Meet Morgan Turner and Martha Ryans
DeMeco Montrez Ryans was born on July 28, 1984, in Bessemer, Alabama. He is the son of Morgan Turner and Martha Ryans who raised him and his older brothers Travis and Lodist as single parents. In addition to his brothers, DeMeco has one older sister Serena, 51.
Miss Martha born Martha Louise Ryans on November 22, 1949, worked hard and dangerous jobs for more than 12 years in order to support her children, from a nursing home and a plastic plant to cleaning the church on Saturdays to making car parts at Southern Ductile Casting Corp. where she nearly lost a finger in 2000.
Morgan Turner, his father wasn’t around much, but he helped with their sons from time to time; Miss Martha said DeMeco got his smartness from his dad, after graduating from Alabama with honors a semester earlier.
