Marion Christopher Barry, son of the late D.C. mayor, has died after a drug overdose, family members told News4s Tom Sherwood.
Sherwood first reported the story on Twitter just before 6 a.m. Sunday. He said Barry had struggled with drug use and ran unsuccessfully for the Ward 8 Council seat in 2015 after his father, former Mayor Marion Barry, died.
Christopher Barry, 36, was the son of Marion and Effi Barry.
Marion Barry was mayor of Washington, D.C., from 1979 to 1991 and 1995 to 1999. He also served on the Council of the District of Columbia for three terms, one as an at-large member and two serving Ward 8.

I remember when he was just a little boy
His mother seemed to try hard to guve him a good life, college education
This is a tragedy that has been unfolding over his lifetime
Another victim of the unrelenting liberal induced ceasefire on the war on drugs
Three cheers for Soros - send more money today all you progressives who think it will never be your kids
“”ran unsuccessfully for the Ward 8 Council seat in 2015””
How does a black lose an election in DC?
My recollection is that Effi stood by Marion through his trial and then left him, moving, possibly to Florida, to get their son away from all the bad influences in D C. I guess it didn’t work. Sad.
Effi always struck me as a class act and a mother who tried her best to raise her son in that DC cesspool created by her husband and his political party
Christopher and Effi are together now - she would not have wanted to see this happen to him

Good Riddance!
A chip off the ol’ crack rock....
[ Destructive generational family patterns + deadly inherited DNA so difficult to break are tools of Darwin. ]
Isn’t it funny how progressives ignore the biological fact when it comes to any “social welfare” programs and actively work against Darwinism to further their social agendas?
Bet bammy goes to the funeral?
Progressives ignore realities or lie about them to push their agendas on us!
They have been doing this since the early 1900’s, and they had the print mediots on puppet strings then.
Acorn <— Tree.
The acorn does not fall far from the tree.
I guess it made the Mod mad.
Oh, that's easy. You lose to someone who's more hip:
Trayon White talks to supporters in Ward 8 the day after a special election that was too close to call.
Excerpt: Barrys son, Marion Christopher Barry, also ran for his fathers vacant seat. But White convinced more voters that he is the one who can keep the legacy alive. The younger Barry finished the race in a distant sixth place.
One person can carry his DNA, and another person carries his spirit, White said. Its a big difference.
He was a chimp off the old block
Don’t diss Soul Brother #1.
Sad. RIP.
