Woods

Damien Wayne Woods, son of Wayne Orlie Woods and Leah Janeen (Ratliff) Woods, was born in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, on August 16, 2012. He departed this life at his residence in Oates, Missouri, on May 19, 2024, at the age of 11.

Damien was a student at Lesterville Elementary School and would have been going into the 6th Grade this coming school year. He attended Locust Grove United Baptist Church. Damien enjoyed playing basketball and eating snacks. When Damien's family gathered for family day, Damien would request "cheeseburgers and cheese peas." Damien loved his family, especially his Momma. He was helpful and kind to everyone. He was the missing piece that made his family complete.

Damien is survived by his parents, Wayne and Leah Woods of Oates, Missouri, five sisters, Hannah Maize and husband David of Oates, Missouri, Ashlyn Hubbs and husband Brant of Oates, Missouri, Sarah McMillan and husband Caleb of Las Vegas, Nevada, Abbey Woods of St. Louis, Missouri, and Sydney Woods of Oates, Missouri, one brother, Brandon Woods of Gainesville, Georgia, grandparents, Lyndle and Janet Ratliff of Oates, Missouri, and Mary Copeland of Piedmont, Missouri, nieces, Lucille and Sylvia Hubbs, nephews, Bryce, Jayden and Tristan Maize, and Benaiah and Isaiah McMillan, and great-nieces, Oaklynn and Grace.
