It was an honor to know and to have served with someone of your character. You were a great person and the definition of an admirable officer. Your determination was as inspiration to many. You will be missed my brother in blue. We'll take it from here!

Dee was a great inspiration to me. I often say there's not to many people I can say is in a better place but with Darryl I know he is in a better place. He was kind smart and the type of person that you looked at and would say I wanna be like him. When I saw the story I was in a state of shock and all I could say is the world has lost an Angel and heaven has gained one. May he rest well in the bosom of Abraham. He will be missed by many he touched a lot of lives.
