Darren Kaye, age 54, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on July 20, 2025.

Known for his sharp wit and sense of humor, he brought joy and laughter to those around him. He was a hardworking professional who was deeply passionate about his career. Darren's dedication to his clients often blossomed into lasting friendships. Outside of work, Darren loved nothing more than spending quality time with his family-whether on vacations, at dinners out, or managing his fantasy football teams.
