Katarius C.

Katarius was a graduate of Hazelwood High School (11th State Championship), class of 2002. He loved them dearly. He went on to attend North East Mississippi College. He was employed at OCI Alabama, LLC.

His love for his friends and family was like none other. If you ask his friends, they all probably have a story to tell about Katarius, AKA “Pig.”  Katarius’ true passion was coaching kids in football; we all know he loved the kids.
