Damon was born on May 5, 1953 in Youngstown, a son of David and Dorothy (Williams) Baird.  He attended Kent State - Salem and was the owner/operator of Damon Baird Excavating.  His business was well known in the area by farmers for his irrigation and trenching equipment and services, as well as homeowners and   contractors for general excavating.    He was hardworking and was very proud of his projects with the Crestview School District.   Over the years, he liked his drag racing, tinkering on stuff, but he didn’t go fishing nearly as much as he wanted to .   Damon followed the Cleveland Brown, The Ohio State Buckeyes and of course, The Crestview Rebels.
