Damon Mark Torregrossa

Raised in Arlington, Virginia, Damon grew up in a close-knit family long tied to the local community through his parents’ business, Sam Torrey Shoe Repair. He later settled in Fairfax, Virginia, where he built his life and spent many fulfilling years.

A proud veteran, Damon served honorably in the United States Army in the early 1970s, achieving the rank of Specialist 5 (SP5). During his service, he was stationed overseas in both Korea and Germany as a skilled Radar Mechanic. For his dedicated service, marksmanship, and overseas deployments, he was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, and the Sharpshooter Qualification Badge for the M-14 rifle. Following his military service, he enjoyed a successful career as a local realtor prior to his retirement.

Guided by a deep generosity of spirit and love for family, Damon also served as a foster parent, opening his heart and home to adopt his daughter and son.

Damon was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Nancy Torregrossa; his parents, Sam and Florence Torregrossa; and his brother, Gerald "Jerry" Torregrossa.

He is survived by his devoted children, Scholastica Torregrossa Beer (Johnathan) and Damien Torregrossa; his cherished grandchildren, Emmett, Lorelai, and Vivian; his loving sister, Toni Kenyon; as well as his nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and extended family.

A service to honor and celebrate Damon’s life will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 1:00 PM at Fairfax Memorial Cemetery.
