I believe its the second version. Not heroin, but pills and marijuana. I ask them to send me the strength I need. LoveRats 11:31 PM 11-24-2010 Demri Parrott was former ex-girlfriend of singer Layne Staley from Alice in Chains. Its sad because most society cant look past ones addiction to drugs although we all have some weakness or do something that would be frowned upon & even if one was perfect its still not right. I also was a hard core heroin addict and my family and life suffered from it and I honestly did not have the willpower to save my self. From what Ive read, she was disliked by many people in Laynes life (and vice versa) because they viewed her as a bad influence, and she knew this. I hope they are in peace and my prayers are with the family and friends. Ive read things on here claiming that she took his money and relied on him financially, but I cant say Ive ever read anything to say this is true. Was it a physical predisposition to everything out there? . It has been very therapeutic for me over the years and it has helped to keep Demris memory alive and has introduced her name to so many who never knew who she was which was my original goal. His last photos were published five years before his death in 1997 when he won Grammy Awards. This photo was not uploaded because you have already uploaded 15 photos to this memorial. She did what she wanted to do, and the friends she left behind are crying at her memory. He is still my favorite singer of all time to this day; that will never change I dont think. It could be her though because she would definitely go to that show and she did have long hair like that (although her hair was more wavy I think) and there were a lot of people coming up to her and talking which would mesh with how popular she was. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBZm-_6Qa3k, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL29f0AehNI, Oh Barbara, I was just waitting for your confirmation but now im very disappointed:( But anyway thank you very much for this site. It is so scary and so serious. That crap about the model and Layne I would bet money thats not true. The two soon became engaged but eventually broke up around 1994. The opposite occurred, she cut off contact with Layne save for minor interactions, she hustled to get money for smack. Thanks so much, your website and memories are so generous and appreciated. You need to get well. It usually has nothing to do with how much they love YOU.
Demri Lara Parrott (1969 - 1996) - Genealogy - geni family tree Ok, thank you Liz! I too lost a sister. It is a familiar tale but one that just cant penetrate the young minds. Anything you have to say would be gratefully appreciated. If people only knew how stuck in grief I was for YEARS and today I still miss them all but I dont break down crying anymore. She did her movies, needed a babysitter for many, but she got through it all. Anyhow, over and out-just wanted that cleared up. I know this is an old ass post and comment but I agree, this post is weird as fuck. She loved creating decopage with 30s and 40s vintage style images cut outs from wrapping paper or old greeting cards. I took this picture with my web camera.. the picture was a photo copy taped to my wall.. Id cook up some favorite foods like my scampi tacos, phad Thai, smoked chix green chili enchiladas, and Layne loved his pot roast meal and Demri Fettuccine. Happy to know you found and enjoy the web site. Their friends warned against it, rehab for both many times. It doesnt seem right to me that they continue the band because there is no improvement. Prayers. I can understand that to a degree, but we were pals, and I wasnt gonna God bless her mother, cause mine would have let me die without hospital stays. Ive read about how Demris was stuck inside her home with the dealers waiting by her front door somewhere. I think at that point Jerry got pissed and tired of waiting around and did his own music. And I agree, no one should die the way he did, junkie or not. She was so young, so beautiful the tragic muse, a fairy. Demri always and forever a wild wood pixie. When cleaning I didnt know what belonged to who, which is risky). It is even hard this far out but so freeingI have terminal cancer and if I could I would have love to have given your daughter whatever it was in me to make this happen so she could be here with you Addiction is a disease and one we need to address in this country very seriously without all the judgementWe shall just pray for all the negative talk out there if there is and the ironic thing is that it is those that judge other addicts that will discover it is in their own family! 