In the late summer of 2009, a sense of loss befell the family and friends of Damion Turner Reese, a 28-year-old male who passed away in Savannah, Georgia, on Thursday, September 17, 2009. Born in Corsicana, Texas, on January 19, 1981, Damion was a 1999 graduate of Corsicana High School and had also attended Navarro College and the University of Texas at Arlington. He had been employed at the Boys and Girls Club of Arlington before embarking on a new chapter in his life.
In 2007, Damion joined the United States Army and was stationed in Savannah, Georgia. He was known for his love of sports, particularly basketball and football. His church affiliation was with the Straight Way Missionary Baptist Church. His sudden passing left a void in the lives of his mother, Machelle Turner, his father, James Turner, and his extended family and friends.
Funeral services were held to honor his memory at the Straight Way Missionary Baptist Church, followed by his interment at Woodland Memorial Park. There is no information available from online sources regarding the circumstances of his death, nor is there any mention of any arrests, suspects, or ongoing investigations related to his passing.
