In Loving Memory of Dearrius Weston
It is with deep sorrow that we remember Dearrius Weston, a young man of just 21 years from Arkansas, whose life was tragically cut short on Tuesday in a workplace accident at the Transylvania County Landfill expansion site. His untimely passing has left family, friends, colleagues, and the community in profound grief, struggling to come to terms with the loss of someone so full of potential and promise.
According to Sheriff Chuck Owenby, the preliminary investigation indicates that Dearrius was pinned to the ground by a large piece of equipment while working at the landfill site. Emergency responders acted swiftly, initiating life-saving measures immediately after he was freed, but despite their efforts, Dearrius was pronounced deceased at the scene. He was a contract worker involved in the final stages of the new landfill expansion project—a project that demanded hard work, focus, and dedication, qualities Dearrius brought every day.

This devastating loss serves as a reminder of how fragile life can be and how precious each moment truly is. Dearrius’ life, though short, was filled with purpose and the promise of what he could achieve. His dedication to his work, his loyalty to those he cared about, and his gentle spirit will not be forgotten. The memories of his smile, his determination, and his kindness will remain with his family, friends, and community forever.
As we mourn Dearrius, we honor his life and the contributions he made in his time here. His legacy is not measured only by his work but by the love and respect he inspired in those around him.
