Darryl was a man who walked with the Lord and truly made this world a better place. While he is gone, his spiritual influence will continue to live and grow among those of us still here.

I found out today about the passing of Darryl. He graduated with my sisters class, in 1982. I played Football with him for 2 years, and his impact still brings a smile to my face. Woods always had a smile, and never gave up during a game. He had a old Steelers jacket, with no sleeves, too small, from his childhood, that he would wear under his shoulder pads for good luck. I've been a Columbus Fire fighter for 24 years, working in and around the old neighborhood. I always thought I'd see his smile again. Peace Brother woods.

Darryl and I worked together at Blue Cross/Blue Shield in the mid 90's. He was always calming and thoughtful presence. We enjoyed many great conversation and inspirational moments. So sorry to hear of his demise. Prayers and words of comfort to his family and church.

Darryl,
My brother-in-law because your brother married my sister. My brother in Christ because we each placed our faith in Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior. It was a blessing knowing you as a young kid, hanging out and having funny. It will be a greater blessing hanging out and having fun worshiping our Savior in eternity. Until we meet again. My thoughts and prayers are focused on the wife and children you leave behind. May The Lord bless and keep them until the day of Christ Jesus.
Because of Him,
Ray

My heart goes out to the Woods family. This has become one of my saddest moments when I heard of his passing. Wished I had kept in touch with him more often. Darryl had become one of my closest friends. Especially, during our collegiate years. We shared truly some special memories together then. I will miss you brother. #RIH

Tracie Woods and family. Our hearts are heavy for the lost of our loved one. I know Darryl is shinning a light up in heaven with his beautiful smile and wonderful words of wisdom. We have lost a true man of God on this side of earth, but now we have earned an Angel up in Heaven.
We will truly miss his words of wisdom and encouragements as he had a heart of true giving and worship.
May God continue to wrap his loving arms around the family and send down his Angels for comfort and strength for today and the days to come.
We love you all,

Mrs.Woods,Darian and Cedric it feels painful that Pastor Woods is gone. I feel that I lost a great motivator in my life. I realize that he is not gone. The spirit of Pastor Woods still lives here on this earth. The memories you had with him still flow through your heart and dont never forget that. The one big thing that Pastor Woods taught me about life is to not let no one break young down, but think positive about your dream of living your life. I just to say that he will be missed, but I will always be there for yall. Love you

Pastor Woods was working toward his doctorate, and I had the privilege of serving as his dissertation chair for over two years. He was conducting an important study on the need for pastors to adapt their leadership style to congregants from different generations. His educational goal was to increase the effectiveness of pastors by understanding more fully the spiritual needs of different age groups. He showed great courage and faith by continuing his studies even after becoming ill. In this way, I learned a great deal from him even as his teacher. His enthusiasm and zest for life made a lasting impression on me, and I'm sure he has had a similar impact on many others over the years, leaving a legacy of devotion to Christian love and service. I extend my condolences to his wife, children, other relatives, and friends. Many people will miss him deeply but are comforted in knowing he is in the Lord's arms.
