Damen Christopher Burrows 26.09.1989 to 30.09.2006
Damen from Parr, St helens died tragically following a fatal road traffic collision that occurred
on Grange Park Road, St. Helens on Saturday 30th September 2006.
On that Horrific night all he had done was gone to see his mates and then on leaving when driving
down the main road another horrible person in a car decided to pull out from the side road straight
into Damens path unforunately leaving him no time to react. This person took a gamble at a junction
with my sons life. My son had so much to live for he is loved and missed by so many people. The
driver now lives on without a care in the world seeing his family everyday if only he or anybody
else out there who do stupid things in cars would spend a day feeling how i feel (EMPTY) with my
heart broken wishing everyday for Damen to come home then i am sure they would or hope that they
would think twice before they do it again.
He will be sadly missed by his Mum, Dad, younger borther and sister.
And also his nan and grandad,aunties, uncles ,cousins,friends and anybody who knew him.He is a very
special boy who was loved by everyone who ever knew him. He was very good with everything he put his
mind or hands to from going out with his friends to fishing with his dad, to being a great role
model for his younger brother and sister and his little cousin, he would quite often turn his mates
down to go and play with her.He would often have his hands dirty ither doing jobs round the house or
for people or just fixing his bike or anybody elses he was an absolute star.Unless you knew Damen it
is very hard to believe or understand just how special he was but there are no words that could
express how special he is or how much that he is missed and loved.
Sadly he was taken from us way to soon,his adult life was just about to start,He left school in the
June 2006 gaining 13 gcse with so many plans for the future and within a few weeks had found
himself a full time job which he picked up very quickly and made lots of good friends.He had his
first driving lesson booked for the monday evening after work but unfortunately never made it, he
loved his scooter and took great pride in it, he made sure that he done everything right but it is a
shame that not everybody who uses the roads does the same.
Thanks to everyone who has spent time to leave a message on this site
THANK YOU
HERE IS A POEM I WROTE FOR HIM
Our son Damen
From the minute you were born,
You filled our lives completely,
From the minute you were born,
We loved you whole and deeply.
You lit a room up,
As soon as you walked in,
You cheered the mood up,
With your very special grin.
You were such a good lad,
You always knew good from bad,
You rarely needed telling off,
Apart from those smelly socks.
You were the best big brother,
That anyone could want,
You kept your sister and brother,
In check and safe from harm.
You spent your short life,
Making plans for the future,
You worked hard all through your life,
To make your future bright.
The day you got your scooter,
We argued right from wrong,
But then you got your full time job,
And we all just went along.
You earned your pay throughout the day,
And spent it all at night,
Checking out spares, and buying parts,
For your special bike.
We love you so and miss you lots,
Even though your out of sight,
Never forget you we will not,
Until we meet you once again,
Through that all bright light.
Love you loads and miss you lots
All our hugs and kisses
Mum and Dad xxxxx

This is a beautiful poem wrote for my Damen from a beautiful lady called Angela she also lost be
precious Chris Thank you from the bottom of my heart this means so much to me thank you all my love
Paula
Damen you had your whole life ahead,
But someone took that away,
They never considered our feelings,
On that saturday.
You were only seventeen,
had your whole life ahead,
But someone took that from you,
They killed you, now you're dead.
We never will understand,
Never see the reason why,
You left us on that day,
No chance to say goodbye.
We never will forget you,
Mum, & Dad alike,
Brother and your sister,
Why did you get that bike?
It's all a part of growing up,
Though parents never see,
It's part of independence,
Letting go of you, you see.
But Damen - never forget this,
We loved you more than life,
And when we think of you,
The pain acts like a knife.
We know you still think of us,
We think of you each day,
So till we're reunited,
We would like to say......
Only the good are taken,
To go on to better places,
We can't wait to join you,
Until then ,sadness remains on our faces.
Love Mum & Dad. XXXXXXXXXXX

~~ The Angels ~~
May angels rest beside your door
May you hear their voices sing
May you feel their loving care for you
May you hear their peace bells ring
May angels always care for you
And not let you trip and fall
May they bear you up on angels wings
May they keep you standing tall
May they whisper wisdom in your ear
May they touch you when you need
May they remove you from each trace of fear
May they keep you from feeling greed
May they fill you with their presence
May they show you love untold
May they always stand beside you
And make you ever bold
May they teach you what you want to know
About life here and here-after
May they fill you always with their love
And give you the gift of laughter
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
~~ Angel In My Pocket ~~
I am a tiny angel
I'm smaller than your thumb
I live in peoples pockets
That's where I have my fun
I don't suppose you've seen me
I'm too tiny to detect
Though i'm with you all the time
I doubt we've ever met
Before I was an angel...
I was a fairy in a flower
God himself hand picked me
And gave me angel power
Now god has many angels
That he trains in angel pools
We become his eyes and ears and hands
We become his special tools
And because god is so busy
With way too much to do
He said that my assignment
Is to keep close watch on you
When he tucked me in your pocket
He blessed you with angel care
Then told me to never leave you
And I vowed always to be there
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
~~ Guardian Angels ~~
When angels sense you need them
and angels always do.....
they come unseen from everywhere
to help and comfort you
they hover close beside you
till all your cares are gone
till they can see you're ready
once again to carry on
Then some of them may fly away
and take their gentle touch
to other hearts that need
the love of angels very much
but one at least stays with you
as your constant friend and guide
for guardian angels never leave
they're always at your side
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
Lots Of Love Always ~~ Elaine...x♥x

I’ll never let my child go even though he died.
He’s with me every minute in the pain I feel inside.
When that dreadful thing happened I thought I might forget
His voice, his shape, his smile, his words – it hasn’t happened yet.
He’s in my every waking thought, in all the tears I’ve cried,
In every step throughout my life I’ll walk with him inside.
So in this constant agony when it hurts too much to bear
It’s just his way of telling me that always he’ll be there.
I used to sit and wonder what I’d done so wrong.
Why does the road ahead of me seem so very long?
I’ve lost so much in this life, "why me dear Lord, I pray...
You took what meant the most to me and I needed him to stay...
I'm not at all trying to question you, for I know you have a plan,
But please just send an angel to help me understand.
I feel so lost and incomplete, as if the heart's gone from my chest.
Never did I imagine, I’d lay my son to rest.
The days go by and people say just what they'd do if they were me.
How can they say such a thing, when they haven’t the slightest clue?
I know their intentions may be meant, not in a harmful way,
But how can someone who's never lost their child, know the pain I feel each day.
I thank you Lord for allowing me the chance to see your love.
For you sent to me an angel who now dwells with you above.
Could you please just take a minute and hold my angel tight,
Tell him that I love him and think of him each night.
I miss him more than words can say and although my heart is gone.
Ask him to watch over me, ‘til you also call me home.
I'll go now Lord and thanks again for hearing this prayer of mine.
I now know I was lucky, ‘cause angels are hard to find.
Written by Dawn Elmore
ON YOUR ANGEL DAY
NO WORDS TO SAY TO EASE THE PAIN, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WE REMEMBER YOU, NOT JUST TODAY BUT ALWAYS.
LOVE AND COMFORT

♥ HAPPY BITHDAY DAMEN ♥

Tears in Heaven
Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
'Cos I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
Beyond the door
There's a peace I'm sure
And I know
There'll be no more
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
'Cos I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.
Eric Clapton
LOVE AS ALWAYS ALISON ♥
