Miles Hahn

Dad,

You were and always will be my inspiration. You are a role model that can never be replaced and my hero that will never fade. On the day you left us I lost my dad, my coach and a great friend. I still and always will miss you.

Your Son,
Damion

The Final Whistle

A bear of a man, with a heart of gold.

After he was born they surely broke the mold.

He was very stubborn, never thought himself wrong.

Had an opinion about everything, his convictions quite strong.

He pulled no punches, said exactly what he thought.

The very person to see, if the truth was what you sought.

He gave of himself and always expected the best,

and he'd give you HELL if you gave him anything less.

Everything he did, he gave his all.

To anyone in need, he always answered the call.

He never turned anyone away, his home an open door

and no matter how fill it was there was always room for more

His family and friends were his entire world

his wife, his son, his two baby girls

Never give up he'd coach and teach

It's rare to find a man who practiced what he preached

And that's just what he did, when his body betrayed his spirit

They told him it was over, but he just wouldn't hear it.

He fought with all the strength he could find

and he took his life into double overtime

I'll miss his voice, that sparkle in his eye

that smile on his face a mile wide

He was a man I was lucky to have known

But the match is over

the final whistle has been blown!
