Damon was born Dec. 18, 1919, in Arkansas, and he migrated to California in 1942. He was a civilian truck driver for the U.S. Air Force during World War II. After the war he became a plumber and worked on new home construction in the 1950’s in Southern California. Upon retirement in 1974, he moved to Whidbey Island, where he drove a school bus for Oak Harbor School District.

He enjoyed life on Whidbey Island and seldom ventured from home. His last days were spent at the Whidbey Island Home Place.

Damon, as a father and friend, will be sorely missed by his family and friends on Whidbey Island.
