Elberon, Virginia
Daimon Dwight Young, 19 months, was taken home in the arms of the angels on Friday, June 15, 2007 at University of Virginia Children’s Hospital, Charlottesville, VA., where he was awaiting a heart transplant. He was the son of Hazel St. Peter and Harry Dwight Young, Jr.
Daimon struggled hard to live with a congenital heart disease from birth, and he endured two major surgeries in his short life. Despite these trials, he was a happy and loving child who was loved and supported by his family each day of his life.
Besides his parents, he is survived by a large and loving extended family of grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Maternal grandmother, Lori Jean Grove; maternal grandfather, Frank Albert St. Peter; paternal grandfather, Harry Dwight Young, Sr.; paternal grandmother, Lisa Louise Young; maternal great-grandmother, Rosemary Rose; paternal great-grandmother, Faye Etta Young; paternal great-grandfather, Rawles Edward Bryant; maternal great-grandmother, Shirley Lancaster; and paternal great-grandfather, Harold Lloyd McCoury.
A Celebration of Daimon’s life will be held on Thursday, June 21, 2007 at 4:00 p.m. in Oak Grove United Methodist Church, Surry, with the Rev. Ray Rowland officiating. Burial will be in Union Congregational Christian Church Cemetery, Dendron. The family asked that memorial donations be made to the family or the funeral home. The Purviance Chapel of J. T. Morriss & Son Funeral Home, P.O. Box 727, Wakefield, VA 23888, is in charge of arrangements. Condolences may be posted on our website at www.jtmorriss.com.

Dear family and especially Daimon's Mom and Dad. So sorry for your seperation from your brave champion and little guy. He of course, is not lost, and we will all be united some golden daybreak. We are grieving the absence of our 19 year old child Kelly Ann since 1993. You can survive this horror. It doesn't have to split the parents apart. Ignore the dumb and insensative -so called helpful remarks made, and focus on just getting one foot in front of each other. Cry all you need to. Remember that even Jesus cried at the death of Lazarus, and He knew he was going to bring him back! Grief is a long process that you have to go through, you do not have any choice, but the pain deadens some IF you go into your grief and let it happen, but do not stay down, get back up and walk on. You need to do this to survive my friends. In God's merciful and caring love, we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

It is our prayer for you that the Lord give you peace and comfort through what must be the most difficult time in a parent's life. Little Daimon is certainly in the presence of Jesus! What joy to know the truth in that! May God be with you and your family and bless you all,
