Darren is also survived by lots of nieces and nephews, and was very close to a few. He was a family man and his generosity and caring touched many people. He was a light for many friends in his complex and enjoyed spending time with them. He would visit his sick friends and do whatever he could for them. He also fostered six cats who were his fur babies. He enjoyed playing with them with Cory. He loved spending time with Cory; Cory has always been the apple of Darren’s eye. He just wanted everyone to be healthy and happy. His light will shine forever in every heart that knew him. He lost a long battle with cancer. His spirit and love for life showed in everything he did. As sick as he was, he helped as many as he could. He was going to beat the cancer and go back to work! Bless his huge heart!
