Thank you so much It is so nice to know how much Damian is loved He was such a loving person Thank You Rebecca for the great friendship you had with Damian he will always be ur Guardian Angel too love Denise

Denise, As it is now coming up on the 5th year, Damian is always remembered. There is not 1 day passing by that Rebecca doesn't mourn for her ROTC Squad Leader. Everytime we're in Walmart, and she sees his picture, she cries and says she misses him. She loved her friend and always will remember him. Noelle Smith, mother of Rebecca McDonald OHS class of 2005

I was in Damian's unit and we were deployed together when the tragic event occured. I got the chills when I saw this website. Im not sure how many of you knew Damian but he was a great man! Always the life of the party, if you wanted to have a good laugh all you had to do was go knock on his door. He had no fear in anything he did (especially driving his mustang haha)and a great leader to so many. Thank you to all who show your support to the Garza family.

To the family of Pfc. Damian J. Garza:
Damian gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Damian, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Damian,

Thank you for sharing your life with us. Just knowing you has made us all so much better. You are our hero. We love you and miss you very much...

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Denise, Jaime, Jamie, and Justin,

I have been thinking about you so much and continuing to keep you in my prayers. It hit home again last week when we lost yet another New Mexico soldier from Clovis. He had only been at my home a month earlier when I gave him a blessing on his forehead and asked God to keep him safe. A few short weeks later we were mourning his death as well. Damian and J.R. Segura will be fast friends as they were very much alike with wonderful family values. God bless you all. We will see you next time you are in Clovis. Love, Miranda and Victoria

Remembering Pfc. Damian J. Garza, on the anniversary of the day he gave his Life for our country. With a Multitude of Thanks for his service and dedication.

Rest well and know that you will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

May God's Grace and comfort, continue to be with the Garza

family.

May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. Damian, my heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. It is coming up on 7 months since you were taken. You are a hero and you will never be forgotten.

To Damians Family - I am so sorry for your loss. Damian was a great person. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Damian will be greatly missed!!!!

To Damian's Family & Friends,

Jaime and Denise, you guys are the best parents anyone could ask for and Damian *always* told people that. If there was anything that Damian made very clear to people he met..it was that he loved his family very dearly. It's going be very hard *no doubt about that* but I know you guys will make it through. Remember all the memories you have with him.

You guys are in my prayers!!!

To all of Damian's Friends, he loved you guys very much too. I had a chance to meet you all and I know he wouldn't want any of you guys to be sad.

I love you guys and your all in my prayers.

I will continue to keep in touch with you guys.

~*Stephanie*~

We Love You Damian! We will always keep you in our hearts. *Baby Garza*

ilove you.

To Damien's family, I wish you peace and comfort in the days to come. I can only surmise from what I've heard, that Damien must have been a nobel person. My greatest regret is that I did not have the opportunity to get to know him personally. I can only imagine what a brave and beautiful person he was. May God keep you, his family, forever close.

To the whole Garza family,i am so sorry for your loss.You know that he loves you unconditionly and appericiates everything! I know that Damian was happy to fight for his country, that's all he ever talked about.He was/is hands down an all around AMAZING guy and everyone that he came in contact with him will say the same! It didn't matter what mood you were in, when you seen Damian's huge smile with those cute little dimples and loving eyes you just start to feel a huge smile coming over your face automatically, he had that big of an effect. Almost the same smile comes over my face when I hear a Creed song.

To the Garz family,



I am a mother of a ranger who is

also from Ft. Benning. I am so sad that you have lost your beautiful young son. He is a guardian angel now and I know you are very proud of him. I will always be grateful for his service for our country.



May your family find peace in this difficult time.



From a ranger mom.

To the Garza family,

May God Bless Damian and his family, he will be in our hearts forever. I still can't believe that he is really gone! I remember when we were living in Borger, whenever Damian would stay over all the time with me. We would stay up until 4 or 5a.m. playing video games. It was fun, especially when my dad would come out in his tantaruns and tell us to go to sleep. Anyways, Damian i love you man. May God Bless You and you will always be remembered in this family, as a matter of fact i'm naming my son after Damian. He will be due on Dec.27, hey maybe he'll be born the same day that Damian was born.(Dec 31) Damian Levi Lujan is what me and my wife have picked out unless it changes anytime soon but for sure it will be Damian. Justin i noticed the other day that your looking exactly like your big brother. Watch out for all the ladies chasing you. Jamie, with you and your family, i can't wait to have my lil boy. Denise, I know Damian is really proud of you for being so strong. Jaime, i know Damian always looked up to you. Especially the fact that you can almost fix almost anything, that's why everybody would call you Magyver(however you spell it)and also you going through your back pains. He always know you were tough. Just always remember that he will be looking down and taking care of yall. Just like he did in Afganistan, he protected all of us, our country, his family, and his friends. We are all very proud of Damian. Once again, May God Bless Damian and the Garza family. Always remember that I love yall.

