“It’s still under investigation how the collision happened,” Robinson added.

Investigators at the scene said Sisley was possibly driving the Toyota MR2 eastbound on Mount Emma Road when he lost control on a curve and the car plunged off the roadway and crashed into a tree at the bottom of a ravine.

“The date that we put for the collision was Oct. 12 because that’s the last time he was seen,” Robinson said.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the California Highway Patrol, Antelope Valley office at 661-948-8541.

    I was his neighbor and I witnessed his kindness to animals on so many occasions. His pet was crying and looking for him all week. I took care of it and I know he would have done the same for me. I was worried but so saddened to hear the worst. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

    My word of advice is SPEED KILLS. The Angeles crest highway is very dangerous for normal driving and these mountain roads are not very forgiving for “”ANY”” type mistakes. Families always suffer from these types of tragedies. What is need is more CHP MC citing speedsters and taking away their toys which is better than a death notice to their families.

    Damien was about as good a person as you could find. Absolutely tragic. The world could use more people like Damien walking around. It will be a long time before thinking about my friend doesn’t make me sad, but I look forward to a day when I get to think of him and smile, like I always have before.
    Enjoy the other side, brother.
