Dyamon Gabriella Jamison Obituary (1994

Dyamon Jamison, 21, of Stratford, CT passed away October 16, 2015 as a result of a brief illness which was complicated by pre-existing conditions at Yale New Haven Children's Hospital. Her family was by her side when she returned home to be with her Heavenly Father. She was born to Jaqueline D. Jamison of Stratford, Connecticut on May 22, 1994. During the years 1997-2008 Dyamon attended Ripton School, Chapel Elementary and Flood Middle School. From 2008-2014 she resided in the West End of Hartford, Connecticut where she attended Thomas Quirk Middle and Bulkeley High School. She then returned back to Stratford and graduated from Bunnell High School Special Needs Program in June 2015. Dyamon was one of many faces born with Trisomy 18 not expected to live past 6 months to 12 years old according to genetic specialists. She defied the predictions and was one of the oldest individuals with this genetic disorder. Loving, caring and compassionate are just a few words used to describe this special young lady who was also known by some of her teachers as 'Miss Personality.' Although primarily nonverbal, Dyamon had a special way of communicating with those who spent time with her. She loved to travel, going out to eat, singing, playing jokes and being around people. Through her life she was the light that God used to teach us unconditional love, patience and forgiveness. In addition to her mother, she leaves to cherish her memory: her sister, Jasmine Robinson-Jamison of Stratford, CT; her grandparents, James Big Daddy Jamison and Rebecca Mimi Jamison of Stratford, CT; aunts, Angela Jamison of Orangeburg, SC and Adrienne Jamison of Stratford, CT; uncle, James A.L. Jamison III (Madeline); several great-aunts and great-uncles; a host of grandaunts, granduncles, cousins, other family members and friends.
