With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Dameon Pona, whose kindness, strength and love for those around him left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Dameon was a devoted husband, son, brother, grandson, uncle and friend. He cherished time spent with his family and was always willing to lend a helping hand or share a smile. His love, compassion, and sense of humor will be treasured by all who knew him. He is lovingly survived by his wife Faith Pona; his parents Keith and Theresa Pona, his sisters, Ayrehl (Ryan) Brooks and Kortnee (Austin) Keen; his grandfather Sam Pona and his beloved nieces and nephews, Cayde, London, Roman, and Ellie, who brought him so much joy. He is also survived by his in-laws, Tonya (Mike) Benton and David (Amanda) O’Brian; his brother-in-law and sister-in-law David and Destiny O’Brian; along with many extended family members, friends, and loved ones who will deeply miss him. Dameon was preceded in death by his grandparents, Lyle and Sandy Barton and Virkay Boehm. Though our hearts are broken by his passing, we find comfort in the memories he gave us and the love he shared so freely. His legacy will live on through the lives he touched, the laughter he brought, and the unwavering love he had for his family. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who offered prayers, support, and kindness during this difficult time. Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever in our hearts.
