With Heart-Felt Sympathy, Love and Prayers 🙏 for all the family. Such a special family. Darrell was my friend and classmate. He will be missed by all that knew him. Always had such a beautiful smile. Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted.
Although I haven’t seen Darrell in a long time, he has always been special to me. We dated in high school, went to 2 proms together, ate at Sir Pizza almost every weekend for 2 yrs, went to the movies,etc. The poor guy got his wallet stolen when we went to the beach even though I had to cover up from head to toe(due to sun poison) he still held my hand while we walked down the beach! I will never forget his thoughtfulness, kindness, and beautiful smile. He was truly one of a kind and I will never forget him. My love to his family at their time of loss. He is in God’s hands now!
So very sorry keeping all in my prayers 🙏

Thoughts and prayers to the family
I had the privilege of working with Darrell and got to speak to him about his relationship with Christ. He said he trust in Jesus when he was younger. Knowing that always makes this much easier. I pray for his family and friends that are hurting. Just know that because of what Jesus did for all of us, Darrell’s doing just fine. Please be sure to examine your heart as you grieve the loss of a son, brother, uncle and friend. Knowing what he knows now, he would want me to share this.
Lucy and family, so sorry for your loss you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. He always carried a smile and care for others Darrell was one of kind may he Rest In Peace with his Heavenly Father, Amen
