Darius Raji Obituary

Darius Seyed Raji, born August 14, 1970, passed away on July, 22, 2022 in his Lincoln Park home in Chicago, IL. His mother, Marilyn Singleton Horton of Sunset Beach, NC and his father Morris Raji, of Los Angeles, CA survive him. Darius grew up in New York City's upper East Side, attending the Trinity School. He then attended Dartmouth College where he graduated in 1992 with a degree in Computer Science. While at Dartmouth, Darius was an active member of the Alpha Delta fraternity. After college, he was a successful derivatives trader with several banks including Continental Bank, Bank of America, and JPMorgan Chase working in both Chicago and San Francisco. After departing Wall Street, Darius became a private investor, concentrating on Chicago real estate. Witty and just a touch impish, he always prioritized laughter and fun.  Darius, nicknamed "the King" by his Dartmouth friends was unique in his sense of humor. He was a "people person", impeccable in integrity, generous and kind.  There is a memorial gathering in Chicago on October 22, 2022.

A good friend from my days at Trinity. Possibly my best friend up until 6th grade when I moved. Those that burn twice as bright only burn half as long. A wonderful person with very kind and loving parents.

I worked with Darius in San Francisco for a long time and we became friends. He was an awesome and fun person. We lost touch after he moved to Chicago. I'm sad to see he left this world at a young age. Condolences to his family.

I remember Darius clearly from Trinity. We weren't close friends, but he always seemed kind, serious, and with a sense of humor.

After reading the update on his life through this obituary, I wish I'd known him better. My thoughts are with his family...I'm so sorry for this loss.
