Kelli Damon Obituary
Our beloved Kelli Devaughn Harris Damon entered into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on the afternoon of November 6, 2014.
Kelli was 49 years old. She passed away at University Hospital as the result of an automobile accident. She was surrounded by her family and devoted mother attending her at bedside.
Kelli was born in Montgomery, Alabama on December 25, 1964 - the pride and joy and only child of Lloyd Devaughn Harris and Janice (Harris) Waller.
Kelli moved to San Antonio, TX with her mother and Step-father Col. Benjamin E. Waller III at the age of 13. She had a real love for San Antonio and became a true Texas gal.
She attended Randolph High School, excelling in her studies as well as her athletic abilities as a Ro-Hauk cheerleader. She graduated from Roosevelt High School, also excelling in her studies. She participated in the DECCA (work study program) working at Gallagher's Restaurant while going to school. She loved working with the public.
Upon graduation from High School she attended Texas State University and went on to receive her much loved degree in Interior Design from St. Phillips College.
Kelli had a unique flair for design and enjoyed working with her clients who became her friends. She enjoyed bringing forth their style, along with her creative love for design.
She worked with various high-end furniture stores here in San Antonio & also outside of Texas. She owned her own design business known as "Damon Designs".
Kelli's love and unique sense of design was her passion and gift but her most cherished accomplishment in her life was her daughter, Samantha Lloyd Damon.
Her survivors include: (Husband) Casey Randolph Damon (San Antonio, TX), (Daughter) Samantha Lloyd Damon (San Antonio, TX), (Mother) Janice Burrows Harris Waller (San Antonio, TX), (Stepbrother) Benjamin E. Waller IV (Rockwall, TX), as well as many cousins from AL, KY, TN, LA, CA, FL and here in Texas, in addition to aunts and uncles.
She was preceded in death by:
(Father) Lloyd Devaughn Harris, (Montgomery, AL) (Stepfather) Col. (RET.) Benjamin E. Waller III (San Antonio, TX) (Grandparents) Clarence Marvin Burrows (Montgomery, AL) Lula Mae Randall Burrows Hanna (Montgomery, AL) (Grandparents) Clyde A. Harris (Montgomery, AL)
Margaret Lloyd Harris (Montgomery, AL).
Kelli embraced each moment of life to its fullest. She brought love, laughter and a breath of fresh air to all she knew--never met a stranger and a friend to all. Her enthusiasm for life was infectious and will be remembered, cherished and missed. Her quick wit and flashing smile was captivating to all, along with her free spirit. She will live on in our hearts. Kelli is now celebrating her new life with her Lord and rejoicing with all who have gone before her.
Our sweet Kelli will sorely be missed by all.
A Celebration of Kelli's Life
will take place at: Randolph AFB
November 29, 2014 2:00 P.M. Main Chapel #1 Followed by a Reception at the Officers Parr Club.

Dear family and friends of Kelli,

I met Kelli at St. Philips while we were both studying interior design. We became fast friends and stayed in touch after school. We eventually worked together on a project at Tapatio Springs. I remember a time at a mixer. I was in awe as Kelli worked the room. I asked her "how do you do that?" She was modest and said "what?" Many celebrations, births of our children later we had lost touch but recently connected on FB and just a few days before the accident we had begun to make plans for her to visit me in Northern California. I am still in shock and want to offer my condolences to her family and friends. Kelli was a bright light and our lives will be forever dimmed by her passing. Love you, Girl.

I met Kelli at her first day at work at Hemispheres. We were hired within 15 minutes of each other. She was so full of life! I was feeling overwhelmed by all I needed to learn and Kelli was so kind, helpful and encouraging to me. She made an positive impact on me in just a few days. I miss her and believe we could have been good friends. We were all shocked and very saddened to hear about her passing. Deepest sympathies to her family.

I never met Kelli but I was very near her as I drove by the car accident wanting so desperately to help in some way. I said a prayer for her and wondered about her daily. I knew she was a beautiful person and I am so very sorry for the family & their loss. My deepest sympathy to you.

I did not know Kelli very well. I'm sadden by her life being yanked at such an early loss. May God bless her and her loved one and may she rest in peace.

I have worked with Kelli throughout many years. Last time I saw her, a few months ago, she was high on life and singing the praises of God in her life. She will be missed by us all. But I feel certain where she now resides.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