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. But as a fan who collects all kinds of memorabilia, it is nice to have. Sadly, Demri passed away in 1996 of endocarditis caused by her drug use. Its all in your head how this life is and if you can find away to stay positive then everything wont look so dark. Take care and Thanks so very much again for keeping this site up and running. RIP. Its quite ridiculous. Demri was staying with a friends Dad trying to kick by the time I got out so she could come stay at my parents while I recovered from surgery and she had to be clean to do that. In 1996, Staley's life was turned upside down when his former fiance, Demri Lara Parrott, died of a drug overdose and when she passed, so did a bit of Staley. Historical records matching Demri Parrott But hes right here with us now on the fire place! Why? For the first time in 10 yrs im doing good! She turned really different, and believe me when I say that she was not truly the person that she was becoming. I dont remember the exact story Lanegan told in Sing Backwards and Weep, but seems to me that after she got the pacemaker, she left the hospital (possible with an IV pole?) Half of this sounds made up..this Koa girlJesus, what people do.. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/archive/index.php?t-234414-p-11.html, Any comments about this? Thank You! So, anyway, the point to me leaving a comment is to say that I just read Layne Staley, Born again by Adriana Rubio. . Ok, Ive said enough here I hope I help someone with my stories. For some reason I always thought it would be better to go out with an OD because then it wouldnt be a surprise and maybe my family wouldnt be as upset as they would with a suicide. Laura. Rare pictures show her to be dark-featured and pretty, with long black hair and dark eyes. I know her story is full of pain and mistakes, you never hid that from us, and maybe because of this some close friends and family dont come in public to tell about her. She attended high school at Arlington High School, Washington (1984 -1986). It seems that Demri and Layne took pleasure in hurting one another until it got to be too much. I know Mrs. Austin has lost more than Demri, may God Bless her, and Laynes mom has a grandchild, or grandchildren, by now. What happened with that book, he had a really good chronological order of things. Get help for yourself from someone whose been there or a professional and they can help you learn how to handle your specific situation better. I am sober now and I understand this and it brings tears to my eyes thinking about how bad I was for all those years of stealing and lying to them and my mom crying worried if I was going to die. Layne Staley and Demri Parrott were, according to close friends and bandmates, described as perfect for each other and the term soulmates has been used more than once to define their relationship. We loved our friends and they dropped like flies around us one after the otherwe thought we could control it.. they thought they could live forever.. Build your family tree online .
Demri Parrott - IMDb Then bring on the lying to hide it from everyone who loves you, bring on the HORRIBLE shame and actual disgust for yourself for turning into everything you had always looked down on or at least never thought youd become..a junkie. But they just often acted like a married couple. Its just a bunch of musicians talking about the music scene in the Seattle and surrounding areas.Theres a tiny bit about Demri in it. I haven't seen her in years, but I had a thing for her since the moment I laid my eyes on her and I can't get her out of my head to this day. I dont think that her and Layne had a healthy relationship and I dont think it should be idealised. They were engaged to marry on 1992. I bumped into this web site and it was a very nice memorial for Layne and Demri. All information, records, stories, anecdotes, and pictures are welcome. were goners. Layne loved Clean Demri it gave him hope. She didnt met her biological father and half sister until she was an adult. Her death is considered to have pushed Layne over the final edge, as he then became a recluse in his own condominium. 1). I visit it often . Content on this page is contributed by editors who belong to our editorial community. We were buddies and got closer when he was engaged to Miranda because he really wanted to do right by her. Thank you for visiting the site and showing love for the ones we love. great website. This website was also made with the AIC fans in mind and to introduce you to themthe real Demri not just the girlfriend of Layne Staley. Haha! Later, as he got deeper into heroin, he almost seemed stooped over and maybe a little bow legged in AICs last concerts in 96. I know this because Layne called me to make sure I was checking on her so I was around a lot. Not only am I a fan, but I have become intrigued by Laynes life due to having a 21 year old son, who in many ways, reminds me of Layne. She was born Feb. 22, 1969, in Bremerton. Or did he just appear that way because of being really thin and probably feeling sick a lot? If thats true then her story is skewed and should be viewed as such (thats a word of caution to the next intrepid armchair detective who gets this far) Its funny how the internet makes it possible for anyone with curiosity and an active imagination to dig up these stories and become fascinated with the lives of people theyve never met who have passed away. Love and support to you and your family, God bless to you! I think a book about your life that includes your friends and remembers them would be lovely. Mark and Layne were really cool together. Layne later said that Demri wasnt too bothered by this, but I didnt know her then. Please if you ever get a chance, write that book. It was never about, How are we going to