In Loving Memory
Jeffery Damon, DMD, FACP
It is with great sadness within our hearts to announce the passing of Jeffery Damon on March 27th, 2020. Dr Damon was with our team at Dental Services for 11 years and during that time he was more than just a great dentist or colleague, Jeff became a mentor and a wonderful friend.
Whatever we write down here as staff at Dental Services, it will never be enough to truly express how we feel towards losing a member of our family.
We can go on about his love for his son and wife, his gentleness and kindness towards his patients, his wonderful outlook towards life, but that would only be scratching the surface of how truly great this man was.
Our lives were enriched knowing this man and we are truly indebted for the time that we had with him.
