Damian, our gentle spirit and beloved daughter, sister, niece, cousin, and friend. Damian was
known as the oldest child of Amanda Kent and Dean Contois. She was born and raised in
Winnipeg, Manitoba where she spent her life with family by her side.
Damian is survived by her dear mother Amanda, father Dean, six brothers and sisters, Michael
(Meadow), Tai (Sydney), Blake, and Chad. Grandparents, Zelda (Henri), Marlene Starr, Brian
(IDA). Damian also had numerous extended siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, and
nephews.
She was predeceased by her grandparents, Wayne, Olive, Stanley, James, Frances, great
grandparents, Lydia, Genevieve, Florent, and Uncle Jordan.
As Damian’s time with us was short, all the relationships and memories she created and
cherished with us will last a lifetime. We will all cherish those memories and time spent
together. Damian was so loved here on earth as he will be in heaven.
Love and miss you so much.
I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has laid you see
I took his hand when I heard his call
I turned my back and left it all, I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found peace at close of day, If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joys
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things too I will miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
My life’s been full, I’ve savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch
Sometimes my time seemed all to brief
Don’t lengthen it all with undo grief
Lift your hearts, and peace to thee
God wanted me now, he set me free.
...
The lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me lie down in green pastures.
He leadeth me beside still waters.
He restoreth my soul.
He leadseth me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yes, even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for thou you art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mines enemies;
Thou anoint my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life,
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
