An avid duck hunter, Damon's friends and family knew where to find him from October to January each year.

Whether he called for the woodies, mallards, geese, or others, Damon would always come home with a bag. Damon worked as a plumber for Travis Creech Plumbing. In his spare time he would enjoy doing most anything as long as he was outside. Damon had a natural affinity for the outdoors and never missed the chance to be there. He was a Zaxby's fanatic and always had a taste for their "Indescribably Good" chicken. With a golden heart, Damon was a friend to all. There was nothing he wouldn't do to help someone in need. His friends and family were his priority and he was thrilled over the prospect of earning the title "Dad" in January. The family will receive friends on Thursday, October 12, 2023 from 5:30 - 7:00 p. m. at Kenly Funeral Service followed by a service to celebrate Damon's life at 7:00 p. m. in the chapel with Rev.
