Dameon's Gift of Life




April is National Organ Donation Month and we are remembering our little boy Dameon who passed away at the age of 5. He was killed in a car crash on January 18th, 2006. We think of him every day and remember what an amazing and spunky person he was. Dameon's kidneys were donated to an amazing person who we have been blessed to be able to meet and grow to love. His donation changed her life. The Marietta Daily Journal wrote an article about our story recently.

Sometimes I still tear up when I say Dameon's name, but time has helped me heal. He will always be missed, but I chuckle to think of the way my Dad is watching over him in the spirit world. He really made Daddy crazy...

Take a moment to contemplate your organ donation status. I have become a donor myself the more educated that I have become on the subject. People die every day on the list waiting for organs. These people could be saved and contribute to our world like Dameon's recipient has.
