Damon exemplified excellence from a young age. A proud graduate of Vincennes Lincoln High School in 1996, he not only graduated with honors but also made history as the first All-State golfer from the school, paving the way for future generations. His athletic prowess extended to the football field as a quarterback for Clark Middle School and to the basketball court as a freshman player, showcasing his diverse talents and passion for sports. He also showcased his talents on the baseball field, participating in several Cub League All Star teams and winning the State as a ten-year-old. Damon also enjoyed his time he spent with his brother Blake on the golf course and enjoyed his time with his family attending St. Louis Cardinals games.

Damon further pursued his love for golf at the University of Indianapolis on a scholarship, later continuing his education at the University of Southern Indiana, where he majored in Biology. His intellectual curiosity and dedication to learning were traits that inspired many around him.

Beyond academics and athletics, Damon had a vibrant spirit infused with a love for music and dancing. He was a devoted fan of the Kansas Jayhawks and the Minnesota Vikings, cheering passionately for his teams. His culinary talents shone brightly in the kitchen, where he delighted friends and family with his cooking creations. Above all, Damon’s gentle and kind-hearted nature made him a beloved presence in the lives of those fortunate enough to know him, including his beloved dog, Mia.

Damon’s adventurous heart led him to Florida, where he found true love with Jean Davis. Their journey together was a testament to what love can be-a partnership filled with laughter, joy, and shared dreams.
