I remember Damon from back in the 70s. Even then he was kind and went out of his way to give help me once. Great man and great family. Prayers for all. I know he will be greatly missed by all who knew him I am sure.

My heart is trying to leap out of my chest as my mind screams NO! I am so sorry for the loss of such a good man. Damon and I haven't seen each other in years. I always felt he was my one that got away. Never left my thoughts. I recently moved back home after leaving 40 years ago and had moved to Reno with Damon. He straightened me out, got me off drugs and probably saved my life. My mother is why I moved back home. She lives in Lampasas now. I go every week on my days off to see her. ...
