I love you Uncle Darrell. Thinking about you very often, thinking about the warmth, security, kindness, opportunities, and much more that you’ve given us. I can’t thank you enough for my brothers and sisters. Peace & love always.

I just learned of Darrells passing . He will be missed greatly. He was the sweetest and most generous soul. He is with his beloved Brandon now. I think of you often and can not believe that you are gone.

Darrell was the kindest man with the biggest heart. He lived for his children and missed Brandon everyday. I will think of you often my friend. Working with you on Being Mary Jane was a deeply fond memory that I will never forget. Miss you

4 life!!!!

I kept telling myself it was too late to add to the guest book. But, finally just decided to do it. My prayers are with your children and the rest of your family. I know they miss you so much. I will always remember how kindly you treated me, how you always had time for questions. Until we meet again.
Love,

My heart aches. I just learned of his passing recently and I'm still in shock. Darrell was one of the best people I knew. He was always willing to lend a listening ear and offer good advice. The world is a darker place without this kind soul. He was one of a kind and I will miss him dearly.

I'm reading these amazing posts about you in the hopes of feeling your presence. I love and miss you deeply. The sadness is painful, but I know I'll be okay. I wish you were here. Thank you for being the best father (and so much more) I could have ever imagined having.

Dear Darrell, I'm so glad I got to work with you at Sony. You were a kind soul and so appreciated by this then junior exec. My thoughts are with you and your family. Warmly Yalda

How many in life bring together fierce but modestly-voiced intellect, mighty-hearted recognition that life's mileage is always unpredictable but demands tenacity, and sweet whimsy? Darrell's too short life gathered all these gifts together. "Warrior poet", he once told me, is how he wanted to live. "Even a lawyer can be that, right?", he said. In the world of his Oxford-related friends, he was an anchor: always ready to listen, to encourage, to uplift. It is completely wrong --- but then, is anything about our mortal calendars right? --- that Darrell is gone so soon. Even though I'd not been in his direct company for more than several recent years, our telephone calls always inscribed me with his steadfast good heart. Onwards, wherever, brother Darrell. You've written your signature into the lives of many.

To Darrell's family - Just learned of his untimely passing from a friend in the movie biz. Absolutely devastated. We had dinner together in August and I counted on seeing him when I was back in town in January. We were roomies on the QEII on the way to Oxford and have been close ever since. I send you all my most heartfelt condolences. I know you must all feel, far more keenly than I, robbed of his love and warmth and more years with this truly wonderful guy. I'll miss him terribly. May you find comfort in tender memories of all the good years together.

Darrell, I was devastated to just learn that Darrell has gone. My heart was however lifted after reading that the time, kindness, wisdom and grace was shared so broadly and fully by Darrell, and that others, like me, experienced his gifts. He lives on inside of all of us he touched.

Darrell, forever grateful for your early guidance, kindness, and encouragement, and especially the time you generously gave to answer the many questions i had about the biz. I looked up to you and always appreciated the grace, dignity, and class you demonstrated as you navigated an industry filled with so many highs and lows... im glad our paths crossed. You will be missed.

Darrell was not just my boss he was also a friend and a mentor. He aided me in my career path, as well as provided guidance, motivation and emotional support, a real role model
Through my friendship with Darrell he taught me how to set goals and not just for me but also for my daughter Paige, who he was like a God Father to.
He helped us in so many ways and definitely was instrumental in many of the educational and occupational opportunities that Paige and I were given. Paige and I are forever grateful for his kind and caring ways and thank him for being the incredible human he was and a true gift to many.

Darrell was a truly amazing person and I feel overwhelming blessed to have even been in the same room with him. He was a wonderful leader (he was one of my supervisors at BET) mentor and friend. My sincerest condolences go out to his family. He will be missed.

Darrell was one of kindest and loving people I have ever met. He was not only a close family friend (cousin by marriage to Barbara Walker) but also a mentor to me. I wish we had more time together. I will forever cherish the wisdom bestowed to me and memories we shared. Condolences to his children and mother. RIH

Darrell pledged Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., 3 years after me (2004) and I enjoyed our chats, mostly after meetings. We shared professional experiences in corporate America and the 'Frat' business. I wish we could have spent more time together. Condolences to Family to this well respected Brother.
