For the last three years has been working as an independent consultant for Norstar Operation, LLC. Damien has enjoyed life and has had many memorable times with friends and family, however, he has struggled with depression for the last ten years and has had even more severe symptoms this past year.

Damien lost his courageous battle with depression last week. We are here to celebrate his life and cherish his memory. Damien has an illness with severe depression. He was been on medication for this for several months.

There are lots of severe side effects including nausea and vomiting and extreme rage episodes. Damien has been in counseling and the doctors have changed his medications several times to deal with the depression and minimize the problems.

This may not explain everything but just know, we understood the problems, it wasn’t fun for him or us. But, and this is big; we loved him through it all! We still love him. No matter what things may look like, Damien loved us all, especially Andrea and Deaven.
