Paying tribute to Damian, his family said: “This devastating grief simply does not go away. It is with us all every single day.”

“Whoever killed Damian has ripped our lives apart and we will never be the same again.”

“Every day we look for the good in people, just like Damian would. He had a heart of gold and always saw the best in everyone. He never had a bad word to say about anyone.”

“He had time, love, and space for those who needed it, as so many people have said, and this is makes this tragedy even more painful.”

“One year on, we desperately need you step forward to tell the police what you know.”

“Your information, however small, may spark a vital breakthrough in this investigation.”
