Darius was a great man and helped me more than words can ever say! He sponsored me for 11 years and I thank God we crossed paths. I am going to miss him so much and I am so grateful for the time he took for me and all the knowledge about life and recovery he instilled in me! He was such a great person to look up too. He was so kind and compassionate. I wouldn’t be the man I am without him! I am going to live my life in a way that he would be proud of. So grateful for the time we had together. His unconditional love and guidance truly changed my life and the lives of those I know! I could never repay him for all he had done. I love him with all my heart and will never forget him! R.I.P.
