Obituary
Damian Denning Kinzler was born on April 20, 1995 in Willmar, Minnesota. He was a beloved son, brother, and friend whose kindness, humor, and adventurous spirit touched all who knew him. Damian had a remarkable ability to connect with people, offering a listening ear and a helping hand to anyone in need.
Damian’s passions included his family, his cats, playing video games, listening to podcasts, being an umpire, playing disc golf and anything sports-related. Damian loved music – singing, dancing and creating. He approached life with curiosity and enthusiasm. Whether working or playing, Damian brought joy and light to every moment.
Damian bravely battled through difficult personal struggles, always with the support of his loving family. Though times were not always easy, Damian knew that he was loved and cared for by those closest to him, and showed tremendous gratitude and strength throughout his life.
Damian is survived by his loving mother and father, Kirsten & Tim; siblings, Dominic, Devin (Brianna); grandparents, Dianne Erickson and Jim Eberhard, Marvin Kinzler; as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins and dear friends. He was preceded in death by paternal grandmother, Helen Kinzler, and maternal grandfather, Tom Erickson.
Damian will be deeply missed and forever remembered for his kind heart, infectious laugh, unwavering loyalty, and always bringing joy. His presence in our lives was a gift, and his memory will remain in our hearts always.

Patti Hoerner says
Damian was amazing from the start, with incredible hair that stood straight up and a smile that very rarely left his face. He had that way of making you feel joyful and creatively would craft words and sing new songs from old tunes that sent us giggling. When he sold candy bars to get to Camp Foley in the sixth grade he would open one singing, ” I’ve got a golden ticket!” From Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. As he checked in with me in the classroom at NDMA throughout last year, he would connect that memory with a new tune or singing my favorite diddy. Well Damian, you have gotten the golden ticket. One you redeemed in peace, love, and hope in God who holds you now. We are heartbroken because we will miss you greatly. We hold great hope to see you again in heaven my friend. It was an honor to watch you grow and be apart of your life. We were blessed because God shared you with the world even though it was way too short. Gentle blessings my friend.