prop him up to get him on a tour? I had this conversation with Layne over and over and over after the success of Facelift: Your health is the most important thing. Take care!! and this: watch?v=LL29f0AehNI Makes total sense that D and L were soulmates. DAVID DUET Before I left Seattle, Alice in Chains was having their big Bumbershoot show and Facelift was out. A lot of people think he was shitty because he would prop Layne up on a microphone stand if he had to and do the show, even if Layne was totally wrecked. I just hope you are able to get well again and I hope whatever happens you are able to find peace with it. It seems like Demri was homeless, staying here and there. Im not jumping on this now just because our wonderful Layne is gone as much as because of the conjecture. When he came out, he assumed that she was asleep. Just let them know youll be there when theyre ready to get clean. Why do you think it is so hard to stop? Demri Parrott was an American model. That sound was amazing I was listening to Rotten Apple with the black lights on and it just took me to another place. Also I do know Rachel was trying to be there for Layne after Demri died and he did let her but he said not romantically. As I approach the 10year anniversary of the day I came home from work ( I bartended at Lindas the iconic dive bar on Seattles Capitol Hill) and discovered my sister dead in our apartment on Denny Ave N. Nobody can understand what a loss of a beloved can take from those left behind if they havent been there. Heroin becomes their lover, their mother, their friend. But, if you do, you could save a life. Regarding kids I think Layne wanted to have a family. Demri lost that place in Feb. Because she could no longer afford the rent on her own. I visit Demris Facebook page every once in a while and Ive learned that her closest friends dont like to disclose a lot. Theres a youtuber named Kristina who has a channel called FullyRawKristina who makes videos about raw veganism, even though a lot of her videos are receipe videos which may be high in fat and should not be eaten too often of they have a lot of fat, but her videos are a place to start. We all know parts of things, combined it all might make sense one day huh? They were trying to treat her endocarditis for the last 2 years and she had a pace maker at 26 but the H had a serious hold on her, too. I can only imagine what the music, art and fashion industries would be like today if they had both survived their addictions. watch?v=dBZm-_6Qa3k If you want to sign up to get notified of our website updates.. please enter your email address into the form at the bottom of the right hand sidebar. 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 always had faith in you though. My husband purchased it as a christmas gift for me. The would cut and bag their heroin. Ughhh, whats the need? And I used to live my life just like layne and demri. I know it can be a struggle to help drug addicts. End of june..i start getting sick again. To pay for such risks with ones life is just awful and seems unfair. 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. Layne dated pornstar Tera Patrick in the 90s (she said so in her biography, she was 17 and worked as a model at the time) and also Simone Starr Farrow, the australian model (and then drug dealer). I thought here may be a good place. That Koa story has been particularly perplexing and I never could figure out exactly how it fit in. I wish Demri had that same desire, to want to be an actress/model, who read books, studied acting. Heroin usually either ends in jail, life long opiate replacement programs like methadone or suboxone or death. It has nothing to do with you why they cant get clean. SomeoneI dont want to say whobrought him some heroin because they couldnt find any coke. Im not sure if this message goes to Barbara, or not. I had nothing left of them myself so it was like a true gift and to find pictures of my loved ones online.
Demri Parrott - IMDb Also I read somewhere that Layne wanted kids of his own is that true? I needed to get back to work and Id drive them crazy getting up every couple hours and putting my ears to their mouth to make sure they were breathing. He didnt seem to want to do it because he had a bad feeling about it. I know that he was at Jerrys 98 Halloween concert, and had thought about making an appearance there. Just saying that Demri could have done so much more. Just rude and no respect Or those already gone like Demri and Layne.. best thing they can come up with is they have a life to live??? She wanted the 27 club, and she got it, much to everyone who loved her, bringing them such sorrow. The Mad Season lyrics are generally regarded to be Laynes true feelings on everything and in Lifeless Dead he said How he wished that they would wed/I promise on our love she said/promises were never kept so we know he wanted to marry Demri at one point and for some reason I feel that he wanted to have a family. I decided to do a Google search on Demri and I actually found this page which is dedicated to her and Layne it has some poor quality copies of pictures that I actually posted of her like 5 years ago.. It's pretty obvious the person who wrote it didn't know her which became more .
