I miss you so very much. I miss you coming home every couple of weeks to cut the grass without being asked. I miss going to Cardinal games with you and your brothers. I miss umpiring with you and watching you umpire. You always kept control of things. I visit you every month at least once but usually more. I clean up around you even though it is not usually needed. Just need to do it to make things a little better for you and it makes me feel better. I love you so much. See you later. Love Dad

Darren once played basketball for the Zips basketball team. All of the Zip players had nickname. Darrenen's nickname was BLUE EYES. Helen and I attended a game played at St. Mary Magdalen gym. After the game we were still in the stands watching the teams leave the floor. As Darren was leaving a bunch of young, teenage girls rushed over to Darren and asked for his AUTOGRAPH. They were crowded around him, calling him Blue Eyes. Helen and I laughed and shook our heads in disbelief. WE LOVE YOU DARREN, AND MIISS YOU. Dad and Mom

Darren,
Even though youve been gone it still seems like yesterday you left us.
But the lord had a plan for you up there I suppose.

MY PRECIOUS BABY BROTHER, I could never have imagined how hard living without one of us would be for the rest of us. A big family with big personalities that didn't always mesh. But that never changed the big love we had for one another. In the early years you were like the kid I never wanted, then we became such good friends and partied together as hard as anyone in the 80's and early 90's. Then you had Alexa and you grew up and became a dad to admire for your dedication to ur baby. I wish I had known that Sunday a week before you left us that it was going to be our last time together as a family, so many things I would have told you. But nothing you didn't already know. A piece of our family is gone forever, and though you will never be here again, you are never really far away. I love you so much Darren. Thanks for all the memories. Shelly

Darren
there is a three word phrase that Donna and I say to each other when we want to express our thanks for the smallest of kind gestures between us, that being EVER SO MUCH !!!
the emotions the past year have been numerous, and hard to watch, as your family comes to terms with your passing.
Donna and I could tell the love that you displayed with alexa and your family was a
deep and neverending.
through the years that we have known you
there was that ever present smile and quip
to your parents.
so just to end this message we would like to express that you will always be loved!!!
for EVER SO MUCH
January 19, 2012
I miss you every single day. The sadness is so great and shared by so many. I was blessed from the beginning to have you as my big brother and protector and even more so now as my guardian angel. The pain is matched with the bitter sweet memories. I am so thankful for our bond that was never broken. I will forever miss sharing all the big and small things with you. Your life was amazing. I hope when people think about you they smile more and cry less. I hope we all can try to really live and love this life. Thank you for showing me that you are still around.
I love you big brother.
Forever your little sis
January 16, 2012
To the entire Cox family, especially my BFF Michael. I've been wanting to add a message for some time now, letting all of you know that I am constantly keeping you in my thoughts & praying that you are comforted each time you are together looking at pictures and sharing memories of Darren. As I looked around the Winehaus 12/20/10 and then again on 12/20/11 one year later, it was clear to me that Darren's legacy will live on forever as there are so many people's lives he has touched in one way or another. The stories that were shared both nights would make any Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, Daughter, Friend, etc., beam with pride & glad to have had him in their world. May you always feel blessed to have had so many wonderful moments with him and may you always appreciate each other & each day, as we all know tomorrow is never promised! I feel very fortunate to have known him and I truly hope that he gives each of you a sign from time to time letting you know he is never far away!
Hugs to you all!

Darren: Please bear with me. This is very difficult for me. I waited until the end of the first year so I could be more in control of my emotions. I miss you so very much. I went to St. Gabriel Thursday for a funeral for an 18 year old son of one of your parish friends. It was very difficult to be there because it had so many memories of your passing. I stayed as long as I could then I had to leave. I miss you coming by to cut the grass, and sometines staying for awhile to talk. I miss coming to your house for parties. I miss seeing your name on the umpire roster and calling you for an assignment. I miss seeing you, and your your sisters umpiring at Forest Park and at the barge tournaments. I miss going to the Cardinal game with you and your brothers. I miss not being able to hear your voice on the telephone, nor the cell phone. I miss hearing your voice period. I will always remember seeing you at Barnes on the day you passed away, with nothing on you but a sheet, with nothing showing but your feet and your head. I touched you that day, and kissed your forehead for the last time. I miss you calling me to see if I wanted to go to a basketball or baseball game. I miss you calling me at all. I am so proud of the things I have heard, from so many others, about all of the help you were to friends, relatives and anyone else who needed you. I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. Dad

