In one night a life forever changed.

Intelligence, strength, trust, honor, talent and all wrapped in a smile that reaffirms a world I've only dreamt of.

There's nothing as wonderful as a man who's found his calling, and this man, my friend Damien, is someone whose coattails I am proud to be hanging on to.

So much to know of him and so much of him that he chooses to share.

I feel blessed to walk an unwalked path with no map, and instead of finding that I'm lost...I find myself. And even more fantastic, I discover a friend like Damien, headed in the same direction.

May we ever walk boldly into the unknown my brother.