OBITUARIES - products.kitsapsun.com Anyway, I think you hit the nail on the head when you explained why Layne did what he did.
Layne Staley of Alice In Chains Died Here - FeelNumb.com She did not need makeup to shine. That was the night of the 28th. That particular photo has never been made public and . As mean and selfish as it may sound for an addict to abandon their loved ones THATS exactly what I am talking about! Its easy for people to judge and if they can stick with you during good and bad thats a wonderful thing. I also thing its amazing how they found such amazing friends along the way who stuck with them during the hardest times! Most of us refused to turn someone on for the first time. I guess most all questions have been answered on this lovely site. In the position he was in, its probably the only way he couldve had a lasting relationship. Would anynof those be from 95 or 96 ? Truly a loving person. I knew Andy before her, but I started getting a lot closer to Xana than I ever had with him. Demri was super-funny and very forward. It wasnt a blatant thing, but it was definitely implied a couple of times that they wanted to know how he was. Its not easy but it is possible!! Cornell said Layne came up the stairs to the apartment and was crying and nobody got up and gave him a hug and now he wished hed have done that. I started writing this journal online because writing about losing you all has helped to heal my broken heart when nothing else did. She was interested in philosophy and poetry, and loved to collect vintage clothes, make decoupage, write poetry and play in front of the camera. They both were on different drugs by the time Dirt came out, and it only grew worse for them both, though they still loved one another. Barbara thanks for putting your heart into this and also for educating people about drugs. I was with Demri most of 96 up until I went in the Hospital Oct.14. I cannot imagine how you feel I have so much empathy for you. Yes, I like both men and women. She was only 27. I apologize ms. Susan. This may be too personal to ask, but I have been curious. She was born Feb. 22, 1969, in Bremerton. Let this be a good story to stop people from picking up for the first time. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. It tries to steal your life and the sparkle or energy that flows within us all. I hate to stop before I am finished with something and will work 72 hours straight to get something finished no matter what even being my own boss. Wed hide and they would sit on the porch for hours to the point Demri almost got evicted so she let them in. But also open dialogue about drugs and continued thinking of the young that this could never happen to them. Media can put entertainers on the highest pedestals and even encourage the descructive behavior, but drop them like hot potatoes or make matters even worse when the downward spiral goes into overdrive. I respect that. Best Of Luck to you Ms. Jacqueline from Scotland. Barbara People around the world come here to share informations and curiosities and read stories about people you love so much. Layne was flipping through the channels and stumbled on the John Edward show Crossing Over, on which a medium claimed to speak to audience members dead relatives. They were freaked out by it all and didnt understand it. I know he blamed himself for Demri dying we all played the should a, could a, wouldda tape in our head. Its also sad that she took Layne down that path with her. Hopefully, this still reaches you today. at this time of year. But he never said so outright. ciao sorry for my english I hope to be understood, I wanted to participate more and share with many of you but as I said I do not know the English language, thank you barbara (admin) and his friend Darim you for sharing your stories . I find it hard to believe. See more ideas about demri parrott, alice in chains, demri lara parrott. Does that not spread to ones own family? Its been lonely here without him. I hope this made sense I just typed it at 5 a.m. Night world! There was nothing about her that was so special that it would have stood out all on its own. Staley couldn't bring himself to join Cantrell on stage after being asked, and a photo taken of him backstage is the last image of the singer before his death. Demri and Rosheen loved each other very much and I loved them both. there is something so special about her. I know Demri got endocarditis as a result of heroin use, and all of the trouble that caused her. AIC has always been a huge impact on me personally (and musically).