So we made it through the first year. Last Christmas was a blur of course as we were all in shock. This Christmas was filled with wonderful memories, children laughing, friends and family gathering together once more. We miss having breakfast at your house of course and all the other family events we spent together. We do go on because we are suppposed to but you will never be more than a heartbeat away. Your smile, your laugh, your warmth and your love will live on forever as we are family and nothing breaks that bond. Stay with us, keep us safe and strong and will do the same for Alexa. I love you so much Darren and I miss you even more.
December 21, 2011
Hi Darren,
It's so hard to believe it's been a year sometimes it feels like yesterday and other days it seems like you have been gone forever. I miss you so much Darren, I wish I would have told you how much you meant to me I know you knew it but I should have told you. You made such a difference in our lives, remember the first thing you taught my kids uncle d is the coolest!!! Thank you for being there always for me and for the kids. I will do everything I can to help watch over and protect Alexa and be there for her as much as she needs You were such a good daddy, Alexa is so much like you when I look at her all I see is you. Darren you touched so many peoples lifes and I'm so proud to say I was your sister in law, I love you Darren and miss you so much. Joshua is such a mess without you Darren.

Darren- I can't believe it's been a year. I find myself going to call you and then remember I can't. I talk to you often and know you that even if I can't see your smile, you are with me. I feel so lucky to have know you and am so thankful for the time we spent together and all of the memories. The last time I saw you will forever be in my heart. You are one of the most genuine, caring, selfless people I have ever met. Alexa is just like you in so many ways.
I miss you so much and know that we'll see you again one day...
Lots of love!!

Hey Dare, remember when we all used to call you "Dare dare" Seems that's the way I always think of you still. You and your blonde white hair as a toddler, that wonderful smile of yours always so quick to show itself. How you took such good care of Laurie when she was little until it drove her crazy when she was a teenager. And of course now, how you took such wonderful care of your own baby girl. I REALLY applaud you for the way you stepped up and just did it. Like Nike says. smile. You will never be truly gone to us kiddo ya know. But I am wondering, have you settled in yet? Have you seen some awesome sights? Did you get to see Gar Gar? If so, give her a hug for me. And, oh yeah give yourself a huge hug from your aunt Jody and uncle Ned. Hope to see you in the some time near future. Love you tons buddy
November 16, 2011
Hi Dare. I have not written anything here for a while as I talk to you everyday, but for whatever reason it's harder for me to write,funny coming from a writer, one would think it easier, I know you kids gave me everything I need to write my book last year for my birthday, all I need do is talk to the computer and as yet I have not set it up.still can not get the creative mind set,but I am working on clearing my head,I love and miss you so very much. it's hard to think about writing but maybe you know this,before Tony "left" I ask him to find us a place on the beach so we could all be together, but I had no time to ask you so am asking you now,I really thought I would be the one finding that place for you but God had other plans, so now it is your job,see you in my dreams til then,much love my "baby boy" mom

Hey Darren. It has taken me a long time to write to you on here, but you know why. I miss you. I am very glad to have had you as my little brother. I never imagined we would be separated so soon. I thought we had many more years together. I really cant believe you are there and we are all here. We miss you, but I guess you know that already. I dont think I will ever heal from losing you. Please kid, help Mom and Dad heal. I am so glad I was able to tell you what a wonderful father you were to Alexa, and how proud I was of you and your hard work to give her a wonderful childhood. I would have expected nothing less, since most men father the way they were fathered. I know Alexa feels the same about you that I feel about our Dad. You both did a great job as fathers. I will always love you and miss you. See you on the other side..
September 14, 2011
Hey Darren, I'm getting ready to go to Murray State to visit with your daughter and have her show me around the campus. This should be you going. You earned the right and she would so much rather have you there than me, but sadly that is not possible. I will do my best to take your place while there. I will let her guide me around, I will ask all the right questions and although I will not be able to party as hard as you did, I will try to keep up. Please watch over me as I travel there and back. I will give her an extra long hug from you. Still missing you dearly. I love you. Donna

Darren,
It meant a lot to me in life to just have you as part of our extended family. Now that you are in heaven and watching down on us may you remember the good times, I will. I know that you mom & dad loved each and everyone of you kids and since you death there is a void that is so hard to fill. Know that from you place in heaven, we are here to be by their side. I miss you and hope that you are umpiring or playing in the biggest ball in heaven.

Here I am again. I just received a Thank You card from Alexa regarding her graduation party. Everything seems so strange without you here. I am now and have been out of work for going on 2 months and I wish I had you to talk to about it. I am trying so hard to not get stressed as we know too well what that does to a person. I miss you on the ball fields. I miss stopping by your house to chat.
We are getting ready for the Memorial Golf Tournament in your honor with proceeds to go to Alexa's trust. I know that you will be watching down on us and I know that you will enjoy seeing all of your friends together again. Please keep an eye on Mom and Dad as they are still having such a hard time. Alexa is still struggling too, you two were so close and without you she is a bit lost. Even though you are up there at peace, we are still down here struggling to maintain. Don't forget about us. We love you so much and miss you more than you know.

