Desmond T. Peterson, affectionately known as "Cago", was born February 8, 1991, in Chicago, Illinois, to Ava Nadine Street Pollard and Roosevelt Peterson.  Desmond was a native of Cowarts, Alabama; where he was a graduate of Ashford High School.

Desmond was many things: a son, brother, cousin, uncle, nephew, and confidant to so many.  He is loved by many, from his family, extended family, friends, co-workers, competitors and even people he met online.  He was a true Georgia Bulldogs fan, but he loved nothing more than his mother; "Ma Dukes" as he called her.  He had so many hobbies, including: amateur mix martial art (MMA), video games, watching college and NFL games, and cooking.  He worked with Industrial Metal Works (IMW) and at the Broadway Cafe.

Desmond made his transition on September 9, 2021.
