Damen Jeremie Hooper, 22, of Mattapoisett passed away on Saturday, Dec. 15. He was born on November 26, 1996 to Kimberly (Prince) Joseph and Jeremie Hooper in Manchester, New Hampshire. Damen spent his early years in Manchester, New Hampshire and moved to Mattapoisett, Massachusetts when he was six. He graduated from Old Rochester High School in Mattapoisett in 2015.

Damen will be so dearly missed by everyone that knew him.  We will always remember his infectious smile and his loving caring personality. He was the kind of young man that anyone would be proud to call son, brother, grandson, and friend. Damen recently found fulfilling work in the art of plastering and embraced it with every cell of his body. He was so proud of his work that it was contagious and felt by all who knew him well. He was a quiet, gentle soul who loved spending time with his girlfriend at the beach and watching The Office.

Loved ones that will miss Damen are: his parents, Kim (Prince) Joseph, Jean Claude Joseph and Jeremie Hooper; his sister Annouk Joseph; his brother Emile Joseph; his brother Nolan James Cavanaugh; his grandparents Suzanne (Fauteux) Prince, Mark Prince, Myrtha Joseph; Diane Hooper; and the love of his life Brooke Elizabeth Sweet and her loving family. Others who will miss him are his aunts, uncles and numerous cousins and dear friends.

Visiting hours will be held on Friday, Dec. 21, at Saunders-Dwyer Mattapoisett Home for Funerals, 50 County Road, Mattapoisett from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. His Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, Dec. 22 at 9:30 a.m. at St. Anthony’s Church at 22 Barstow Street, Mattapoisett.  Burial will follow in St. Anthony’s Cemetery.
