DARREN J. LaBONTE

Hello,

We apologize for being so late in expressing our deepest condolences to you and your family. We want you to know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo, service branch, rank and hometown of Darren J. LaBonte.

We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made...

On behalf of the Italian American Police Association of Illinois we would like to offer our sincerest condolences to the LaBonte family. Darren, thank you so much for your service to our county!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I am proud to have known Darren, he was a true hero in every sense of the word. He spoke of Rachael often and boy did he love his little girl. I know that one day, she will learn about what an incredible person her dad was.

Dave, I was deeply saddened to hear of Darren's passing. My heart goes out to you, Camille and your entire family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time and always. Darren gave the ultimate sacrifice for all of us. In reading the other entries, I wish I had had a chance to know Darren. He sounds like a wonderful person and "Thank You" sounds so insignificant for such an American Hero. God Bless You!

Words can not express how I felt when I learned of the news. Immediate thoughts went back to when we were kids, playing baseball, playing football, without a care in the world. Darren, you were an amazing friend and you gave the ultimate sacrifice. Our thoughts go our to your and yours.

My deepest sympathy to the Labonte family. Darren gave the ultimate sacrafice for his country. To say I'm sorry is just so small but I know there are no words that will comfort you at this time. We lost my nephew Chief Petty Officer 1st Class Jason D. Lewis two years ago, KIA July 07. and it seems like it was yesterday. The ache never goes away but you can draw strength in knowing these brave men received their wings doing what they believed in and wouldn't have had it any other way. Look...

from the entire Balash family Brookfield, CT. we are so sorry for your loss. A great friend, person and spirit. He will be missed.
