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

This special Easter wish
That comes with love to you
Brings warm and heartfelt thanks
For all the thoughtful things you do--
It also comes to let you know
You mean so much more each day
To everyone your lives have touched
In such a loving way.

thank you for your support
Although you are a friend of mine
and candles we exchange
I wouldn't know you on the street
and doesn't that seem strange? ♥♥
♥♥ You hold a place within my life
unusual and unique
we share ideals and special dreams
and still we do not speak ♥♥
♥♥ I picture what I think you are
perhaps you picture me
an intriguing game for both of us
for someone we can't see ♥♥
♥♥ So for this friendship we possess
we owe this mail a debt
perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met ♥♥
love to you and Damen ;;;;; Alison xxxxxxxxxxxxx

You are my distant angel,
Watching over me with care.
I can not help to think,
What would happen if you were still here.
Love lives on in whispered prayers,
Of a happier life for you.
You are my distant angel,
And I will always love you.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I'm afraid to live without you,
Afraid to face my own fears.
You have been my distant angel,
Through all of your last years.
There will never be another,
Who has changed my life like you.
You are my distant angel,
Through everything I do.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
As the days, the weeks, the months go by,
And I sit alone and wonder why.
Why did you leave me,
And where did you go?
Though you are watching over me,
I still feel alone.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
My heart starts to ache, and my eyes start to cry.
Living without you has left a hole in my life.
You have been my distant angel,
Through all the thick and thin.
May God bless you and keep you,
Until we meet again.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
HAVE A REALLY GOOD WEEKEND MY FRIEND
WITH LOVE AS ALWAYS LINDA.XXX

Just because I no longer
stand in front of your eyes
doesn't mean you can't see me.
Close them,I am there.
Just because I no longer
answer when you call my name
doesn't mean you can't hear me.
Speak softly, listen carefully,
there is my voice.
Just because I can no longer
touch your hands
doesn't mean you can't feel me.
Hold on to another,
my arms are there.
Just because I am no longer there
to show you I love you
doesn't mean my love is gone.
Place your hand on your heart,
feel its beat.I am there.
I hope that you all have a lovely
day,takecaere with love as always

♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

"Angel"
Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.
Memories and little prayers,
We all are mourning you,
But we’ll celebrate the short life you led;
We will never forget you.
I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.
You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
We love you so, I love you so,
But now we say goodbye.
Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears, just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
We know you did your best.
It was your time, so as we cry,
Go forward that extra mile,
You did what you were sent to do,
You made everybody smile.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
