BLUE HILL
Brian Todd Damon’s long battle ended suddenly at his home in Blue Hill on Tuesday, June 12.
Born Dec. 15, 1963, the son of Vincent and Carol Damon of Brooklin, Brian was that smiling gentle giant that everyone saw often around town in the Blue Hill area. His blond hair and hulking frame never failed to rush ahead to hold the doors for others, even as his own health made it difficult to do so. He loved to help others, and greet each person with “How are you?” and “Have a great day.” He believed fiercely that kindness was the gift we all have inside to share with others, and it was up to each of us to make the world a better place.
Brian was a jack of all trades, from his degree at WHCT in Calais for automotive, to carpentry. He worked many years at Auto Colony in Ellsworth, EBS in Blue Hill and turned carpenter till his health made it impossible nine years ago.
Brian fought each day with his family by his side, and love was what he drew strength from to continue. His family was his everything. Brian is survived by his wife of 17 years, Jennie Atherton Damon, and their children Jayce Harrison and Caitlyn Bray of Blue Hill. His ex-wife and friend Theresa Damon and sons Timothy Todd Damon and wife Nyssa Rose, now of Waterville, and Benjamin Brian Damon and wife, Laci Jaye, now of Bucksport. Beloved grandchildren, Jackson Tyler, Verity Rose, Gracelynn LeeAnn, and Penelope Jean. Brothers, Bruce Damon of Orland, Bradley Damon of Brooklin, Barry Damon and wife, Missy, of Sedgwick. Parent in law/love Paul and Vickie Atherton of Blue Hill. Brain also leaves behind several dearly beloved nieces and nephews and “adopted children,” who frequently were found by his side. A “sister of the heart” Tiffany Eaton of Deer Isle, and longtime friend Marty Creamer of Jefferson. Brian was predeceased by both mother and father, and nephew.
A celebration of life will be held June 23 at 11:30 a.m. at the Farmhhouse Inn, Blue Hill. Celebration will be potluck style. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to his son’s future care. An account is currently being established for this purpose. Please feel free to inquire.
