Damien was a bright light and will be missed.

when i was in the industry and was living with him for over a year....he used and abused me and got me hooked on crack at the time. Courtney all the things he told you were lies and he use to tell me all the stories of what he used to be and play and write songs for me and all the bull shit. When i was with him we were jumping from hotel to hotel 3 years ago. Im glad hes gone so he wont be abusing and exploiting women any longer.

I knew Damien pretty well. Although we had our fair share of problems and fights, he did have a good heart and was a caring man , especially for those he loved. And when he loved, he really loved,…..the only way he knew how. I realize he didn’t always make good choices, and had a talent for pissing people off. He didn’t exactly have the best reputation, and he always had a good line of shit to per sway others in his favor. He was just a man that wanted to do big things , but the easy way. A man trying to get by in life in hopes of making it big some how some way. Was he a bit of a con man? Yes. Did he deserve to be robbed of a future? No. My heart goes out to his girlfriend. It brings me great joy to know that Damien was loved, and I am sure he loved her too. He was one of the most talented men I have ever known when it came to his music. And those words will live on forever. As for him being abusive and getting people hooked on crack,… first I think that people need to take responsibility for their own choices in life and not blame others. I know that he was there for me when I really needed support and he kept me sober for a long time, and without his support , friendship, love and understanding I would not have made the way I did. I am just sorry I wasn’t ever able to tell him this myself.
COURTNEY: DON’T LET OTHERS VIEWS TARNISH WHAT YOU SAW IN HIM AND KNOW TO BE TRUE. I AM SURE IT WAS EXACTLY HOW YOU FELT IT WS BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU. YOU WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS ALONG WITH DAMIEN, MAY HE REST IN PEACE. HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE AND YOU TWO WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN. KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT WHAT GOES AROUND DOES IN FACT COME AROUND AND WHOEVER DID THIS WILL GET WHAT THEY DESERVE AS WELL. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO TAKE THE LIFE FROM ANYONE. STAY STRONG N KEEP HIS MEMORY ALIVE.

I am a Woodland Hills blogger, and since this happened in our town I've taken the time to cover this in depth, talk to a few people that knew the guy, and there's also comments on our blog post about the incident from people who knew this guy. http://www.hillsofwoodland.com/2009/10/31/deg...
