Daniel Phillip Damask

Daniel Damask Obituary

Damask, Daniel Phillip Daniel, age 27, of Oconomowoc, passed Monday, June 5, 2006. Beloved husband of Michelle. Dear father of August James. Dear son of Gail J. Damask of Waukesha. Brother of Dawn M. Damask of West Allis; Ann M. (Kevin) Jordan of Janesville; Joanne C. (Trent) Tinder of Beloit; Ryan J. (Naomi) Damask of Chicago; Gregory J. Damask of Pewaukee; Monica M. Damask of Minneapolis; and Joan and Dan Lajsic (Godparents). Further survived by: son-in-law, Mark (Sonia) Feldtkeller of Sedona AZ; Daniel and Eileen Graves of Sullivan; grandson-in-law, Robert and Elaine Hanley of New Berlin; brother-in-law, Nicole Feldtkeller of Oconomowoc; Tony Feldtkeller of Milwaukee; J.J. Feldtkeller of Sullivan; Anna Graves of Sullivan, Elijah Graves of Sullivan; nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends. Daniel was preceded in death by father Durand J. Damask.

As a proud husband and father, Daniel selflessly put the needs of his family first, working hard in the skilled trade of construction to provide the essentials for his family. As a son and brother, Daniel taught many of us how to live life to the fullest; whether it was enjoying the outdoors or putting others before himself. Where others couldn't contribute, Daniel sought out ways to make things happen.

As a loyal friend, Daniel always supported and cherished his friends greatly. He was always the stepping stone and never judged a person based upon one's actions; always finding the goodness in every person. You could never ask for a truer friend than Daniel.

Despite Daniel's quiet and gentle demeanor, he found ways to move mountains and inspire others. He had the ability to connect with everyone either with his contagious laughter or his brilliant smile; his presence was always known. You will be greatly missed by all who you've touched our dear Daniel, you gentle soul. We love you and miss you. Watch over us Oh Danny Boy!

Visitation for family and friends is at St. Anthony's on the Lake W280 N2101 Highway SS, Pewaukee, Wisconsin from 8-10:00 AM.

Michelle, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My prayers are with you and Gus. Dan will always be with you and Gus no matter where you are or where life takes you. Remember your faith.

The last time I saw you was at the Next Bar, surrounded by some of my other big brothers. You were smiling and I remember how good you made me feel. Like I was home. There was nothing better than seeing you boys together, seeing that friendship and being amazed at all the love that surrounded it. Now one of my big brothers is gone and I will miss you for always. All my love.

To the Damask and Feldkeller family: you are in my thoughts and prayers. I go to school with Michelle and Nicole and can't imagine the pain that the family is going through. My heart goes out to Gus, who will not get to grow up with his loving father, but can know that his father is watching him from above. Michelle, if you need anything, you know how to reach me.

To my honorary big brother...

There is so much I could say and so many memories I could write, but the one memory that stands out in my head is when I lived on Road J and I told you I was dating your sister and you chased me around the house. You were always someone that I looked up to! When everyone says you had a contagious smile and laugh I can hear your laugh and see your smile. It is sad that god had to call you home - you were such a wonderful person and had so much to live for. You will be deeply missed.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. I had the pleasure of working and traveling with Dan for a short period of time while he was employed by our company. He truly had a great personality and he will be missed by all of us that worked with him.

Dear Daniel, I miss you so much. The tears will not stop, and the ache in my heart continues. How many times can a heart be broken? I will never forget the times we've shared and been through as a family. Enjoy fishing with Dad.

My most heartfelt sympathy to Dan's family and friends. I worked with Dan a few years ago at Acoustical Floors of Wisc. I have always regarded Dan as one of the most pleasant and courteous people that I have met. Truly a joy to work with. His family should be very proud to have raised such a fine young man such as Dan.

Dan had a remarkable ability to keep things in perspective and put them in their proper place. He ALWAYS made people feel better about themselves and he didn't have to try. I'll never forget how sensational an athlete he was. But on top of that, it's a testimate to his parents and his character that he never felt obligated to tell people about it.

My deepest sympathies to family and friends,

Dear Damask Family,

My heart aches for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. What stands out most when I think of Dan is his genuine "warmth and shining smile." I have fond memories of Dan, as he spent many hours at our house with my son Andy "hanging" out with high school friends, water skiing and tubing on the lake. He was always smiling......I pray that God will comfort you in your pain, and all of Dan's friends. He had so many good Friends.....because he was a a good Friend to so many. With Deepest Sympathy.

Most Sincerely,

Deb Voelker

Danny - You are so loved by many and will be greatly missed. There are many memories that will not be forgotten, but will be told for years to come. You were a brother that was always always so kind to me. (except when I wore your tennies!) I love you very much and we shall meet again, Danny Boy!

Love your baby sister,

Hi Dan...I know the ache in heart heart may fade in time, but the depth of how much I miss you will not. I will always think back to the happy times we spent together as family on summer vacation or golfing or cooking out. Recent memories will forever be etched in my mind: the proud look in your eyes as you came home to your son August after I babysat; the little "jig" you did to make August laugh; and how I looked in your eyes and told you I loved you as I said goodbye that night. I will always adore you and miss you...your sister, Ann.

I love you, my Danny, and will miss you forever until we are reunited in Heaven. You are the best son a mother could ask for.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy with the Damask family. I went to grade school with Dan. I have only the happiest memories of him.

My best friend also passed away in a fire almost 3 years ago. Words cannot and will never express the emptiness you feel at a time like this. I will keep Dan and the entire Damask family in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.
