Damien was an incredible son, father, brother, and an extraordinary grandfather. He was full of laughter and carried a joyful spirit that lit up every room. His family was his top priority. He devoted himself fully to those he loved. His grandchildren were his second heartbeat, inspiring him every day to keep going and make each moment count.

He had a passion for old-school automobiles, rims, and loved to have some loud beats in his truck.

Those left to cherish his memory include:

His wife, Lashunda Bateman; his daughters DaNaja and Daisha Howard; his son's Jatovia Hill, Da’Quez Howard, and Dae’Marcus Robinson; and his granddaughters Laniyah Baker, Dae’Lani Bateman, Dae’Monii Howard, Kamiylah Howard, and Dae’Lynn Bateman; his father, Archie Howard Sr.; his siblings Jessie (John) Jackson, Victoria Bailey, James (Teresa) Bailey, Dennis Bailey Sr., Archie (Carolyn) Roger Jr., Rhonda Rogers, Joseph Rogers, Kizzy Rogers, Teneka Hayes, Quinton Howard, Shavanity Howard, Angelique Abbey-Lewis, Arthur (Erica) Abbey, Felicia French, Tamara French, Archieona French, Archie (Lamont) Butler, and Tonya Mosley.

Damien is preceded in death by his mother, Victoria Jones; his sons Damien Howard Jr. and Dane Howard; and siblings Teresa Bailey, Hano Bailey, Damien French, and Dane Howard.

Damien leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and devotion—one that will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
