both go through hell, together and apart, but the love they shared keeps them together, not as a couple, but as two people who will never leave one another, no matter what. Very seldom been wrong. Perhaps because her obituary mentions she loved to play in front of the camera, people have a particular hope that a video of her will someday surface. Demri Parrott was in relationships with Rosheen Raugi (1993 - 1996), Kent Lake (1988), Paul Uhlir (1987 - 1989) and John Baker (person) (1984). She was vacant, self-serving and morally bankrupt. Thanks for visiting the website and sharing the video but that video has been around for awhile and it is not Demri..

But in continuing with heroin and coke, she damaged her body more, to the point of no return. But I guess thats the nature of celebrity. SORRY, but no one Ive known has ever STAYED clean for someone elses sake, because theyve been shamed or guilt tripped into getting clean. That was the night of the 28th. Omg, those TIGHTS! Every now and then Ill go through a phase where I read as much as I can about her, it never really feels like I know enough. Drugs was his escape to find what he was longing forlove. Great to see you on here. Layne was okay until the last night of the tour. Around October 20th or so she made some phone calls and wrote some letters to some people. But unless you knew them.. because they were so private I just cant imagine anyone can ever get it right.. unless you were there and you felt their life spirit.. you know what I mean? She, like Layne, was very generous. Why do you think it is so hard to stop? But they were always connected, and when she passed, so did Laynes spirit. Hang in there sister it gets easier and it gets better. Im sorry, but I just cant stand the man. Prayers are with you at this Holiday time.

I KNOWI just wanna try it onceBELIEVE ME I am not stupid it doesnt usually end up working out like that. They were always fine with my vegetarian dishes but I wanted to get some nutrients in them and meat on their bones, which is pretty much all I could really do to help. Yes, she was so beautiful, and the love of his life. I have been a long time fan of Layne Staley. He loved Layne more than anything, I think even more than Courtney sometimes (Courtney as you all know was Jerrys on off gf.) A little flower wild child girl who wont be never ever forgotten and will be for ever and for always loved and missed. Every parent wants their child to grow up healthy and successful. But I hope that you will. She died on 29 October 1996 in Evergreen Hospital, Kirkland, Washington / Bremerton, Kitsap County, Washington, USA at the age of 27. When he came back from tour he moved back in until the band went down to do Rock in Rio. Apparently, he found that lasting love with Dem or did he? but I cant help but wonder if he had stayed living there, if things wouldve been a lot better for Layne He wouldve have isolated himself in his ivory tower and died the way he did. They are blessed to have had a great friend in you who will tell their story and stick up for them so fiercely too. I hope things are getting better for you and if not you hear me and please go get help. Hes got this Im Jerry Cantrell and youre not sort of attitude.

Yes, she was sick from herion, but so was Marilyn. I ran into Darin a few days back always nothing but love when we see each other. A few pictures..of Demri Parrott during her short life.. she made an impact that is for sure. Anyone of her friends would have given her money to buy cotten besides its free at the hospital and they do send you home with a ton of supplies and she was there a lot. So anyways, yesterday I ran into so-and-so and blah blah blah. Thank you for this site, and these photos, and your memories. I knew Andy before her, but I started getting a lot closer to Xana than I ever had with him. I cant say I know much about her, but in the end, I hate the idea of romanticizing two junkies seemingly feeding off of each other. The would cut and bag their heroin. Heroin is a beast of a drug all its own in short or in laymans terms..it ruins your ability to be naturally happy. Doesnt matter though that she was not mentioned in her obituary because I know that Rosheen knew how important she was to Demri and Rosheen was at her funeralso that probably hurt her. That sound was amazing I was listening to Rotten Apple with the black lights on and it just took me to another place. I would love to read more about this era and i know there is alot of crap out there but in your opinion which book written about that time in history on AIC and even mentioning Demri would you think is the most accurate?? He was usin. She was really frisky; she was all over everybody. If I had been in that same situation, my own mother, who I love dearly, would not have been so loving. Yes, shes there. I originally posted feeling pretty down and Im sorry I vented about personal feelings that only tangentially had anything to do with Layne. This page is the FamousFix profile for Demri Parrott. I can say that Kathleen and Rosheens Moms know each other and leaned on each other during that tough time when they both lost their daughters. However they clearly adored each other and this is why they remain such a large part of each others legacy. The seduction of heroin is no joke and ANYONE can be its next victim. Her true fans have compassion. It was the other way around. He was like Laynes pimp, only he couldnt get Layne to work. It was love at first sight. Shes perfect in every way. Shadows of their former selves and it happens faster then you know unless youve seen it happen before then you know exactly what I mean. And their angel wings. I do believe in suboxone if you just use it for a short period and then detox off. She had three younger half-brothers from her mothers side, Devin Remme, and Derek and David Murphy; and a younger half sister from her biological fathers side, Christa Dougherty.

They were freaked out by it all and didnt understand it. Demri was a leech. I ask them to send me the strength I need. Seeing posts pertaining to Andrew Wood, Xana and Mike was very pleasant too. Once he moved to that place, I didnt talk to him. Im so glad to see the people who are able to look past her addiction because obviously there was so much more to her. Thank you Kat, I try to be friendly and just treat everyone like I would expect to be treated so its always nice to hear.
