December 7, 1979 - July 8, 2010

It is with profound sadness and deep sorrow that the family of Damian Taylor announces his sudden and unexpected passing on July 8th, 2010.

Left to cherish his memory and mourn his passing are his parents, Don and Debbie and his brother Derek. He was a wonderful, caring son and brother who loved, and was loved by his family deeply. Damian and Derek shared a strong brother bond and could always count on each other.

Damian will also be greatly missed by his Grandpa Taylor, Auntie Michelle, Uncle Michael and Nephew Caleb; Uncle David, Auntie Aida and Niece Emily; Uncle Rob, Auntie Brenda and cousins Karen, Tami, Sherry, Jennifer, Nick, Jennifer, Jason and their extended families; Uncle Tom and Auntie Diane. He will also be sadly missed by his many Great Aunts, Great Uncles and cousins.

Over the years Damian had the love and support of many true friends especially HyeWeon, Kevin, Ian, Dylan and Kate. Many friends deeply cared for him and admired his gentle, caring soul. Damian had the most infectious smile and beautiful blue eyes.

Damian was predeceased by his Nana Marshall in 2008, whom he loved and cherished. He was also predeceased by his Grandpa Marshall in 1980 and Grandma Taylor in 1982.

Damian was employed by NRI Distribution for just shy of 10 years and made many true and wonderful friendships. The management of NRI and Damian's co-workers, especially the staff he supervised, were like an extended family to him. He was planning for and looking forward to travelling this spring in celebration of the ten years in which he was employed there.

Music was a huge part of Damian's life; he always had his car stereo pounding. He enjoyed making CDs for anyone who asked for one. He loved watching basketball, UFC's, movies and was a huge fan of Star Trek: Next Generation. He loved shopping for clothes (especially at NRI) and had developed a passion for plants and flowers. He liked working out at the Canada Games Pool and loved hanging out with Rhino.

"Let our love light your way on your journey"
You will be loved and missed forever
Love Dad, Mom and Derek
