Not sure what to say?

I miss you alot brother wish you were here.

Darryl, you are forever in my heart. I will never forget your smile, brilliance, laughter and how really real you kept it. When I think of you, it is with authentic admiration, genuine respect and love. You shone so brightly and will continue to do so on the other side. It is hard, at times, for me to believe that you have moved on. Rest easy young King.

Still can't believe that you won't be popping up somewhere with open arms and a big bear hug. Sending love and prayers of strength and comfort to the family and friends of Darryl McDaniel. May the memory his bright smile light up these dark days ahead.

You were a good friend to me, but I considered you way more than that. You were my family. My brother. We used to have so much fun double dating and hiking and mudding in the jeep with Latasha. I'll never let your memories fade , they'll always be with me D. Until we meet again, I love you brother.

I coached Darryl when he played football at Ithaca High School. He was truly a team player and gave everything he could. I watched him grow into a young man with a helpful spirit. He would drop me a line once in awhile just to see how I was doing. He always refered to me as Coach Moss, his coach. Proud to have coached/counseled him, one of "my guys", he will be missed.

Darryl's passing has been quite a shock to my wife Margie and me. We watched him grow up with his grandparents, and always enjoyed Darryl. He made us very proud as he became a wonderful young man, and was looking forward to watching his career grow. Many will miss him.

He was one of my best friends I can't believe he's gone you were just at my brother's funeral why? Why so soon: '(

Darryl will be missed. I remember him as a student at Ithaca High School. Darryl made his peers laugh while we, staff, pulled our hair out because of his playful nature that often spilled out at the most inconvenient times. As a staff member I could not help but laugh at his jokes and playful nature, never mean, just wanting some attention and to break the ice in the class. A co-worker and I were just talking about Darryl on Friday, not knowing he was no longer with us. I will remember that...

rip man heart breaks for losing a young brother to soon.
