I met Damian when we both started training in September 1990.

He was the only young man and was soon loved by all of us. He had such a kind heart and a great sense of humour.

We were a very close group and socialised together, he was our best mate, he loved his beer and loved his food.

He was always one of the girls and help keep us sane with his humour.

He found his perfect carrer working with spinal injuries and made so much difference to so many people.

He will be greatley missed. My deepest sympathy to his lovely family x
