Fund & Memorial Expenses for SSG Damien Preston

Donation protected
It is with great regret and sadness that we’re setting up this fundraiser for the family of United States Army Soldier, SSG Damien Preston (SFC Promotable). SSG Preston passed away on  Monday June 7, 2021. He was an inspiration and touched the lives of everyone he came into contact with.SSG Preston was recently a Groomsman in my wedding on May 29, 2021. He stole the audience and reception by performing LennyWilliams- “Because I love you”. His performance captivated the hearts and minds of all the guests who attended physically and virtually.  That’s just the person SSG Preston was. When he walked in a room, you could feel the energy radiating off.   SSG Damien Preston was a son, brother, friend of many, an incredible athlete and a United States Army Military Police. He served in the military for 10 years with recently obtaining the rank of SSG. SSG Preston was stationed at Ft Leonardwood, M.O. SSG  Preston served under Bravo Co, 701st MP Battalion.  The most precious gift SSG Preston received was his son Damien Jr. SSG Preston was the blueprint of what it takes to be a father. He exemplified God, Family and Country. His amazing mother Sidney Lewis would describe him as courageous, relentless, loving, and very protective over his loved ones.   100% of the proceeds will go to Prestons family and son Damien Jr., during their time of grief to make further arrangements.   Please feel free to share any pictures and memories you have with Damien in the comments. Til Valhalla, Brother. Your prayers, well wishes and generous contributions will be greatly appreciated. ***Update***  Due to the overwhelming donations & responses from contributors. We have increased the donation amount to $20,000. The Family is grateful and would like to thank everyone for contributing. It truly shows the mark and legacy that SSG Preston left on this world. Preston, we all will continue to carry the torch and keep the fight going. We love you!