TO DAMIAN AND THE GARZA FAMILY:

MY HOPES AND PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU...DAMIAN WAS ONE OF THE BEST FRIENDS THAT I EVER HAD.EVERYTIME THAT I FELT THE LEAST BIT SAD,DAMIAN WAS ALWAYS THERE TO CHEER ME UP WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE OF HIS.I REMEMBER THAT HE LOVED DOING HIS ACE VENTURA IMPRESSION,THAT ALWAYS MADE ME LAUGH NO MATTER HOW SAD I WAS.HE WAS A BEST FRIEND TO ALL OF HIS FREINDS AND FAMILY,JUST BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T HELP BUT LOVE DAMIAN.

Damian,

It's been just over one month that you were taken away and I finally am able to get myself together to view your guest book. You were such a joy to us, you always made us laugh and even now when I think of you I cry and smile at the same time. There are so many great memories that I have in my heart, yet so much pain from losing you..I am so very proud of you. You accomplished so much in very little time-you truly are a Hero because you lived your life doing what was right even when no one was looking. You were brave and fought for what you believed in--that has made you a Legend. You are a true American Hero. I miss you and I love you very much..love,

ME (Rosalinda Hollars)



To Jaime and Denise, I want to thank you for being such great parents, not just to Damian but to Justin and Jamie as well. You guys had such a big part in raising such an awesome young man. God Bless you guys for everything that you have done for your children and for our families. I love you guys very much.

Your Sister,

TO THE GARZA FAMILY FROM LUIS Y LALA DELGADO. WE LIVED IN CLOVIS, NEW MEXICO FROM 1972-1985. THE FOLKS FROM CLOVIS ALWAYS MADE US FEEL AT HOME. WE LEARNED TO LOVE NEW MEXICO AS MUCH AS EL PASO, TEXAS. WE DID NOT KNOW YOUR SON DAMIAN J. GARZA. WE DO FEEL YOUR SORROW AS WE ALSO LOST A DAUGHTER AT THE AGE OF 28. THE PARENTS FEEL THE GREAT LOSS FOREVER. IT DOES NOT GET BETTER WITH TIME BUT THERE IS A RELIEF THAT THE "BIG GUY" IS WATCHING OVER DAMIAN IN HIS KINGDOM. MAY YOUR GOOD MEMORIES OF DAMIAN CONTINUE TO FLOURISH IN YOUR HEARTS AND REMEMBER HIM AS THE SON HE WAS.



OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO ALL OF YOU FEELING THE LOSS.

I knew of Pvt. John Henderson who was also lost in this tragedy. I want to say to the Garza family that it takes a special kind of person and family to do what Damian did. Rangers Lead the Way!

To the Garza Family.

For the loss you continue to feel, there is nothing we can do to ease the pain but to say you are constantly in our prayers and in our thoughts. We want to personally thank you for teaching your son to have courage, strength and determination, to make his own decisions and supporting him in the quest to keeping and continuing to give us the freedoms wich are afforded us in this great country! We want to thank you, the service men and women and all the other familys that have given up so much so that the rest of us can have what we have. Damian was your baby and you have always spoke so proudly of him. Our hearts break for you Primos, y siempre estan en nuestros corazones.

We love you.



Leonard and Lori

TO: The Garza Family


Everything we call a trial, a sorrow, or a duty, believe me, that an angel's hand is there.

May you see the angel's hands at work in your life!

God may be invisible, but He's in touch.
You may not be able to see Him,
but He is in control
That includes all of life___past,present,future.


My prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Damian,

You were very inspirational and a sweet guy. I was lucky to have met you and get to know you. You excepted everyone and gave them a chance even me. You could make people smile no matter how down they were, your smile was so contagious. You could truly light up a room. You will be truly missed by everyone. To the garza family I am truly sorry, your son was a great person and a great hero! You will always be remembered Damian in our hearts.

Still finding it hard to believe that Damian is gone. I cannot find the words to express the pain that Denise and Jaime, as parents must be feeling. I want you to know Jaime and Denise, that I love all of you, and I am praying for strength to get you through this pain. I know it's hard. Damian must be proud of you as parents, as you are of him. He is a true hero. God Bless you and your family.

From one greiveing family to another, God Bless You, our prayers are with you daily.

Our prayers are with you and your family.

My daughter met Damian this summer. They immediately became really good friends. She was able to spend time with him just before he left and spoke with him from Afghanistan. I only spoke with him twice, but he was a nice young man. He was definitely proud to be a soldier. My thoughts and prayers are with the Garza family. Just know that although he was from Texas that he touched the lives of people everywhere.

I am also in the army and also from Odessa. I graduated from Zion and left in Apr 04, just like Damian. I want to tell his family to not be sad. A soldier's worst fear is thinking about his families tears after he died for what he beleived in. Just always remember and honor Damian. God Bless

To Mr. & Mrs. Garza, I did not know your son and I barely remember the both of you, I am Linda's friend for many years. It breaks my heart that you have suffered this loss. You and your families are in my prayers and May God Bless your family and watch over you in this time of need.

