Da'Marcus "Dee" Anthony Ardoin was born on June 9, 1997 in Lake Charles, La to Floyd Henderson and Tish Ardoin.

Da"Marcus lived his entire life in Lake Charles, La and graduated from Parkview Christian School.

The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Dee and his pleasant personality was contagious to everyone he met. His mother was the love of his life, and he enjoyed spending time with her.  He also enjoyed listening to music and spending time with his family, and his dog Scoobie. He was a snazzy dresser who loved designer clothes and shoes. His cheerful attitude and bright smile will be greatly missed.

He will be lovingly remembered by his mother, Tish Ardoin and stepfather Joseph Tobias Bellard, father Floyd Henderson, sisters Makenzie Ardoin, Maddison Johnson and step-sister Veronica Bellard, half-brother Josh Comeaux, step-brother Joseph Bellard, Jr., paternal grandmother Cynthia Henderson and maternal grandparents Melton and Geneva Ardoin, two aunts Tiffany Henderson and Tempestt Henderson, two nephews Kaysen Grey Celestine and Kross Mckenzie Lewis, special friend Mecca Watley and a host of other relatives and friends.
