Dariel Pulliam Atlanta Homegoing Celebration: Memorial Service



DSC_0214

Dariel Pulliam an iconic hairstylist and make-up artist but to many of the people who attended his home going celebration, he was a true friend that inspired and touched everyone he encountered. His warm kind hearted spirit was a quality he was blessed with and he unknowingly improved the quality of our lives just by being himself.

The ceremony was none like I’d ever seen The City of Atlanta came out to pay their respects to my homie and most of them stood up and revealed to everyone what a blessing it was to have known him. The most beautiful part of the ceremony was when over 300 of Dariel’s friends gathered outside for the releasing of the balloons. Just before the releasing we all sang “Amazing Grace” after the song was over we said our silent prayers to him and released the spiritual balloons into the air and watched them vanish into the distance.

R&B Singer Tiffany Evans spoke about her first experience as one of Dariel’s clients. She expressed to him that he was braiding her hair too tight, Dariel simply replied,

“Sweetie If you wanna look like me, then tight is what you get”

Tiffany couldn’t deny that fact so she let him continue, (LOL) she said from their on out she and her husband welcomed Dariel into their life just like family and they developed a close a healthy bond.

Celebrity hair stylist Derek J was unable to attend do to unexpected schedule, but he sent his sister to speak kind words on his behalf on how much he loves, respect, and adores his friend and colleague.

Hip Hop Artist Mika Means, conveyed how Dariel always had a keen intuition for people enduring trying times. She said every time she and Dariel were in each others presence, he always sensed she needed to talk to someone and every time Dariel was there to be an ear for her and issue out his words of wisdom. He never spoke negative of anyone and always embraced positivity EVERYWHERE he went.

Dariel’s bestie Neffe and her sister Elite Noel his other bestie friend really hit it home when they spoke of their true friend. They spoke of how God used his angel Dariel as an example to wake up all of the lost souls that need to be redeemed. Elite challenged everyone to encompass love and positive energy everywhere they go so that our lovely friend Dariel’s passing was not gone in vein.

I want to shine special light on owner of Glam Bar Sabrina Dariel’s Auntie Cynthia and the entire family of the Glam Bar for putting together a beautiful ceremony.

On behalf of your boy FreddyO and Jazmyne, I want to say Dariel homie I will never forget you and I will forever embody your kind spirit with me for the rest of my life. Rest In Peace Bro!

For everyone that knew Dariel and couldn’t make it to the Atlanta ceremony, his official one will be held In his hometown Baltimore, Maryland on Friday April 15, 2011. Here are all the pic’s

    That Derek J statement sure didn’t reflect his Twitter timeline but I digress, I never knew him personally but based on his tweets, youtube videos, and overall presence I feel like he’s been my friend all my life. Looking at Neffe’s pic makes me so sad and the casket brings in so many emotions. Rest on Dariel, check on my mom for me and make sure you hook her up.

    IT was so sad 2 hear about Dariel Pulliums’ passing. IT was also sad 2 hear tht his family was seeking financial help…I want 2 say tht 2morrow isnt promised and when u r in the position tht he was in,(celebrity stylist & all) he should have been better prepared. Tht means life insurance and a will. Eventho he seemed like a very kind person he had 2 knw tht with his lifestyle tht anything was possible. They said tht he had fluid in the lungs which 2 me sounds like pneumonia which is a sign of HIV/AIDS…the Red ballons normally are used for Heart Disease or the AIDS cause…hmmm

    Ppl closest 2 D KNEW tht he was HIV positve. He came in2 contact with MRSA…its a skin infection tht can be deadly in instances where the immune system is compromised. It can eat away @ bones and invade ur lungs, heart. Ppl need 2 knw this info so they can b aware. Maybe the reason he didnt have insurance is because he coulnt get it due 2 his medical situation. I sure hope his many celebrity friends dont let tht man go out of here looking like a Buster especially when he kept it so fly and fancy…R.I.P D

  16. Nurse Nina says:

    That’s what I’m sayin!

  17. Nurse Nina says:

    His death sounds similiar to Eazy E ‘s death. Staph infections are serious but only if left untreated for months, and if one’s immune is already compromised. More over, How could such a fab looking fellow function with sores which staph causes for a long period of time? PPl really need a reality check. Speaking the truth isnt judging. PPl that have AIDS don’t die from AIDS, they die due to complications from the virus. Having anal sex increases the chances for men and women to come into contact with the virus if sexing someone with the virus. PPl need to practice safe sex and know your status. Those who are most at risk for MRSA infections are babies whose immune systems aren’t fully developed yet, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems, such as HIV/AIDS patients. With the advance of anti-viral medications over the last 15 years, HIV/AIDS is no longer considered the early death sentence that it once was. But unfortunately, due to the increase in MRSA cases, the tide is turning in the black gay community. For black people living with HIV today, MRSA/staph will soon be the #1 killer.

  18. Bunny from Kansas says:

    When God calls you home baby you come home..Who cares if it was Aids, Mersa, the flu why are you ppl saying these things he has family you should show some respect. If not for him then for yourself. God help these Atlanta coons!
