The Mordialloc Braside Junior Football Club, fondly known as Mordi-Brae, is coming together with the wider community in a moment of deep reflection as they honor the life and legacy of Damien Miller—a person whose presence shaped the club in countless meaningful ways.
Damien was far more than a coach. He was a mentor, a guide, and a steady source of encouragement for young players finding their way both on and off the field. His dedication extended well beyond training sessions and game days; he gave his time freely, always placing the growth, confidence, and wellbeing of others at the heart of everything he did. Whether it was offering words of support, sharing a laugh on the sidelines, or stepping in wherever help was needed, Damien embodied the true spirit of community sport.
Those who had the privilege of knowing Damien speak of his warmth, generosity, and unwavering commitment. He believed deeply in teamwork, respect, and the power of sport to bring people together. For many families, players, and fellow volunteers, his influence will continue to be felt in the lessons he shared and the standards he set.
The absence of such a devoted and compassionate figure is felt across the club and beyond. From the football grounds where he spent so many hours giving back, to the friendships he nurtured over the years, Damien leaves behind a legacy built on kindness, service, and genuine care for others.
As Mordi-Brae reflects on his remarkable contribution, the community stands united—remembering a man who gave so much of himself and whose impact will not be forgotten. Thoughts and heartfelt support remain with Damien’s family, friends, and everyone whose life he touched during his time with the club.
