“The phone call”
I called Damo on Wednesday evening before his passing. It was very random and for unknown reason his name popped into my mind and I had to make that call. As I was driving home from work I called him. He didn’t answer and I didn’t leave a message. About 10 minutes later, D called me back.  I already parked in front of my house but I sat in my truck and talked to D. After a little mutual greeting I asked him if he thought he did something wrong because Uncle Mikey was calling him?  I’m sure he felt like he was in trouble for not sharing with Nathan again.He laughed and said “no” that he was at work and just went on his lunch break. I explained that I knew his birthday had just passed and I hadn’t talked or seen him in a while, but something told me to call him today, so I did. We talked about his birthday, the king crab and shrimp that he ate. How full he got from all that food and how he couldn’t eat anymore due to being so stuffed. We talked about his work (UPS) and how he has gained seniority after being there for 5 years and now he wanted to be promoted to a driver. I asked about Alee, we talked about his new house and how he was trying to get rid of the spiders in his backyard because he was scarred of them. We told each other that we loved each other and I wished him a happy birthday. I told him to go back to work and I didn’t want to take up all of his lunch break.  We ended our conversation and I got out of my truck and went inside my house. Earlier, I mentioned that my call to D was random that day.  I know now, that it was anything but random, it was the man upstairs telling me that Damo wanted to say goodbye to Uncle Mikey! You are gone D, but you will never be forgotten! We will always love you Damien! 
Love Uncle Mikey

On behalf of the Lopez family, I would like to thank everyone for joining us here today as we celebrate the life of Damo.   My name is Mikey Lopez, I am Damien’s uncle and the sole brother to Tiffany.  When Damien was born, I can remember being the overly protective brother and upset that my little sister was going to be a young mother. From birth, I helped raised Damo like my own.  He was my ringer bearer at my wedding! On most cases, Lydia and I would take D with us on all our family outings. Eventually Lydia and I had gave birth to our first born Nathan; Damo’s little cousin and his new best friend. Not going to lie, Damo did not like to share, and Nathan would protect his cousin for the fear of “Uncle Mikey” finding out and having a talk with Damo! Lydia would normal fix that problem by just buying two of everything for each kiddo had their own!Damo was blessed! Damo was raised in my parents house (Grandpa Michael & Grandma Michele). As a perk, D never had a shortage of food, because somebody was always cooking in that home. And D could eat, he loved food! Damo loved camping, Damo loved fishing, Damo loved playing video games, Damo loved his family. 

I met you through your  grandmother at Silent Valley when you were about 12 years old.  I would see you every summer until you grew up to be a young man. My connection with you was, when you would come knocking at my door and asking if you could borrow my Wi-Fi or if I had anything good to eat. And so I gave you my password. I could always tell when you were within the vicinity of my trailer because your name would connect to my phone, informing me, you were using my Wi-Fi. And then there were times when these unfamiliar names would connect to my phone. So I would step out of the trailer to try and find out who was using my Wi-Fi, and sure enough there were a couple unfamiliar teenage kids sitting on my picnic table. And I would ask, who are you. Lol 😂😂...Well they would tell me they were using my Wi-Fi....I didn't even have to ask them, who gave them my password. "Darn that Damo" 😂😂😂.. I told you not to give out my Wi-Fi password...lol. I would always laugh and shake my head as I walked away. Sometimes it felt like all of Silent Valley had my Wi-Fi password or at least maybe just all teenagers had the password...lol... you were Silent Valleys Jock, SVs very own social butterfly. There were times when I would have five unfamiliar people connecting to my phone, I had no clue who they were. So I would change my password. And I knew sometime after I change my password, Damo would come knocking at my door.... And guess what Damo wanted, my "NEW"password ... I'm sure going to miss you knocking on my door with that big smile trying to smoooooth talk me into letting you have my password for my Wi-Fi... Rest in peace Damo, I hope God gives you his password, so you can check your Facebook account... 😥😥

Dear Lopez Villa Family,

My son and Damien worked at UPS together.  My son (Elijah knight) took it very hard when he heard that Damien had passed. He was use to seeing him 5 days a week so it was hard for him to work without him.  I would see them walk out of work together since I am also a upsers and he always had a huge smile on his face. He will be greatly missed by the UPS family and all the friends he made while working there.  Our deepest condolences and prayers for all of Damien's loved ones.🙏

The Knight Family

Damo , with a sad heart for those you left behind Mijo   You'll always be in our hearts ,love Aunt Suzie 

Damien was one of the happiest people I’ve ever know. Whenever he was around he’d make everyone laugh. He’d always make me smile when I was down and he honestly made my life so much better. Life won’t be the same without him. My heart breaks knowing he’s gone and I wish I could talk to him one more time. I’ll love him and hold him in my heart for ever. Until we meet again🤍🙏🏽


Thank you for being like a big brother to me never forget all the times you were always there for me and always went to bat for me through thick and thin we will miss you dameo fly high 

Such a happy soul. You always had a smile on your face and brought one to every one around you with your silly jokes and stories.  Thank you for being such a great friend and making my childhood summers so memorable. 

