We love you, Darrell. Our brother-in-law, Uncle & friend. Jaylus sends loves to his Uncle & Eric says, "Miss you bro!".
As one year approaches, it feels like yesterday that I heard of your passing & feel like the denial, and the shock is still there. some days it really is just too hard to believe you're really gone, and others, I just refuse to Believe it. It seems like days ago when you & Tiff were here with us in Colorado with us, and we were laughing so loud and continuously to the point of pissing off my neighbor's . The good memories & times with you are all that we have left. Because we can't make anymore, the ones we do have will be cherished for the rest of our lives! We miss you...EVERY SINGLE DAY! Rest easy fam! Until next time....give heaven some hell ❤
Love Always,
Kathy, Eric & Jaylus XOXO

I think of our family for the years ahead. On how we will live again. I once tried to imagine how our future would be but now you will only be a memory.

The silence consumes me with every step I don’t know how I’m going to take another breath. Each room in the house I see you there because we built a life we once shared. But you’re not there, you’re not there.

Starting with the daily task my life began to cook for a crew of 5,4,3 and then for only you and me. I went through the day of casual task and I reached in the drawer and place settings for dinner, my daily two down to one who ever knew.

Now we arrive to the middle of the day waiting for a text to say I love you is now gone away.

As I approach the evening you would tell me you were headed home now I wait at the door to emptiness now that your gone.

I lay in bed at night and extend my arms to hold you tight, But now all that remains is an empty spot.

I cry myself to sleep and all the pain that suffocates me and think this can’t be this can’t be.

As I toss and turn without much rest the sun comes up and I think, I can’t possibly do this all over again, but I try my best. It wasn’t supposed to be this way it was supposed to be this way.

I have been told to take it a day at a time but without you there how will I fill my time. The minutes turn to hours and hours to a day my heart hurts badly for my one and only who didn’t stay.

Until I see you again I will try to feel my heart with once was until I see you up above. Until then please visit me and help me through all the agony.

The thing about love is it’s never lost it’s in our hearts until we cross. We are made of energy and it can’t be destroyed or taken, and cannot be lost.

The memories we shared are mine and the love you gave me I will hold forever. Until one day when we can be together.

I love you Darrell and I will walk along with you in my heart, as if we were never apart.

Yours forever your wife,
Tiffany

My brother we had so many conversations. I’ll miss the two of us bouncing business ideas off each other, swapping contacts. Deep conversations about God life kids and marriage. We never spent a lot of time together but we always knew the other would pick up the phone when we needed to talk. Ambitious guys we didn’t have to talk everyday we never held it against each other. We just caught up every chance we got. My heart hurts that you’re gone but I know I’ll see you again. Until then I’ll watch out for Tiff & the boys for you. I know how you love them mor than anything . I know if you read this you would probably tease me and tell me to wrap it up, for being sappy so I’ll end this how we always ended our convos. Stay up, love you brother.

Darrell,
We will keep your memory alive every chance we get, with all the laughs, memories, stories and moments of you, that have filled all of our lives. A memory of a man who was a great dad, husband and friend. A man who worked hard for his family and only ever wanted the best for those he loved. You brought so much joy to everyone you met and will be loved and thought about for all the days ahead. We share the grief of such a devastating loss of a life gone, way too soon. We will be here for my sister Tiffany, and her boys to help them heal in this time and all the days ahead. We love you & you will be missed greatly.

Love Always,
Kathy, Eric & Jaylus
