Darryl you will always be in my heart. You taught me how to use my computer. You also tried to advise me on how the stock market works. You was an advisor on life in general. I will always remember when you began to work in your career the first major purchase you made was to purchase our mother a beautiful house. I would tell you all the time how proud I was of you. I can go on and on but most of all you loved your family and we loved you. You will be in our hearts FOREVER.

Missing you,
I Have always been proud to say that he was my brother, He taught me what it meant to be a Starks To carry the Starks name with pride and dignity, At the age of 12 I got into a fight and became afraid so I ran, He found out about it And call me out on it, He said I heard you ran from a fight, I responded by saying there were 3 or 4 of them, He said we are Starks, we don't run from anyone, Tomorrow we're going back around there and you're going to fight them all one at a time, And he went and knocked on each of their doors and called them out to fight, thank God only one of them wanted to fight, and I was able to win that fight, but I never ran are became afraid ever again because of what my brother Darryl taught me that day.

Our Brother Darryl
Is Not Gone...
Although we are grieving, our brother Darryl is not gone, for in our hearts, his memory will always live on.
From this day on, we will find comfort in remembering, his infectious smile, his hardy laugh and appetite, but definitely his unique Gemini personality.
Our brother Darryl is not gone, for we will feel his presence often, as we remember many priceless times shared together as siblings.
Our brother Darryl is not gone, for it will be his face that we will see, when were in need of company.
We love you Darryl, but you are not gone, for we know that you love us and will always be with us, unseen, unheard and always in our hearts... But Never Gone.
Melba, Joseph, Terry, Etta Rae and Stanley
