Darryl Lemons Obituary
Darryl is survived by his soulmate, Talana McNeely; his brothers, Lloyd Lemons (wife Diane) and Robert Lemons (wife Lynn).
In the early 1970s, Darryl moved to Florida, where he became known for his artistic talent. In 1978, he was honored by the West Pasco Art Guild, Inc. Despite losing his eyesight soon after, he taught himself to play the piano and shared his music throughout Florida. His works, *Distant City Lights* and *Instrumental Music for Cool People*, remain as part of his legacy.
Darryl will be remembered for his keen sense of humor and ability to bring laughter to those around him. His creativity and resilience left a lasting impact on all who knew him.

I´m so very blessed to have known Darryl my entire life. I will always love and miss him. Darryl´s fierce determination and tenacious nature spurred him on to achieve whatever he wanted to accomplish. He had amazing musical and artistic talents. And then there was Darryl´s sharp humor, that would make you laugh and brighten any day. His ability to recall the smallest details from when we were kids or our many long conversations about everything under the sun will stay in my heart. Fly high with the angels Darryl and someday I´ll see you again on the other side.

I only got to meet Darryl a handful of times but he was everything to my Aunt Talana. I know he was an incredible man that she loved more than words. He will be missed!

I met Darryl in 2005. He was in a band with my late husband, Paul Davis. Darryl was a very talented musician who has definitely been taken from too early. I believe he was the last living member of their band. I'm sure it's one big reunion in Heaven. Rock on !

Darryl was such a fun person to be around. He and Talana complemented each other so well. Together they were the perfect couple . Darryl had such a quick wit. He always had a smile and could make others smile also. I feel blessed to have had him as a friend. He will be missed by many

Darryl loved all holidays from Halloween to Christmas and his Fireworks on July 4th!
I will miss all the long conversations about how to fix the world. Lol
His memory was spectacular he would always ask me "do you remember" I never remembered and he would fill me in with all the details!
When ever I didn't know how to fix something I would call Darryl he always had the answer.
I miss him...
