Damien Michael Cronan

With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Damien Michael Cronan, 17, of Antrim, New Hampshire. Damien succumbed to injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident on September 20, 2024, in Dublin, N.H. He was born in Peterborough, NH, on August 22, 2007, to Geoffrey Cronan and Felicia (White) Roberg.

Damien attended Antrim Elementary and Great Brook Middle School as a senior at ConVal High School. He worked at RiverMead in culinary services and Fran’s Auto, where he was admired for his dedication and hard work. His favorite job was landscaping for someone he admired deeply in Hancock. He was in the Auto program at ConVal and hoped to become a diesel mechanic and join the Marines after graduation.

Damien was known for his bright blue eyes, huge smile, and infectious grin that could light up any room. He was goofy and funny, always ready to lift everyone's spirits with a joke or a playful prank. His adventurous nature led him to explore new places and try new things, never shying away from a challenge. Despite his tough exterior, Damien had a kind and big heart. He was always there to lend a helping hand or a listening ear to those in need. His thoughtful and sweet soul made him a cherished friend to many. He had a unique ability to make people smile and laugh, spreading joy wherever he went. His presence was a source of comfort and happiness, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Damien is survived by his parents, Felicia (White) Roberg and Geoffrey Cronan, his stepfather, James Roberg, and his father’s girlfriend, Samantha Emanuelson. His siblings Payton Cronan, Raelynn Cronan, Genevieve Roberg, Landon Cronan, and Grayson Cronan. He has a wealth of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and other extended family and friends who loved him dearly.
