To the Lumar Family, Darren was a very special friend to me. I called him "Anthony" and we had a very unique spiritual connection. No matter if we had a disagreement, We would always check on one another to make sure all was well. He loved his children dearly and we spoke of our boys as if they were one because they have a few things in common and they share the name "Carrington". Please be comforted in the fact that he was strong in his faith and had a relationship with our father "God". I will always treasure our time together in this life. May God Bless you and keep you all.
