Cant believe it’s been 10 years! I still miss you all the time. I love you!

This is Amber. My names different on this email.
I still miss you every day! It breaks my heart we never got to get married or have a kid. I’m sorry I couldn’t help enough. I wish I could have done more. I love you!

hey my buddy im here thinking about you. just been really sad, down and missing you

Another year has passed and it doesn’t seem like the pain of missing you has dulled at all.... I truly hope you’re in a better place and I truly hope you know how many people love you, you’re such a wonderful soul-but I’m so sorry it was also so tormented..

To this day, my heart hurts because you’re not here. I wish you could know how much you impacted my life! Love always.....<3

I still think of you often, especially in fall, I’m sure I always will. I’m so grateful you were a part of my life, I cherish our memories together. I wish you peace and love, today and always

Happy Birthday, Damien! You were like family to me and I miss you more than you would imagine. Rest peacefully ❤️

My Dear Son, You would be 39 years old today. I miss you and think of you every day. I hope you are at peace!!

How different life would be if you were still hete5, we miss you!

thinking you brother

You're never forgotten buddy. I was thinking of a few crazy things we did today, I'll keep that to myself heh. It's still hard to believe you're not around.

God Bless You Damien and Your Family, hope you have found peace at last.

My Dear Son,
I think of you most every day, hoping you are at peace.
I know you had a difficult life and I will always wish I could have made it easier for you.
It is hard to believe it has been two years since you have been gone.
I will be with you soon and maybe then we can build something together.
I have always loved you!

Thinking about you........guess I do every day.

After all this time, still not one single day passes that i don't miss you and love you!

God bless you Damien. I know your family misses you so much. You are a very handsome young man. So sorry you couldn't find your way. Rest in Peace my friend. May your spirit live on.

It's been a year since I heard about your passing. I was pissed at first and didn't write knowing you had plenty to offer this world and you were gone so soon. I don't know what happened to you other then what I had heard from mutual friends. Whatever it was you didn't deserve it, neither did the rest of us that cared about you bro. There has been plenty of nights that your name has come up since this and we have tipped a beer to you friend, you are not forgotten. It's hard to come up with a funny or interesting story from my teens or early 20's that you weren't a part of.

You drove me off a cliff in your Ford Ranger and we lived to talk about it, I shoved 5 popsicle sticks in your mouth to shut you up while I tattooed the band around your leg. I carried you home over my shoulder after you fell and knocked yourself out on the train tracks at ISU one year. My point is we were on the same level and regardless of how careless, crazy or just flat out stupid something was we had fun doing it.
you are irreplaceable and one of a kind, and I'm going to miss you.

I'm so sorry you had so many struggles that no one could help you with if you'd only realized how loved you were. I hope you are at peace but you've missed so much and everyone misses you. Such a sad anniversary.

My Son,

I miss you now more than ever!
I hope you are at peace!
I will visit you someday..............

Dear Damien,
Oh how I wish we could have met in person, your father told me so many stories about you I felt like I knew you..............I'm So sorry we never met in this life hopefully in the next and we will both be smiling! God Bless You

thinking about you my friend..

It has taken me a while to write. I just saw your sister and niece today. We all miss you. And I wish Ems could meet you. It makes me so sad to see J so heartbroken. She is unable to open up to me about what she is going through. I just want to help her, but know I cannot relate. Know that you have a beautiful niece that will know about her Wonderful Uncle Damien! I know everyone misses you. You brought a lot of love to everyone...

I am writing this on Sunday Dec 22nd, 2013.........Today you would be 36 Damien. I remember the day you were born as your cousin Danny and I were visiting your Dad and Mom. Many birthdays for you, your Great Grandma (Dec 21st) and your Uncle Ed (Dec 28th) were celebrated together at Grandma and Grandpa's in Milwaukee when our families got together for Christmas. Such sweet memories of you growing up; they will always warm my heart. Love Aunt Sharon.

A Poem I found online: Dedicated to Damien

Don’t fill your hearts with pain and sorrow,
but remember me in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles.
I’ve only gone to rest for a while.

Although my leaving causes pain and grief,
my going has eased my hurt and given me relief.

So dry your eyes and remember me,
not as I am but as I used to be.

Because, I will remember you and look on with a smile.
Understand in your hearts, I’ve only gone to rest a while.

As long as I have the love of you,
I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.

