19 now, thought I´d say something again since I´ve been thinking of you a lot. Not having a father really hits hard once you get older, you really start to experience how the lack of a father affects your relationships and general personality. I always think about how life would have been with you, maybe I would´ve been visiting you every other week. Wonder how the holidays would´ve been with you and if we´d have the same stupid humour lol; my mom says I have your same humour. I guess I´ll just do a little update before I wait another year or so when I decide to leave another comment. I´ve decided to leave the idea of becoming a paramedic and per-sue firefighting in Sask or BC, I think it´d feel good to be saving lives. It´s definitely going to take a lot of work but I hope I make it through the programs; just a little worried about whether my vision will affect my screening since I have glasses lol. That´s pretty much all for now, I should definitely mention that I look a lot like you, just waiting for the beard to come in fully. I miss you a lot though, I hope you´re watching down over me.

Just turned 18 the other month and remembered that this website was still around. It’s been a few years since I last posted something so I thought I’d say some things. I finished high school, although I still need to do three more credits in order to get my diploma, I also met the girl of my dreams and she’s been the best thing to happen in my life and I’m also still debating whether to continue trying to become a Paramedic or to go into interior design or something similar. I miss you a lot and I constantly think about how life would’ve been with a proper father in my life; I hope some day I’ll be able to be a father and give my kids the joy that I was stripped from me. I love you Dad.

Miss you, brother. But I am constantly reminded of our faith in Jesus and because of that I will see you again in Heaven. Time's going so fast. Life is going by so fast... See you down the road a bit, my friend.

Was thinking of you today. I miss your smile, I miss your laughter. I miss how you would do anything for anybody. Most of all, I miss your friendship. Love you Darcy!

It has been over 10 years and my thoughts still dwell. I still have video footage and audio recordings of you and me. I gave Cassie a CD of your chronicles, hopefully she can make extra copies. I hear your son is doing well, I would like to meet him someday and share the memories with him. It would be nice for him to see and hear those recordings. (If you ever read this part Gabriel, please contact me.) I am sorry that I never found this website until now, and now I am able to let others know how I feel. There is an emptiness that can never be filled. When I think about the good times we spent, the pain recedes for a while. When I want to hear your voice, I play the tape. When I want to see your movement, I watch the video. We always talked about theories and other stuff that others my find 'out of the ordinary'. I miss you deeply and I hope that your spirit is high! Thank you for being there for me and most of all, for being there for everyone else you cared about. Peace be with you!

Uncle Darcy,
it's been more than a year since you were taken from us. I will never forget the way I felt when my mom told me over the phone, and how my father looked when I went home that day to find the door locked. Up until that point, I'd never seen my father cry, and to this day it still breaks my heart. you are up above, looking down at us with Grandpa Ed, smiling, laughing, happy. I'm sorry that I never got to know you very well, but from what I can remember you always treated my family so well. I miss you every day. Your loving cousin, Hailee Fayant.

Man! Its been over a year and not one day has gone by that I dont think or miss my Uncle Dar. Its a constant struggle to remember that he is actually gone, I often shop and see something I know hed like, drawing tools, band shirts, medieval trinkets.. Ive known Darcy since I was brought into this world, being only 4 yrs apart we stuck close and he always protected me, like the big bro I never had. We would vent to each other, share stories, go to the exhibition and even tho he was more scared than I was, he would always take me on the big rides.:) I loved the way he had NO hate for anyone only respect and love. God always takes the good ones first.. We had many great times together and Ill never forget that. Ill miss the times we would tell ghost stories and scare each other, we always had a passion for the unknown! He was a GREAT UNCLE and will be Sadly Missed! I love you uncle Darc the Arse! I know you are watching over us:) ~RIP~ Well meet again.. xoxoxoxoxoxo

Darcy was a man with a big heart and never rejected anyone. I remember a few times when I would go to grandma's just to get out of the city and be with people who really care...Darcy was one of them. One day that I was there, we went down to that old abandoned house down the road just to check it out and Darcy scared the crap out of me while we were there. lol good one though. I have missed his hugs and wrestling with him. Gran used to tell us to settle down but we would always challenge eachother to a match...lol here's to good times.

darcy,
do you remember when i had gotten you a Nirvana t-shirt, but icouldnt give it to you personally, so i left it at your house, and in bad luck your house burnt down along with the shirt? ill never forget the appreciation you gave me when i returned when you asked me if thats what i had gotten you, we both laughed at the situation, probably because thats all we could do! i loved played D&D with you, as much as i liked just talked about bands we both liked (even though Kenny still argues that YOU are a bigger Nirvana fan than i, but we both knew it wasnt about that). I miss your company at Moes fires, where we could sing songs and have a good time. I miss you alot. I have all faith in you watching over all of us, because we all love you.
peace, love, and empathy, which you so stongly believed in.

