I first met Darrell in 1977 when he worked for my Daddy and would come to my house with my boyfriend. That was before he became my step-brother. I always liked Darrell and thought a lot of him. He will be missed by family and friends.

Renee, I am so sorry to see this. I am Praying for you all. God bless you. Darrell was a great man. He loved his family so much. That was one of his many great qualities. Fly high buddy. It was an honor to have been your friend. And even if we haven't seen one another in years I always considered you a friend. Thank you for being a good friend to our family. Thinking of the family.
