Darius is one of the kindest, most enjoyable people that I met when I moved to a new middle school as a kid. Just a hoot to run around with at recess because his energy Is endless & a great team pick for anything as he could pretty much outmaneuver everybody else! A sweetheart of a person, a gentleman, so thoughtful, caring, with a great laugh, a genuine smile & just in general a beautiful soul. I am so sad to just discover that he has left to go explore something else, somewhere else. Bless that mans journey!! He sure has a place in my heart & I will never forget him.
