Darryl was one of the kindest people I knew. He taught me everything I needed to know when it came to putting on big events/concerts. I will miss him so much.

Darryl and Mary Ann lived behind me and were the best people to live close by. Both were friendly and ready to lend a hand if needed. During Covid he often called to see if we needed anything and offered to do whatever was needed. He will be greatly missed. Our sympathy goes out to their two sons and their families. We were very sorry to hear that Darryl had passed. Rest in Peace.
