I remember cooking with you every night, and going outside with you to play basketball and football after dinner. I remember our bike rides and walks with ice cream cones, and I miss it more then anyone could know! You left behind the best gift anyone could give and that was my little brother Logan, and I am thankful for that everyday. I love you so much Darren I can't believe it has been 4 years, RIP

Darren left the best little boy in the world behind. I believe he is a driving force behind his love for music, wit, humor, friends, and family. Logan is a beautiful child. He misses his father.We rally around him and he will be fine, but no one will replace his dad. Another great legacy, Lauren, she continues to be a great little chef. He is missed.

What do I say that hasn't already been said by all of us? We loved you, we will always love you and we will always remember you.

Darren would be so proud of his niece, Kara. She is a culinary student and seems to have inherited some of the skill, talent and passion that we saw in Darren. We sometimes feel his presence around us, especially around Kara, and we know he is watching. We're proud that Kara has become a part of his legacy. We enjoy sharing stories of Darren's cooking, and how much he loved it. We still feel the loss, knowing how much he could have taught Kara and how much he would have loved that. Our hope is that Darren is at peace and knows how much we all love him still.
Jim, Jean & Kara Patterson

Two years and I still find myself talking to you as if you're sitting right there. Most times I even know how you'd respond. I know you've somehow heard all of those words and all of the words I've left unsaid. I miss you and I miss the faith that you had in me. I know you'd want for us to be happy and we do try but we'll never be able to fill the parts of our hearts that were filled by you.

Darren My Son,

Tis A Day I’ll Always Remember,
This Day In Late December,
Tis A Day All Covered In White,
Oh How I Wish I Could See You Tonight,
My Heart Is Full Of Sorrow,
Because I Won’t See You Today Or Tomorrow,
You Left This Earth All Too Soon,
Oh Why, Can’t I See You This Afternoon,
Some Would Look To You To Blame,
But Few Knew Your Pain,
You Always Made The Perfect Gourmet Dish,
It’s Here, With Me, That’s What I Wish,
You Gave Us A Recipe of Smiles And Laughter,
You’re At Peace, That Is What Matters,
Now You Serve God’s Angels On Silver Plates,
I’ll See You Soon, At Heaven’s Gates,

Happy Birthday,
All My Love
Mother

Darren, As the days go by, I listen to Trish, Lauren, and Logan talk about the good times you all had. You are missed by all of us. The children are your best legacy. I know Our Lord has welcomed a good man with his arms wide open.
We all could have skipped the pain, but we would have missed the dance. May the Good Lord bless and keep you and watch over your loved ones. I miss you also. Mom- R

Darren
Our last conversation was on Valentines Day and I am glad that we got to laugh and remember the good times. The times that were not so painful, the times when we both were happy and in love and at peace with one another. I will always mourn you and I will choose to remember all the good that you were. I will always look at our relationship and thank God for it. We have to thank him for all relationships, the good and the bad because this is how we grow and become strong. He gave you and I both and you sure tested him. I know you are finally at peace and with God. I know God will keep you safe and you are a guardian angel to your children and all your loved ones. I know you did not want to leave, you just could not weather the storm any longer and I want you to know that you were loved and that you will be missed.

Big “D”

You were my brother…my friend. We had great conversations, cookouts, golf games, vacations, and nights out on the town. It seems the last couple of years went by too fast. We drifted apart too much with responsibilities and differences. I wonder if we reconnected sooner…If I could have helped, but I didn’t know and I didn’t try hard enough. Heaven will have a great chef, golfer, and an infectious laugh that I will miss soulfully.

May your soul rest in the glory of God's Love while the memory of your beautiful smile and twinkling eyes remain sweet in our memories.

Darren was my brother in law. He lived with us for a while some time ago and I had the opportunity to know him as a member of our little family. He cooked for us, played cards with our little daughter, fixed things around our house. I am so grateful that we had that time together, and I have many great memories of that time. But we also saw Darren's daily struggle and did all we could to help him. He knew that we loved him and I like to think that the love made a difference. Darren was a sweet, charismatic and talented guy. I feel a deep sadness for all that has been lost in his passing... but I take comfort in knowing that his struggle is over and he is at peace. We love you and wherever you are, Darren, we hope the fishin' is good.

Daddy; I have found a special place for you and me to always be close. I keep your stop watch, a picture of us, and your ashes by my bedside. Mommy says I can talk to you when ever I am feeling lonely and sad. I want you to know that I love you. I miss our time together. I miss how we would wrestle on the living room floor. I miss going to the movies, bowling, Fat City, playing in the park and playing baseball. I miss not being able to call you and I miss you not calling me. I will always miss you and I know that I will see you again. You were so tall and Mommy says I am going to be as tall as you. I would love when you put me on your shoulders. I love the jeep you built for me on my forth birthday. You were a great chef and drummer and you could play the guitar good too. You always made me laugh when you would talk in different voices. I love you Daddy and I will miss you every day of my life. I know that you are always here in my heart, but I still miss YOU!
Love your "Little Man"

Bob and family,
So sorry for your loss. I know the pain of losing a brother. It's never easy saying good-bye to someone who was such a vital part of your life. But there can be comfort in knowing the he lives on in your most cherished memories. And through them, His spirit will always be near.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Darren once, when he and my niece Michelle visited us up in El Jebel where we live. I remember seeing this very tall, handsome guy sitting in the chair surrounded by children & looking a little overwhelmed but loving it. I would hear about all the wonderful meals he prepared & how loving a person he was. I know Michelle & Ashley & Saige are the better for having him in their lives if only for a short time. He will be missed, but God has bigger & better plans for him now. Our heartfelt aympathy goes out to his family & many friends. God Bless.

Darren,
It's been a long time since you 'tagged along' with your older brother and me, but I can clearly remember those days with fondness. You touched the lives of countless people, and for that we are all blessed.

Darren,
You were a fantastic cook, good drummer, and loved by all.
But, on top of that you were the best step dad in the world.
You were the one teaching me how to fish, cook, and bluff in our family game night poker games. I will miss you very much but, know there is a place for you in my heart!!!
Love you

The shock and sorrow and disbelief are all so overwhelming. You were my first love and my dearest friend and while I'm so sad for the years that we won't have together I am also so very grateful for the many that we did have. My promise remains unchanged. I'll miss you so much.

You leave behind a legacy of many lives you have touched and will be remembered for your heart of gold. Your were always at conflict with the wandering spirit and earthly vices but deep wanting to do the right thing and be there for the people who love you. Today I believe your spirit is free to roam and free of the vices of earth that chained you for so many years. You have always been in our thoughts and prayers and remembered for the good times we had growing up. This world was not ready for you, but I believe Heaven is.