Dear Garza family,



I'm so sorry for the loss of your son and brother Damian. There's no doubt in my mind that anyone who knew him was honored to have him in our life. I only regret that I didnt keep in touch with him as we grew older. He served his country with honor and courage, and he will forever be in hearts and prayers.

Damian his name alone will always stand for greatness. I am lucky and proud to be a part of his family.You will never be forgotten. We will keep you in our hearts forever. Love you Denise, Jaime justin, and Jamie.

Damian, Thank you for your courage. You will always be remembered in our thoughts and prayers. To Auntie Rita, Denise and family may you always find comfort knowing that Damian is in heaven watching over you. We Love You!!

Dear Garza Family,

You don't know me but I knew your son...my boyfriend is an army ranger as well at Benning and Damian would come to florida with him for the weekend. Your son had a smile that would light up a room. I always was excited when he came down with my boyfriend because he knew how to make everyone have a good time. He was a very good friend to my boyfriend and to me. I will continue to pray for your family...God Bless

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Garza family. You are in my thoughts and prayers during your time of sorrow. May you look to God and find some comfort knowing that your son, Damian served his country well and that he was brave and courageous. May you rest in peace Damian.

Jaime and Denise, my heart goes out to you and your family. I wish there was something I could do or say at this time to help take some of the pain away but I know only time will help heal. I have been praying for you and your family. I will keep you in my prayers and my thoughts always. Just remember I still love you all and wish for the best for all of you now and forever.

Love you always,

Monica Romero and girls

I want to send out my deepest sympathy for your family. My family knows the hurt and pain you are going through. My brother Spc. Robert Arsiaga was killed April 4, 2004 in Iraq. This is where they wanted to be, and this is what they wanted to do. I never imagined living my life without my brother, but now I imagine my life saying he is a hero. Your Damian too is a hero. Few people like them make a big impact on human life in such a short time. If they could be here a lifetime, I could only imagine how the world would be. My family thanks you for your sacrifice, and we thank you as well Damian. A quite somber quote we recieved as a condolence,"Rest In Peace Soldier, Your Work Is Done."

Deepest condolances to Mr. and Mrs. Garza. Damian and I were in basic together and I couldn't have asked for a better friend. He was always positive and there when you needed him. He took great pride in being a soldier and was enthusiastic about his future in the military. He was a great American and soldier. Anyone who has served with him will tell you the same. There are few people that have touched my life the way he has. You don't meet people like Damian often, but when they come along they leave a mark. I have lost a brother.

I will never forget you Garza,

Gibson (Det-1 HHC 133rd IN)

Our sincere deepest condolences are extended to the family of another fallen hero from two very grateful Americans. Damian, may you rest in peace.

Damian Garza was a remarkable person! I am so blessed that he was in my life for a few years. I will never forget this smile. I would always turn to him when I needed someone to talk to , and I knew that just talking to him would make everything better. I will never forget how he made me laugh and how he could just brighted everyones day with just his presence. My deepest sympathy to the Garza family.

Damian I will never forget you!

Chicken Noodle Soup FOREVER!

Our prayers are with you and your family.

A proud Ranger family,

Damian, your smile stole our hearts and your caring manner touched all who knew you. We were very proud of you and your demise has broken our hearts. Thanks for crossing the path of our lives. May God embrace you in his arms. No doubt You will now become an angel in your new life. I am certain that you will protect your loved ones from up above. My deepest condolences to your family. I share their grief. Very special thoughts and prayers to your Mom, Dad and your grandma Rita. They adored you.

My heart goes out to Damian's family. No words to express the sorrow of his loss. I remember Damian as a happy little kid when he lived in Clovis. Always smiling. Damian left us, but is in our hearts forever. God Bless him and his family and may God give them the strength to get through this pain. He was a brave little ranger. Thank you for sharing him with us.

i went to school with Damian. He was a good friend of mine. We lost touch after he moved to Odessa, but he was always in my thoughts. The way he could always make you laugh will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Damian was my little cousin, I didn't get a chance to see him before he went into the Army, because I was also deployed. My deepest sympathy goes out to my his Mom & Dad and also to my Aunt, Damian's grandma. She was so proud of him. Always talking about the funny, good side of him and always knew how to make someone smile. He will keep God smiling, but he WILL be missed. May God bless him and give his family the strength to carry on.

I will never forget what a terrific guy he was. He opened his heart to everyone and never judged. Damian was a very caring and loving person and will always be in my heart. I love and miss you babe. We all do.

Our deepest sympathy for your loss. We thank you for what Damian was doing. Know that we are praying for you and that you are not grieving alone. Be well and God Bless. We will continue to pray for those that are still there.

My deepest sympathy to the family on your loss of a true american hero. My heart weeps for you in this your time of sorrow. God Bless your son and all our Rangers.