In Loving Memory of Damien J. Rost

Still think about you every day. I was describing how I was feeling with Ashlyn. I told her it feels like really bad homesickness. She said, "I get it. Damien was part of your home." She hit the nail on the head. Miss you every day. I'm still confused, mad, sad, and homesick. It's getting easier to bare and I know it will get better. The impact you had on my life was profound. I will never forget you even as I move forward. Thank you for all the wonderful things you did for me.

miss you my brother !!!!!!!

I am so sorry that I have just now found out of your passing. You were a special part of my life. We had laughs and you were always there for everyone around you. I wish we would have stayed in touch. God bless and I pray that you are at peace.

Damien, my classmate of 94 I never forget you & all your jokes when we were so young. You always made me laugh after you had all the trouble in high school. . It was good memories. I miss you so much.. I was so shocked that you went gone to heaven without saying good bye... you will be sorely missed. I LOVE YOU, MY FRIEND!

You were my first love and best friend a moment frozen in time. It has been years since I’ve seen you but I thought of you often, and the memories we made. You had a wonderful, fiery spirit, so creative, had a good heart and loved you family dearly. Some of my best memories were with you. My heart aches but I know you are safe in the arms of angels. May peace be with you Damien

Damien you were an amazing and crazy person we shared so many amazing memories you will be missed by both Mariah and I. may you rest in peace. you were and will always be a great and beautiful person now rest with the angels my sweet friend for that I know we will see each other again

May God Bless Your Soul and Keep You Safe in Heaven.

My beautiful brother Damien, I will try to take comfort in knowing that you are no longer in pain.I hope you can see and feel my heart and how it aches because of the time past that we didn't keep in touch..Just wish I would have shared my own shame and pain with you and been there for you like you were for your friends.Please rest peacefully,LOVE YOU! Your Karma

Damien, I pray that you have finally found the peace that seemed to elude you in this physical world. You will be missed by many.

Damien, you always had a smile and a hug for me. You brought a different dimension and perspective to our lives, and you got Amber on an airplane! Thank you for the the time you spent in our lives and lessons you have provided for us to learn. I'm not sure what those lessons are, but I pray we figure them out! Watch over your loved ones from you perch in heaven!

Damien in the few times I spent with you I could see what a loving person you were. A handsome man with a caring soul. I know how loved you were by your Dad, Amber, all your family and friends. It was hard not to love you. I'm so sorry you struggled with your feelings and didn't realize how loved you were! We will all miss you and hope you are at peace.

Damien, we would always fight, laugh together, smile together, and we didn't have the best relationship towards the middle, but in the beginning and the end, we had a great one, an amazing one. You were always there for me, you would always say the funniest things. You are an amazing man, and I will never forget how happy you made our family. I love and miss you. Rest in peace. <3 love ash

I miss you so much. I don't know what to do with myself when i come home and your not here. I love you forever. Can't even begin to explain the loss I feel. There are no words to explain the hurt. I just want you home with me. Thank you for sharing your heart with me and the kids. You are my beautiful man. I will miss you every day.

I'm so lucky that I got to know you, even if it was only for a very short time. You made my life a little brighter just by being a part of it, and I'm so very sorry that you felt so much pain in yours that it made you think this was your only option! You will ALWAYS be in my heart. My thoughts and prayers will always be with you, just as your smile and laugh will always be with me! loveyou

My Dearest Nephew Damien, you will forever be in my heart. I cherish the memories I have of you as a baby, a little boy and the young man you were when we last saw each other in Milwaukee in June of 2006. I know you are now at peace. Love Aunt Sharon and Uncle Ed.

Damien, my friend, my brother, we all loved you very much, we all will miss you very much. You was always there for me when i needed you. Love you brotha

Sweet Damien, I truly loved our talks, and joking with each other. I am sorry for the pain that made you feel that you had to leave us this way. I love you son, and I will miss you terribly. Thank you for being there for my sons, and for the kindness and respect that you always showed me. Rest in peace dear one. See ya on the other side. We love you.

Damien, you will truly be missed. I didn't get the chance to know you like I wanted too but I know you were there for Rick. We made amends and as I told you that night at the bbq you are family. I will take care of your brother. We love you Damien. Forever in our hearts.

Damien...May God bless you...I know you have found the peace you so desperately needed...My heart is broken by trying to understand the pain you must have been in...Rest in Peace my son...

I have always loved you, my son!
I know you are in a better place!!
I will see you again!!!
PEACE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

May God Bless Damien's life and death. May his friends and family find peace and comfort knowing he is not hurting any more.
