Darren R. HAMPTON

1/28/2017

I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Darren was my stepbrother for about 30 years and I never got to know him. I lived out of state most of that time and we were never close as far as spending time together.

On the other hand, Darren is the kind of guy that you feel you know from the moment you meet him. I didn't have that many conversations with Darren over the years, and the ones we had I can't remember what we talked about, but the one thing I do remember is...

Nancy and family, every time I've ever seen you guys the one thing that I always took away was how so in love you are, how much joy you had in each others presence. Such a rare and beautiful love. I am so very sorry for your loss and pain. It's so raw right now, but will become more gentle as time passes. Love to all of you!

I knew Darren via Craig Hinze when I was working at Energy Savers. He was always such a happy upbeat guy. It was always fun to watch him and Craig interact with each other as if they were brothers instead of just cousins. I remember when he got his haircut and thinking, "Wow, you really clean up nice, dude"!
I was shocked to hear of his passing. I know he will leave such a void in many many people's lives. His spirited laugh and demeanor will live on in all who were lucky to have known...

Nancy & Family,

May the fond memories of Darren bring you comfort during this difficult time. Look back on all the good memories you were able to have, and smile at the fact that you were able to share all of these together...Our thoughts, prayers,and hearts go out to you during this hard time.

Love, Dara and Wayne O'Connor

So very sorry for your loss Nancy. I haven't seen Darren much after high school but he has definitely touched many lives and will be remembered always. He was a genuine guy who lit up a room. Prayers to you and your entire family.

Darren was a wonderful, warm person and I'm grateful to be able to call Nancy and him my friends. I will miss him very much! Rest peacefully, Darren, and keep a close eye on your brothers when they put two wheels on the road <3

Sending thoughts and prayers for comfort and healing during this difficult time. Another one from the class of '86 taken too soon. So sorry for your loss, Darren will be missed by all that knew and loved him. God Bless!
