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
Sent with love ♥
Why is our heart breaking.
When we think of you,
Why is our body aching
With our memories so true,
⋱♥â‹°
Why did you have to go,
We need you now today,
Its because we love you so,
In each and every way,
⋱♥â‹°
We will try and keep on going,
We will try to keep so strong,
But you should be here beside us.
In our home where you belong.

† NEVER FORGOTTEN.†
† You are the Angel who I cherish,
† So dearly in this heart of mine,
† The one who makes my day brighter,
† By making my whole world shine.
† During all the darkest moments,
† When my skies turn cloudy and grey,
† You're the one who touches my heart,
† And makes everything seem okay.

LOVE JUDE. X X

Although you cannot see me
Don't believe that I am gone
My spirit still remains
To help you carry on.
Lift your hands to Heaven
And that glimpse of light you see
May be the hope you're seeking
Found inside of me.
A life may wane and wither
And eventually fade from view
The energy transforms to light
Still to be sensed by you.
Don't assume I cannot see you
Just because you can't see me
I'm standing right beside you
Where I always want to be.
Love and God Bless
I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

Damen - why did you have to go son
Why could you not stay
The longer that the time goes on
I miss you more each day.
I think of you just all the time
In the passage of the years.
I think of the happy times with laughter
But the laughter turns to tears.
Love always to you Paula. xx
☆ 24TH APRIL 2009 ☆
You’re Living On Within My Heart.

It’s been while since last we spoke
But how that time has flown
My love for you does not lessen
In fact my love has grown
I’ll keep a part of you with me
And every where I am you’ll be
I’ll keep the promises I made
My love for you will never fade
I know you’re watching over me
Your gentle ways live on
And I’ll always feel your tender love
You’re still with me though you’re gone
You’re living on within my heart
A memory strong and pure
I carry deep within my soul
A love that will forever endure
I miss you so, I love you
And know that I’ll see your face
As soon as I pass through the gates
And join to in that heavenly place.
