Richard Allen Damon, 83, formerly of Rockland, passed away peacefully, on June 30, 2025, after a long battle with multiple health complications.
He was raised in Rockland, the son of the late Lillian and Lawrence Damon. Husband of the late Patricia Damon. Richard is survived by his three children, Kaitlynn and her husband Matthew Muzrall of Cumberland, RI, Andrew and his wife Sarah Damon of Stamford CT, and Rebecca Damon of Medford, MA. He leaves behind five grandchildren Aiden, Myles, Riley, Fionnuala, and Althea.
Richard enjoyed watching his children grow up in his hometown and always loved a baseball, basketball, or softball game.