Dear Uncle Darc,
you left us too young, you had so much to offer this world, but with you gone and all these babies being born I feel as though I will value life more. Watch over us all,

I was supposed to say something about you at your funeral brother, but i froze up and i didn't say anything. I never got a chance to tell the world who you were in my life...and so few words can't even come close to who you were to me.
I met Darcy when I was really young…like 6-7ish..he was my very first friend and we’ve been together ever since…he was my mentor and my big brother figure, my best friend. He taught me what life was to him. And I was given the opportunity to meet a lot of people because of him…he always told me…”don’t ever be shy, you will never know the world if you’re shy”…he also taught me how powerful the human mind is…we used to play a lot of dungeons and dragons when we were young, and it was my escape from my troubles…Darcy would create these massive worlds from his imagination and he would engulf me into it and I could actually see and smell and touch these worlds as if I was really there. It was only then that I didn‘t care about what other people thought about me or if I was going to get bullied or not at school.…he had this gift of taking you out of this boring reality and taking to a place where there are no rules…only imagination…He always told me not to worry about what other people thought… “just be yourself.” We both had this obsession with the undead. Darcy chose the path of zombies while I walked with vampires. We used to stay up all night writing notes and future campaign ideas about zombies and vampires in our D&D worlds and as we grew older it eventually turned to short stories, movie plots and “what if…” scenarios…we used to walk everywhere and get into deep conversations and the odd debate about comic book superheroes and star wars and the deeper things in life like the stars and the universe and how galaxies are made. and because he was my big brother…he was always right…(even though he was sometimes wrong)…it was because of Darcy that I wanted to know more about this reality…I felt like I had to prove to Darcy that I could be as smart as he was…he was my motivation, my inspiration. I wanted to be just like him…I even chose the same career route as an inspiring chef…no matter what…through thick and thin…we never fought each other, he would sacrifice anything for me. And he has too….He was always there for me…my Big Brother.
I wish everyone could have seen you through my eyes...
I'll See You On The Other Side Big Bro. I Love You Dude.

Darcy, It's been years since ive seen you, but i remember well the times we had, playing 64 and wrestling in grandma's back yard with R.J and Kenny. I'm upset that we didn't get to spend more time together. But one day, we'll meet up again.

I was honored and blessed to have the opportunity to speak about my longtime friend Darcy at the recent prayer service. Darcy was a kind and caring friend, a gifted artist, and a person who was aware of the frailty of life in this world.
Since his accident, when he almost lost his hand and life, we talked regularly about spirituality. Acknowledging his mortality, he recently decided to accept Jesus in his heart and life as his personal Lord and Savior (which is described in the Bible - John Chapter 3 - as being 'born again' or born of the Spirit'). He believed in the Word of God (the Holy Bible) and carried a little Bible with him in his knapsack.
Late one night, about a week before he passed, he wanted me to drop him off where there were people drinking, but I told him I wouldn't because, with all the alcohol-related deaths and injuries in recent years, I was concerned for his safety. So, I dropped him off at his mom's place instead. Before he got out of the car, Darcy reached down to unzip a pocket on his knapsack and pulled out his little Bible. He told me not to worry because he was keeping his faith and reading the Bible a lot. I told him that was good because the devil is constantly trying to cut our lives short... We prayed together briefly. That was the last time I saw him alive.
During one of our recent visits, I heard Darcy say that he believed that Jesus died on the cross for his sins and that he rose from the dead. The Bible (in Romans) says that if a person confesses with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and they believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead, he (or she) shall be saved (and have the promise of eternal life.)
Our life in ths world is truly brief - a mere vapour that is here for a moment and then gone the next. I will miss Darcy but am thankful to God for saving Darcy and I by His amazing grace (which means 'unmerited favour').
Because of God's love, expressed through his only Son Jesus Christ, we can all see Darcy again when it is our turn to leave this world. I know I will see him again...

I never really got a chance to meet him. I wish I did, if I would have known he was at the reunion 5-6 years ago, we would communicate. I'm sad that he is gone. If I were to go back in time, it would have been a pleasure of knowing him. My sympathies goes to the family. He'll be forever missed but never forgotten.

I am the mother of a good friend of Darcy’s from when he lived in Indian Head. He touched the hearts of anyone who was privileged to know him – kind, considerate, loyal and with enough tenacity and strength of character to grow himself and nurture others. I remember him as a peacemaker and counselor. My heart goes out to family and friends.

My cousin,
When my twin and I started kindergarten in Aber, we were new and filled with fear. And it was you that laid that fear to rest when you introduced us and never left our side. We became the '3 musketeers'. You always took care of us. Your sense of humor and immense energy were apparent even then, and you always found a way to put smiles on our faces.
It was you, Jeffy, Alana and I who would play soccer and explore the little world surrounding us... the Motherwell, 'Never Never Land', 'Oakland', 'the shop', abandoned houses, you name it...Remember when you climbed the Oak Tree by Aber School and couldn't get down? Dennis had to go all the way home and get a mattress for you to jump on. :) I will always remember that.
You always defended us and took the blame when we would get into trouble.
... Just days before you left us, you asked if I needed a roomate, and I said it's never a good idea to live with family, especially you. Darce, I thought only of what we've been through and I didn't want us to ever fight over trivial things.
..I don't hold one negative memory of you. We never fought or argued or held grudges. You are made of pure goodness that we all strive to be.
I will try my best to tell myself that we will be reunited and see each other again and live in light, peace, content and happiness. We all miss you so much already and that makes my heart ache. But I know you would just tell me, to remember all these wonderful memories of our precious time together ... I promise you I will. I love you very much, Darcy. Rest easy now, with Uncle Ed by your side, and keep watching over us, the way you always have.
