SEPTEMBER 4, 1974 – MARCH 11, 2025

As the dawn of a new day started, Damien Trotter Taylor entered this earthly realm on September 4, 1974 in Fayetteville, AR. to the joy of his loving mother, Georgia. At an early age, Damien moved to Ashdown, AR at an early age to live with his beloved Nanny, Pearlie Mae Reed, his uncles and aunts.

Damien always wanted a little sister or a little brother. In 1983, he was blessed with twin sisters. When his sisters turned four years, Damien became their teacher. He taught them to read, write, and understand how to complete their school work. This was his proudest accomplishment – helping his sisters learn to read andwrite.

Four years after graduating high school, Damien began his travels with his mother (Georgia). During those ventures he developed a love of reading.

He loved spending time with his relatives, reading, and playing the piano. Whenever a piano was near, he would always play classical music. People were amazed of how well he played music without having the music sheet in front of him. Damien was talented; but had a low key attitude. Damien had a tremendous mastery of the words with reading and understanding how to us words. He believed words had meaning and should be used properly.

Due to his infectious smile, a radiant display of genuine happiness, instantly brightened the room and put everyone at ease whenever he was present. Damien enjoyed the simple pleasures of life like spending time with friends and family, catching some sunshine in the park, and reading those mystery novels. This was definitely evident from his monthly conversations with his mother.

St John 16:20-22 - Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. 21 A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. 22 So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
