Damien Draper Bost

With hearts full of gratitude and sorrow we announce the passing of Damien Draper Bost, age 30, of Nakina, NC. Damien died while doing what he loved to do, serving others.

He served his community as a Deputy for Columbus County Sheriff's Office as an SRO during the school season and worked patrol during the summer months. He was the protector, mentor and often took the phrase "get on the child's level" literally. He would often be caught playing kickball or joking around with students to make the day more fun. Damien was also a devoted husband, father to two beautiful girls, a son and a brother. He spent his spare time pushing his 2 girls on the swing until the sun went down or blasting music or dancing with them throughout the house. He loved his family, his job and serving and protecting our community. Thank you Draper for your Service, and your devotion to our family. We love you, always.

Deputy Bost is survived by his wife, Jayden of the home, as well as his daughters Scottlyn and Fallon; his mother Crystal Donahue; brothers Skyler (Kati) Donahue of Nakina, NC, Adam Donahue of Nakina, NC; sisters Salena Donahue ( Benjie Hardie) of Fair Bluff, NC, Raven Long (Derek) of Nakina, NC, Athena Donahue of Tabor City, NC, and Azalie Donahue of Nakina, NC, as well as many special cousins, nieces, and nephews. Also the many children Damien touched over the years.

The family will receive friends at the South Columbus High School auditorium, Monday June 29, 2026 from 10:30 AM until 12:30 PM.

Funeral services with full honors will be held at the same location starting at 1 PM. with burial in the Watts Cemetery in Nakina, NC.
