Damon Foster

Damon Christopher Foster was born June 27, 1970 to Luria Mae Foster and the late James Christopher Foster.  Damon completed his earthly journey on Monday, October 11, 2021 at Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center while surrounded by the family he deeply loved.

Damon attended West Mecklenburg High School where he graduated in 1988.   In 1989, he enlisted in the United States Airforce.  On January 25, 1992 he was united in holy matrimony to Ms. Tarla D.

Damon was preceded in death by his father, James Christopher Foster; one sister, Lashelle Foster; grandmother, Flora Mae McCallum; two aunts Dorothy Ann Brown and Mary Lee Belin; and one uncle, Michael McCallum.

Damon affectionately known as D’mo and Uncle D was loved by all who knew him.  He took special joy in spending time with his family.  Damon always enjoyed a good laugh with whomever he came in contact with.  He had the most beautiful smile that would light up your soul.  He will be sorely missed daily by his immediate and extended family as well as his close friends.
