Damon Frierson

Mr. Damon Lavern Frierson, affectionately known as “Day-Day” or “The Day”, transitioned from this life on Saturday, September 19, 2020 in Detroit, Michigan at the age of 46. He was born September 17, 1974 at Saginaw General Hospital to Bishop Ronald and Lady Georgette Frierson. Damon attended Saginaw Public Schools and graduated from Arthur Hill High School in 1992. He went on to earn an Associates Degree from Delta College and his Bachelor of Science from Eastern Michigan University. Damon was co-owner of D&D Barbershop in Farmington Hills, Michigan where he practiced his chosen profession as Master Barber and Creator of Smiles.

Damon committed his life to Christ at an early age. He was a student of the Bible and would preach the Word of God to anyone open to listening. He was best known for his humor, warm personality, and his loving heart. Damon had genuine empathy for those less fortunate, homeless, and downtrodden. He would often say, “I know I’m not perfect, but God knows my heart.” Damon’s genuine love of God, loving demeanor, and laughter would brighten the day of anyone blessed to truly know him.
