So many times I sit and think about you and how much you are missed. So many times I sit and think about you and how many people loved you. So many times I sit and think about you and how many didn't get the chance to know you. So many times I sit and think about you and how much you were loved by all. So many times i sit and think about you and how much you taught those around you. So many times I sit and think about you and how much your loved has transcended time. So many times I sit and think about you.

Someone today mentioned the date 10/23 and my heart dropped and I still felt that same pain I felt now over 10 years ago, it doesn't feel like its been that long and other days if feels like forever. I can still hear you and your presence will forever be with me. You are deeply missed.

I remember when you and jim brought N.A to La Quinta. We'd all pile in the "wonder bread" truck and go to the meeting. I was 13 then. Now almost 20 yrs later I've had to see 3 dear friends from your family pass away. You've made a difference in my life and I'm glad you were one of the first to light the fire under my butt and help me find new life in sobriety. Ill miss you my friend.

Dear Daryll,

I am saddened to hear of your passing for those that were left behind. I am lighting a candle for you because you have been a light for many of us. I am so glad that we got to know each other those years at COD. You were a great study buddy and in the years to follow I was always so happy to see you when our paths would cross. You have always had a kind word and a hug for everyone. I also appreciate that you always told me the truth. We will miss you here but I am certain that our paths will cross again some day and we will go cloud jumping! Hugs to you and my greatest sympathy to your family. Love, Kathy Purvis-Luckerman

Daryll will be missed by so many. Someone like him doesn't come around very often. He was there for so many people, that I have to believe that he truly understood what everlasting life meant. He lives on thru others. and will for generations to come, both in and out of Narcotics Anonymous. He had a heart as big as the world, and I will always miss his early morning birthday greetings. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Neuburger family, thru this difficult tie of loss. God bless!

Daryll always made me smile with his "wazzup my brother?" greeting. Our 1st Saturday of the month poker games were never the same. God called his favorite son home. I love you, man.

I never had the pleasure of knowing Daryll but I read his obituary in the paper and said to myself, "God bless this wonderful man". During my daily visit to the park this morning I observed the setting up of his memorial and the many, many people arriving to pay tribute. What a amazing & positive legacy Daryll left on this earth and I think that is the goal for most of us. My sincere sympathy to Daryll's family and friends.

Gary Raimi

October 28, 2011

When I think of you Darryll, I think of unconditional love. You always gave me a smile, A kiss onda lips and never in 15 years or so ever judged me or condemned me for being me.
For that you made me a better person, and I strive to be like you when I grow up. You made my life better and bring a smile to my face whenever I think of you . See you down da road. RIP

For some reason, Daryll was always "MR. NEUBURGER" to me. Maybe it was the respect I had for him, having knowing him for over 22 years, bowled all over the state (Concord, Pleasanton, Bakersfield, San Diego) in the California State Tourney. I STILL have the sack of ball bearing Daryll gave me to chew on when things didn't quite go as I had hoped. "Rocks in your jaws" In other words: Pissed.
One guy I really loved!

Today we will be saying farewell to our friend Daryll. He taught us by his example what this program has to offer those who surrender and live in gratitude and service. Thank you for lighting the Narcotics Anonymous fire in the Coachella Valley, as did Jimmy K. at our beginnings. We are honored to have known you and will always be grateful for you touching our lives. God is good all the time, Prez!!! We love you and yours, Mac & Bunny

Although I was not very close to Daryll, my memories of him were of " sending the message " " touching lives " and " being a man of his word " . When I lived in Blythe, he did'nt hesitate when I asked him to come to Chuckawalla Prison to share his expierience with the inmates.As a Substance Abuse Counselor and Recovering Person for the past 16 years,I would like to thank Daryll for his huge role in helping so many of us through his message, his actions, and his dedication. My condolences to his family and God Bless.

This world became a better place because of you. Men became fathers, sons and husbands, by following your example and families became whole again.
I take comfort in the knowledge that in so much as this world is diminished by your departure, Heaven will surely be improved by your presence.

Diana Cummins

How wonderful that, instead of insanity, incarceration, or an early death he went on to touch so many people in so many life-affirming ways; he was certainly instrumental in my recovery and I will forever be grateful to him for it! I believe that all the remembrances will actually lift him higher and higher into heaven ;~)...
Dawn, JR, & family, I pray that the memories you shared help you in your time of sorrow; I love you Dawn!