I only knew you as a baby. Every now and then I would go to the nursery at school with your mom to check on you. I remember thinking you were the cutest baby. And the one thing I do remember is your amazing smile. Praying for the Lopez family 🙏🏽

I still don’t want to believe your really gone.. 💔 We grew up running around Silent Valley together summer after summer since 2014. We got baptized in the silent valley pool together.  So many late nights you would just pop up at my camp site and hang out with me and my dog😂  We used to sit on the brick wall and look at the Stars and have the best talks about life and what kind of cars we wanted what jobs we wanted… Man this isn’t fair you wanted to accomplish so many things.. I’ll never ever forget you or let this world forget about you.. Thank you for being one of the best friends I had growing up… love you D❤️ 
Rest Easy Damo🕊✨

Damien was my cousin, but I loved him like a brother. He was one of my best friends and losing him has been tough. I bought a gaming PC because he had convinced me to do so, and he was with me when I bought everything. Every game I own is because he told me to buy it just so we could play together. He was always there for me anytime I needed to talk to anyone and he would answer the phone regardless of where he was or who he was with. He'd give me crap anytime I was too busy to make it to a family event and always push me to be present with the family. He wasn't like this with just me, he was like this with everyone he knew. He loved his friends, his family, and his dog and he would do anything for them. I introduced him to every one of my friend groups and every one of my friends loved him. He will always be my first mate. My nakama. Your ship has set sail without me and I am left singing bink's sake by myself. This duet is down to a solo, but we will meet again, and I'll fill you in on what you missed. I love you Damo.

I didn’t want to believe it was the Damien that I was so close to growing up but after enough digging , i found out it was. 

You will always be a part  of me, I was part of a broken home and I didn’t have much , but that didn’t stop Damien from taking me everywhere he went including church. 

 he used to let me borrow clothes when I didn’t have any and he was actually the first person to teach me how to drive, I remember when he took me drifting in the parking lot and let me give it a go, I had some of the funnest times in my life with you buddy.



His family never once made me feel like an outcast, whenever I was with them my problems at home would disappear.

Damien your memory and the effect you had on my life will forever live on , you gave me hope when all was lost. 

I’m gonna miss the jokes he used to make on Xbox when we would play zombies and most of all I’m gonna miss his big ass smile. 

you don’t deserve this, rest up KING DAMIEN. 

I’m smoking this blunt for you 🙏

My condolences to the family, I was very fortunate to have known Damien, he was one of the funniest people I knew, in class we would make fun of each other in a friendly way and we would always talk about what we were interested in, like music, anime, cars, etc. He always knew how to make someone smile and crack up and I will forever cherish the little moments we had. 
Rest In Peace brotha, until we meet again 🕊


My condolences Lopez Villa family 

We worked together at UPS. Shared many laughs together!  He was such a sweet kid even when he was annoyed when I'd bring him more work! ALWAYS smiling!  ALWAYS!  Damien may you rest in peace pd3 will not be the same without you!

Damien was one of the best friends to have around at any get-together or event. He’d never fail to lighten up the room and was able to easily get along with anyone he’s never met before. We all loved Damien and hanging out won’t feel the same without him. 

We met Damien through Robert. 
So many times we played online, watched anime, and movies together. He would leave his computer on, leave to work, and then come back while still connected in the call.

May he rest in peace and my sincerest condolences to the family.

Thank you Damien for all the memories. 

Set sail Nakama,
-Fernando Sanchez

Dear Lopez Villa Family,  
Mother of Damien … 
First of all , My sincere condolences  . 
My name is Corinna Enriquez 
My son Pablo and Damien were good friends. 
We were  very fortunate to have known Damien. He , Pablo and other friends were usually  here at our home to share the milestones we celebrated here for Pablo or just family gatherings. He was all smiles ,  amazing hair,  always polite , handsome kid.  We enjoyed having him around . Pablo told me that these last few months they weren’t as close ( due to work, school)  but still managed to have connection through social media & texting he was the type of friend that they could go days without talking ,  Yet,  they’d always picked up where they left off .  When they’d hang out here it was all laughs, video games , and both had same music in common. 
We are truly sorry for your loss,  wishing we can heal the pain . Sending love , strength ,  prayers to find comfort in coming days . Forever in our hearts - RIP Damien aka “ Skirf” ❤️

Sincerely , 
The Enriquez Family
