I always told him, 'Don't be a sheep, be a leader.' And he took that to heart. He did that in the Army. He did that in his life.
— Donald LeGrand, father
While he was stationed in Iraq, LeGrand's wife gave birth to the couple's second child. The baby girl, Kelsie, was 7 months old when he was killed. Her father never met her.

Two memories of Damon G. Legrand
He was a great man, and a very caring and loving person all around. He is deeply missed by all who met him. I will never forget all the wonderful times I got to spend with him.
Damon, You are in my heart forever.
When we were deployed it was always such a joy for me to see Legrand. He always had a beautiful smile on his face and was so genuine and sincere in his kindness. I never heard a harsh word out of his mouth from the first day he arrived at the unit. I always enjoyed the gentle strength that he had when dealing with myself and his peers.
