I was a camper at Hubbard when Damond was the director. I spent many summers at the camp with Damond and he was one of the most kind and compassionate people I gave ever met. Every morning he would greet me with his bright smile. He truly cared about everybody in the camp. I continue to pray for Adrianna and the kids along with all of his family. You will be dearly missed. You taught me so much and I hope I can carry on the things I learned from you through all those summers.

To Adriana, Thomas, Alejandro, Jacob, and the rest of his family:

I went to school with Damond, and I can honestly I have never met anyone like him. He was a great man, a great person. There was a kindness in him that shined through to everyone who met him. He made an enormous impact on our community, and we miss him greatly. I am so sorry for your loss.
