On October 15, 2015 Damon lost the battle but won the
war. He is now at peace. He no longer feels pain and is enjoying the
rest of his eternity with all the friends and family that went before him.
I miss him. We all
miss him.
I am forever grateful that I was able to spend the last few
months with him and give back some of the love and care he showed to me my
whole life. The outpouring of support
from all the people that touched his life was and continues to be a comfort to
our family.
I have tried to bring to a close all of the things he was
trying to accomplish during the last few weeks of his life. He was at peace with himself, his choices and
his place in the world.
One of his last wishes was to give each and every one final
moment together. A memory of your
friendship to help each of you understand how much you meant to him and to give
you something to hold onto when he was gone.
He was able to do that with many, many people. Unfortunately, time and circumstance didn’t
allow for him to complete that task.
On behalf of my wonderful brother know that he cherished
every moment he had with you. Each
person that touched his life left a lasting impression. He was humbled and honored to have been a
part of your life. Hold on to that
special memory of him and know that it meant the world that you shared yourself
with him.
He was and continues to be my big brother. He bravely stepped forward to lead the
way. In our family he happily went
first, testing the waters for the rest of us.
He made a lot of mistakes and then helped others to avoid the same
pitfalls. He charged headlong into life
with enthusiasm and determination. He
left a wake so wide and so deep that we will forever feel the ripples. Because of the love and acceptance he showed,
I cannot even feel anger at his passing.
Just sadness that such a bright soul had to leave so soon.
On behalf of our family, thank you all for being a part of
his life. Thank you for the outpouring
of love and support. Thank you for showing
us just how much of an impact he had on the world.
We are bereft, but because of his grace we will carry
on.
Angelica Chalmers, Damon’s little sister.
One last request:
If you are reading this, please take a few moments to share
some thoughts or memories of my brother.
If you have pictures sharing them would be wonderful. I plan to put together a bound copy of his
blog along with memories, pictures and stories.
It will be distributed among the family and available to anyone else
that might like a copy. You can post
directly to his blog as a comment on this post, or email directly to me at angchalmers@gmail.com. Thank you.
