DAMIAN MACNEILL Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 28, 2010.

Damian Alexander MacNeill We are all drawn to the light, like a moth to the flame our souls yearn for the peace that only light brings. As one of his parting testaments to the world Damian quoted the song Thula Mtwana "Do Not Cry, Mother Is Absent, Mother Shall Come Back". January 16, 2010 Damian returned home into his loving Mother's arms. Light heals all sadness. Light heals all pain. Damian brought to this earth gifts he gave freely... His gift of humor as he cheered and excited our hearts. His gift of beauty as he shared the music, film, and dance that shaped our lives. His gift of compassion as he reminded us of charity. His gift of empathy as he felt and knew our pain. His proud and eternal family include his mother Michele, and his sisters Rachel, Vanessa, Alexis, Elle, Sabrina and Ada. His friends throughout his life and travels stand in many states and continents all over the world. All of us mourning the loss of one we find with mere words impossible to describe. You would have had to laugh with him, talk with him, dance with him, share with him, weep with him, and love with him to catch the faintest glimpse of the child, the poet, the dreamer, the man. Damian was blessed with a mother who taught him the true meaning of love. The true meaning of life. The truth... Together we will live forever. Funeral services for Damian will be held Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. in the Highland LDS Chapel, 5848 West 11000 North, Highland. Interment will be in the Highland City Cemetery under the direction of Olpin Family Mortuary, Pleasant Grove. Condolences may be sent to www.damianmacneill.com created in loving memory of Damian Alexander MacNeill.

My heart is with you all. There is nothing I can say or do to make this better or easier for you. You're a wonderful, beautiful family. Stay close. BE best friends ALWAYS. I know that you know, that Damien is with your mom. They will surely watch over you, help you, guide you, comfort & protect you & be around you at all times. It won't be that all that long, although at times, it may seem so, that you WILL all be together again. There will be NO pain, no hurt, and no sorrow. I love you Rachel sweetie... your mom & Damien are wonderful & they are making & saving a place... especially for all of you.
Love - Jill

I met Damian only once, but I was deeply affected by him. Deeply affected by what he was able to accomplish and deeply affected by what he left undone. I've known and been close, close friends with his sister, Rachel, for many, many years, and, so, to hear of his death, left me feeling scraped raw. At the funeral, I was laid bare by the juxtaposition of euphoria and emptiness that often make up a life. In essence, I think it forced me to confront my tendency to not truly live my life. What a harsh wake-up call. You helped me feel grateful, again, Damian. I wish you hadn't felt you had to pay such a high price for your own peace.

Damian! I just posted on your website your sister made, but felt I should post something here to (I can't help it, I have so much to say and hope that you can now hear and know my deepest thoughts even if I don't share them all in writing). Today is your birthday and I bet you are celebrating it with your mother! I hope you are finally at peace. To celebrate your birthday we made lots of Japanese food and had cupcake brownies! I wish I had the opportunity to cook Japanese food for you more. I always loved that you truly appreciated my cooking! :) I miss you...we all do. Aishiteru yo!

We would like to express our sympathy to the McNeill family. You probably won't remember us but you lived in our Ward in Blanding when you were children. We were very sad when we learned of your mom's death. We remember her as a lovely, special lady. We are so sorry for all the things you have been dealing with and now your brother's passing. We send our thoughts, prayers and love. Gene and Claudia Orr

I spent some time with him as a missionary in the Hiroshima Japan Mission. He was a great friend. I will miss him. He feels peace now; the peace I know he sought in this life. Rest in peace Damian.

The MacNeills lived next door to us in Orem. We loved their family -
they were wonderful neighbors! Damian would come over and play
with our grandchildren when they would visit and they loved him. He
had a gift for connecting with others. He genuinely enjoyed being with them and they knew it. He really listened to them and connected in
a way most older people can't. He was empathetic and kind. He would babysit them when we needed a sitter. Damian definitely had
charity and was so compassionate and kind. He had a lot of the gifts Michelle, his mother, had....."a chip off the oldeblock." Our hearts are
filled with sorrow because we know you will miss him so much, but
he will be with the mother he loved so much and together they will
help you from the other side.
We love you!
Love, Bill and Roceil Low

On Sunday January 31st Damian would be turning 25 years old. Instead of a birthday party we will lay him to rest on Saturday January 30th. I promise you Damian, we will celebrate your life on Sunday and everyday thereafter. You have meant so much to me. You are my baby brother. My only brother. I am so happy that we were able to grow so close in the last few years. When I heard about your death, something inside of me died. But a place in my heart also grew. It is where I will keep you. The memory of you...my Unconditional Love for you will always remain in that place. Peace has finally found you Dami. I was blessed to have you for almost 25 years in my life. I am selfish and just like Mommy, I wanted to keep you for longer. It was not enough time. But your memory will never fade. I will continue to hold you above my head. I will tell everyone that I meet about my beautiful brother. You will never be forgotten. I wish that I could have spoken to you at least one more time. I want you to know that I Love You. I didn't tell you close to enough times when I had the chance. For that I am so sorry. You mean the world to me. I am so very proud to be your sister. I have always been so proud. Please Dami Son, take care of Mommy. And allow her to take care of you. I know that you felt alone here in this mortal existence but you were never alone and I am happy knowing that you can see that now. You can feel it now and you will never have to feel alone again. Help me to make it through this Damian. Help me to feel the peace that you exist in now. It is so hard for me to have to wait till I can be with you and Mommy again but I promise that I will be strong. Please help me in my times of darkness. I need you now just as I need you when you were still here. You told me right before you died that I would always be so beautiful. It made me feel so good but the truth is that it is what I should have told you. Damian, you will always be so beautiful. Always. I Love You. Rest in Peace My beautiful Brother. Rest in Peace.
