Lit a candle in memory of Damion Graham Henderson
Damion was my precious little brother for over 28 years. There are so many layers to my feelings for this precious soul, but of all of the feelings I had for him….the biggest is love. He was the kindest, calmest, softest, most loving, most genuine soul I ever knew. He struggled for so many years to fit in and be accepted as normal….while all the while living with the detrimental effects of brain cancer. I miss his voice, I miss his scent, I miss his hugs, I miss his beautiful way…of just being Damion. His death has forever changed who I will be in this life. I will honor his life by remembering his grace, his deep love for his family, his endurance to move forward, and his unwavering spirit. We love you Uncle D and we will never be the same without you. Thankyou for teaching us so much about love and life by leaving us early. It was an honor to be your big sis. ?? (and also, will you PLEASE watch over us…and help me bless our precious mom)
We feel so fortunate that we were able to spend time with you and your Mom. I found you to be a fantastic young man who went through a lot and still had a great attitude for life. You will be missed and our hearts are heavy with your passing. May God Bless You and your family through this trying time. Sending much love and hugs. Your friend, Rhonda Elder Ybaben and family
Damion, was diagnosed with one of the rarest cancers, mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. It does not have its own treatment protocol and there are not many long time survivors. Damion's was further complicated by its location. He had to battle, not only the cancer, but the devastating side effects and long-term effects, of this complication. In true Damion spirit he fought a very brave battle. And, in true Damion spirit he tried to lead the "normal" life of a young adult. His mother was a great advocate for Damion and was always trying to learn about his disease and about sarcomas. Damion will be missed….

Damion, my only baby, my only son, my hero – I don't think you will every know how full you made my heart. I have missed you, so much, so much, so much. I know you hear me when I sat good morning, when I talk to you in the day and when I kiss you at night. I'm trying so hard to get on with my life, but you know me ( – ?? You ARE my life. I will have pictures befitting of your spirit, your beauty and your greatness soon. I love you always and forever. Momma
