Darron Willie Singleton JR.

Darron Willie Singleton Jr., affectionately known as "Little D", was born on December 12, 2000 to the proud parents Tausha Lachelle Broadnax and Darron Willie Singleton Sr. at Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, CA. He grew up in a loving family and attended Rowan Elementary School, O'Farrell Middle School, and graduated from Samuel F. B. Morse High School in June of 2019.
Darron's early years were filled with adventure and exploration. He grew up with a deep love for the outdoors spending many cherished hours with his father fishing, riding motorcycles in the desert, and going to the batting cages. Darron also was an avid athlete. He played baseball, football, and basketball for various leagues and communities in San Diego County.
Darron played basketball for Skyline Recreation Center. Darron played baseball for Paradise Hills Pony and Encanto Leagues from 2005-2014. In 2011, Darron Sr. won a raffle and received an exclusive all expense free trip to attend Super Bowl XLV (45). He gifted Darron Jr. with the trip which was the highlight of his 10-year-old life at the time. He played Pop Warner football for Skyline and Los Toros. His passion for sports earned him an "All Star" team selection and championship titles. He played defense for Morse High School football team.
Darron was a lover of the arts as he would rap and sing like many others in the family. You could sometimes find him writing lyrics and listening to music. He dedicated his time to ensuring safety by working security and assisting moving companies with furniture relocation. He also was continuing his education at Mesa College in San Diego, CA.
Darron was called home to rest on September 18, 2024. Though his time with us was brief, his passion, big smile, and laughter will be carried forward by those who were blessed to know him. He was preceded in death by his mother Tausha, grandfathers Ezell Singleton and Hilliard Broadnax, paternal great grandparents Geraldine and Melvin Tate, and Clarence and Xenobia Remble.
