Age shall not weary them, nor the years condem,
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them."

Damien is one of the eldest 1st cousins .
I Am forever greatful to have spent time with Damien and all ( his brothers n sister) plus my other cousins as free spirited children in our youth. Family mattered - we did not discriminate or no such things in these times - born from a level of inclusivity I guess . Whether by blood or by neighbours , community was a valid thing in our day we were always one. Very fond memories shared way back in our youth and then again a few years ago on Sunshine Coast where we had super time.
More recently , we had 1 on 1 drive times around the Warrnambool region late November 2025 and a chance at giggling plus family catch-up times.
Damien was very strong and brave and as a result he held on with courage.
He was pure of heart n devotion .
Sending prayers to all family at this time
Sincerely, cuz SusanFebruary 11, 2026 9:26 pm
Dear Melinda and family. Sending you our loving condolences and praying for you at this sad time. We only knew Damo for a few years but in that time he became a dear friend. The times we shared together will be treasured up in our hearts. So sorry that we can't be there on Friday but will be with you in spirit. With love, Carol and Reinier.
