Darrell J. Davis

I first met my best friend when I was 5 and for sure I was 6 years old. I knew him before we entered first grade and in the same classroom in elementary and some in high school. He was my prom date in our senior year. We went everywhere together. We played cars together. Visited each other in college. We were in a social club as well as a gospel group together. He kept the group laughing and often times we got in trouble just because we were laughing. Missing him all the time

Darrell sat across from me in 7th grade. He always made me laugh. He was such a sweet and kind soul. Always smiling. The following school year I transferred to a school in the county. Never to see or talk to Darrell again for several years. Facebook reconnected us. We talked about old times at Greenville Jr. High and life in general. I am so proud to know how well he did for himself. I miss those FB conversations we had. I miss my friend.

I just learned of his passing. I had the joy of working with him at Hamline Law. His smile and his jokes I will remember. You are in my prayers.

TO my "big brother" Darrell, I will miss you and your infectious smile! I just learned today of your passing onto glory. I was just speechless. You knew the Lord would be waiting for you with His arms opened wide. Keep smiling down on us. I would like to say thank you for being a part of my "special day" (wedding) 29 years ago and gracing us with your beautiful singing voice! Your duet with Dinna W will always be memorable. To your family, God's grace is sufficient and He will see you...

I only heard the sad news yesterday. I worked with Darrell at Honeywell and considered him a friend, although we did lose touch after he left the company. Still, I have great memories, as everyone else seems to have - he was a GOOD man and had a way with people. He and I had a little college rivalry, especially when it came to Basketball, since I cheer for the Blue Devils, and he was a Tar Heel fan, but it was always in good humor - how could it be otherwise with Darrell?
