Damon was born Valentine's Day, 1936, to David H. and Mildred V. Harris at the Mercy Hospital in San Diego, CA. Siblings are Betty Harris Sherman of Richland, WA and David Melvin Harris of Portland, OR.

Damon never married and had no children of his own. He a was a fabulous Uncle to Susan Sherman, Seattle, WA; Judy Sherman Tallant of Monroe, WA; Steven David Sherman of Seattle, WA; Gerald Allen Harris of Portland, OR, Robert Melvin Harris of Portland, OR; and Cheryl Harris Remington deceased.

Remaining living survivors are cousins Larry Douglas Jones of Chula Vista, CA; Vivian Jones Divine of Barstow, CA; and Floyd Jones, Jr. of Buckeye, AZ.

Damon serviced in the Naval Reserves with summer duty at Port Hueneme, CA as a cryptographer which led to Damon's love of puzzle-solving and word games.

Damon began business, with partner John Frank Rice in 1964 on the Parkway as Frank Elliot's Interiors, later moving the business to 1016 Lee Blvd, where he enjoyed over 45 years of interior design services to his many customers, who became friends as well.

His love of travel and adventure took him around the world to seek out unique furnishings and accessories. He expanded his family to include the sponsorship and ultimate citizenship of a young man from Indonesia, Multano Hadisuryo, who graduated from CBC with a degree in Hotel and Motel Management and is now with the San Francisco Yacht Club management staff.

The family wishes to extend thanks to the ladies who spent the last vigil with Damon. You are so special.
