Mr. Damien Lamont Byrd of Tallahassee, FL, formerly of Port Saint Joe, Florida went home to be with the Lord on Thursday December 18th in the Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee, Florida.

Funeral services will be 12 noon (EST), Tuesday, December 23, 2014, at New Bethel AME Church, 146 Avenue C, Port St. Joe, FL.
He will be laid to rest in the Forest Hill Cemetery in Port St. Joe, FL under the directions of Christian Memorial Chapel of Graceville, Florida.
Visitation will be from 11:00A. M. (EST) at New Bethel A. M. E. Church until time for the services at 12:00 noon.
And it came to pass in the time of her travail that, behold, twins were in her womb. And so it was, while she was giving birth, December 5, 1976 it was proclaimed that this one would come first, Damien Lamont. And it came to pass, behold, his sister came forth, DaVida Lori; therefore, two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. (Genesis 38:27-30 and Ecclesiastes 4:9-12| Paraphrased)
Damien was a 1995 honor graduate of Port St. Joe High School. He has a degree in economics from Florida A&M University. He was serving as Quality Control Manager for GradImages®, a Division of the Event Photography Group. As regional manager, he was responsible for 125 freelance photographers and all external activities in a nine-state region for the nation’s largest graduation photography firm. His 150 plus clients’ list read like a who’s who among the Southeast’s premier colleges and universities, with such clients as: Florida State University, Georgia Tech, University of Georgia, University of Mississippi, Vanderbilt, University of Tennessee and Port St. Joe High School, just to name a few.
Damien was a self-proclaimed “tech-guru” from a young age. Later in life, he realized that he owned his first personal computer prior to the local telephone company. Shamelessly, he admitted to having more working laptops connected to his home network than televisions. Damien enjoyed taking photographs of moving or nonmoving images. Traveling was also a passion in which he indulged in quite frequently whether it was for work or for pleasure. He also felt that his broad exposure to the United States and the world helped him to grow tremendously, as well as to understand that we are now truly living in a global economy and in a figurative sense that the world is becoming flat.
In the midst of his success, Damien was an unwavering father and husband; “for a man who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.” |(Proverbs 18:22). Damien chose Lysheenya Phillips Byrd as his life partner. His children, Daylin Lee, and DaVena Lori are a heritage from the Lord and are the joys of his heart—he was an awesome Dad!
Biblically, thirty-eight is the number of work, or labor. It includes the idea of one's calling, or life's work and purpose. Early Thursday morning, December 18, 2014, at the age of 38, life’s work and purpose for Damien Lamont Byrd was fulfilled as he was reunited with his twin sister “Dia”. We give God glory and thanks for the gift of Damien’s life and legacy.
