WARD, Damien Richard

WARD,

Damien Richard

Born 20/01/1966

Died 24/12/2022

Aged 56 years.

Son of Colleen (deceased) and Michael Ward.

Much loved step-son of

Liz Ward.

Brother of David Ward and cherished husband of Una.

Damien was born with Cystic Fibrosis. He bore the hospitalisations, medications, treatments and transplants with patience and good humour, but mostly he ignored them. He lived life to the fullest, had an enormous circle of friends and a seemingly endless supply of first cousins (40 in all). He loved them all dearly.

He qualified as a teacher and taught at various schools, mainly at OLSH (Alice Springs, 19 years) and St Ignatius College, until his final illness.

At peace at last.
