We miss Daz so much but this year we celebrated him 50th birthday. Shame he isn't with us to mark it. But we sent good wishes across the skies from friends, relatives.

Darran was my cousin who I had lost contact with. Would love to hear more about him and to hear from his sister Denise. Contact me on: [email protected]. I am Jackie Head, maiden name Carr, daughter of Jack and Eileen.

Just learned that my old best mate from school days is no longer with us. What a shock...I found out by accident when I read Strephen Woods comments on an old Lindens Middle School photo where he said "...the late Darran Lyons"
I met Daz in 1969 at Hundred Acre and we remained friends all throughout school.
After school Darran went off around the world with Disney on Ice and I only saw him a few times after that.
I was so delighted that his life was going great and that he was making lots of money with his business ventures.
Daz I will see you in the afterlife and we can reminisce the old times.
Rest In Peace old friend.

Dear Chad:
I just spoke with Nancy Edwards and asked about you both, my heart just sank at the news. There are no words to express my deepest sympathy for you.
Darran was just a shining star, and you were lucky to have found each other.
Most Sincerely,
Liz Curro

Chad, I have been searching and searching for words to say but the right one I can not find to express my deep sorrow that I feel in my heart and I know you feel too. It seems like yesterday that Darron and I were at Addison and then Frisco. He would teasing me about my funky hair-dos, before we got on the ice. Once on the ice it was all work. I can still hear Darran yell-"Push,Push,Chel" (I would try with all my might of 100 lbs. and 5'height) "that was great-you are a strong and good skater". We were more than a coach and a student. We were friends. I was 14 when we parted and I thought that was a sad day but it can not compare to last few days. Jesus can to my door,knocked and I let him in. We talked for awhile and then he told me that he was going to your house. I know Darran is smiling telling everyone just what to do.
So, keep smiling and I will too.
Thanks, for sharing Darran with me.

Chad, I am still at a loss for words. Know how loved you are and what a difference you and Darran made in the lives of many. See the silver linings and remain strong knowing you are embraced with the love of all of you and Darran's friends (and there are many). I love you my dear friend.

I only met Darran a couple times, but in those times I could tell he was a warm and gentle man. My partner Frank and I had dinner and coffee with Chad and Darran and I could see the Love that they shared. My deepest sympaties for Chad at this difficult time---Gary

I toured with Daz for over 3 years (Mickey's Diamond Jubilee). He was truly an amazing person. He could light up a room with his charm, grace, humor and looks. He was such a loving and caring friend and will be deeply missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.

Darran, You were such an amazing, shining light in my life; I will miss you forever. You were an angel. Whenever you were in the room you made everyone smile, laugh, and enjoy whatever they were doing so much more. My days are much quieter without our many conversations & chuckles; this will take a lot of time to come to terms with. I think of you constantly and hope you can see us and feel the love we all have for you. You were one of a kind and we were all blessed to have had the opportunity to know you. I will never forget you. "Love you lots!"

Darran,
Even though we were only on tour for one year...ssssoooo many years ago, actually I think it was your first tour. What a cutie you were with your tall dark good looks and your sweet accent! More than anything I remember your contagious smile and laugh and your BIG heart!! God Bless Chad and your family and friends during such a difficult time...
Love,

Darran ~ you were one of my favorite coaches, though I only skated with you for two years or so, I feel like I've known you much longer. I remember you loved life, always spoke wonderfully of Chad, and were the type of person others aspire to be more like. You will be missed by everyone who knew you. Love always and rest in peace darran you cheeky little monkey.

Dear Chad:
You have lost a very special person in your life, and I feel very sad that Darran has been taken from us. I have talked to Darran many times in the past twenty years, and he always brought happiness into my life. He was my PRINCE and I was his PRINCESS JULES. I loved him dearly and I feel very sad that he has left us. I know he will be happy with his Mom in Heaven. Chad, I will pray that the Good Lord will get you through this terrible time in your life.
Love,
Julia Bauer

Daz,
I miss you soo much, you were like a second father to me, I could tell you anything and know that no matter what you would lead me in the right direction. All I want is to hear your voice one last time and tell you how much I love you. You mean the world to me and it's hard for me to understand that you are no longer around in person but only in spirit. Well I will see you one day hopefully not too soon but save me a place on the ice in heaven, you owe me some dances. :) Love you forever, another one of your cheeky monkeys.

Chad & Friends: Darran will be missed at many different things that everyone did together, concerts, breakfasts, parties, boating, etc. Our thoughts go out to you all who loved this energetic English spoken frun loving young man. He will be missed and our thoughts go out to you Chad and all of Darran's friends. Joan Kaminski (Muskego, WI)

Daz,
I will miss you always and forever. I will never forget the Christmas Day you spent with us at mum and dad's ranch in Davie the first year you moved to Florida. You were so home sick and missing Chad tremendously. Your wicked laugh and fantastic smile will live on in all of us. Keep smiling and keep them all laughing up there, heaven will never be the same again, WATCH OUT here comes Darran!!!!!
Chad,
Thank you for being such a fantastic life partner to Daz. You made his world and I more than anyone knows how much he missed you when he was in Florida. He couldn't wait for the times you came to visit. Moving back to Texas with you made his life complete. Even though we lost a fantastic Ice Dancing coach it could never compare to the JOY that you brought to his life. You were his life and love. We will always cherish you for this.
My thoughts and prayers are with you always.
Love Karen(Kaz) (Amanda's mum)

Darron will be deeply missed as my good friend who was always by my side in Zumba. He had such an amazing drive and a motivater to all. His smile and laugh was contagious,and brought our class to life every time he was there. He is a very special man now in a very special place. Darron will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on to all he has touched.
Chad, my deepest sympathy.

He will be sadly missed at Zumba class. He always had a smile on his face and put a smile on my face. He had a kind word for everyone. I guess I will get that ride in his Corvette in heaven.
