Daryl S. Rantis

I sat on the Green Building Council with Daryl in Asheville. Today, I opened the new Green Building Directory and saw that it was dedicated to him. I had not heard of his passing and am very saddened. Daryl was kind to me as a newcomer and he valued the things I shared and the sustainability experience I brought to the table. He and I shared a similar vision for our communities...the embrace of pedestrian zones, bike paths, greenways and all sorts of gathering spaces meant to connect...

I am saddened to think it has nearly been a year since we lost Daryl. We miss him. I can't really put into proper words how we cope. Days pass and we show up, still without him.

Although I never knew Daryl, my life has been touched by his creative designs. I certainly share a feeling of loss.

Dear Rantis family and friends, please accept my condolences for the loss of your loved one. May you all find comfort by drawing close to God. James 4:8

I'm saddened to hear about Daryl. I knew him in college and he was a talented force out in that sea of wheat. He will be missed. Will always remember his humor and creativity.

I barely knew Daryl, but I love his family and am so sorry for such a great loss. He was a shining example of what a peoson can be and do if they follow their dreams and are true to themselves.

Daryl brought so much Love and Light into the world, through his friendship and sense of responsibility to the Planet. I hope to always be sharing that spirit of joy and reverence of beauty!

Daryl has been and will continue to be a lifelong inspiration to me. I am a student of beauty and he was my teacher.

Our prayers and thoughts are with Jennifer, CeCe and Camille; Daryl was a sweet person and talented architect who will be greatly missed and always admired.