To the family,
My deepest sympathies to you on your loss of Darren. We all loved Darren so much. It's sad to have lost such a great man. I've known Darren since I was 10 years old. I have so many memories of him. From talking on the phone till all hours of the night when we were kids. Get togethers at Danny and Ellen's house throughout the years, St. Gabe's picnics, but what I most remember is the loyalty that Darren had to the people in his life. I sold him his house. He was my very first client 8 years ago. I stumbled through the entire transaction and never once did Darren consider getting a new agent.He could have went and got a more experienced agent but he stuck it out with me. He was kind and patient throughout the whole transaction. I will never forget it. I miss him and I'm still in shock that he's gone. I still live in his neighborhood and think about him often when I'm running around Francis Park. You should be proud for having such an amazing son, father and brother. He is definitely one of a kind.

I had the pleasure of being the catcher on my co-ed softball team the past three years and got to know Darren in a unique way. We had a great time behind the plate...the first thing i said this past thursday when the new season began when I did not see Darren was I wonder where Darren is not ever imagineing the sad reality. He was a very special guy. i feel blessed having crossed paths with him. My deepest sympathies.

Darren, you don't know me, but I found out about your passing today at the ASA clinic. I gave my condolences to your dad who said you were a marathon runner and suddenly collapsed. I can only try to imagine the sadness your parents and siblings surely feel. And though I didn't know you or what kind of relationship the two of you had, I not only saw the profound sorrow in his eyes, but sensed the deep love in his heart, for you. Words are just not good enough in times like this, but I pray that you be in peace. Amen.

Hi Dare,am I the only one who calls you that? I never intended to write in this as a journal yet I am.Started an album for you put in letters,Mass cards and notes from friends who also miss you,It is hard reading them but then everything is hard these days,see you each day standing with your back against the kitchen sink,talk to you each day,thanks for telling me I would be safe durning the storm,it helped me a lot.Please continue to help me as I need to see and hear you.not really understanding some of the dreams you send me but am working on then to get message right,I will continue to listen for you and thank God (for me) for giving me my lifelong gift of being sensitive to departed energy,until we meet again,your loving mom

January 23, 2011
Hey little brother, as you know we are all attempting to move forward and to be here for each other. I believe that you are with us and watching over us and for this I am very grateful. I really miss talking with you about our children and what paths our lives are taking. I did always enjoy your perspective. I love and miss you more than I thought possible. Becky is trying so hard to make things good for Alexa so if you have any pull up there yet, you might want to send them a little extra blessings. She and Alexa have been amazing through this. Mom and dad are still struggling as well so please don't forget them. I guess when you have a big loving family like the one we have, your work up there will never be finished. We continue to keep the faith and I know that God will stand by us and keep us all strong.
Peace

One night when Darren was 3 I was sitting on the back porch about midnight when he came running to me (after a bad dream) and sat on my lap, the night was still and the sky was filled with stars,he lifted his arms skyward and said "I like the night,it's like everything is mine" a few years later I was reading the great Philosophers and surprized to learn that either Socrates or his pupil Plato,cant remember who, said; When I am alone all belongs to me. The same thing Darren said but in different words.One of my favorite memories of my baby boy.I miss you so much Darren,you will be forever in my heart,mind and soul.loving you,mom.

Hey Darren! I just wanted to take some time to thank you for making me feel so welcomed into the family. I was so scared and nervous to go to Stephanie's wedding when I did not really know anyone there but Brett. And Brett was not even sitting by me. But you made me feel so at ease and talked to me all night. I know I could not have made it through the night without you. I never really got to thank you for that. So, thank you Darren. You are an amazing person that will be missed. Have fun in heaven, but not too much!

Thank you, Darren for all of the times I didn’t say it. You were instrumental in helping me deal with last year. I always knew you were a fun guy, but getting to know the serious and caring Darren was amazing. Looking up and seeing your face when I gathered myself to perform my father’s eulogy touched me beyond what words can express.
I had hoped to get the chance to someday return the favor. Do know that I will never forget you. You taught me not to take myself so seriously and the virtue of doing the hell I wanted. I will never think of the Cardinals, mosaics, emotional debates, Home Depot, Scrubs, St. Pat’s, the words, “Charlie, NO!” without thinking of Darren Cox.
Good bye, good sir.
January 3, 2011
My precious brother, first part of your life you were like my child. Then when you were in your 20's and I in my 30's we became party friends. We always had a good time when you came to Florida and when I came home to visit. We always laughed and I am so happy to have all those memories and pictures of the good times before we became parents. Still we had plenty of good times, just different. You will never know now how much you really meant to me, I hope you left this earth knowing. If not, I'll tell ya when I get there. R.I.P my little baby brother. Bubba (shelly/dawn)

Dear Uncle D, I love you so much. You're passing was...well...insane to say the least. The entire time you were here you were so alive and happy! You knew how to party and it made my life. I love you so much and I am going to miss you like crazy. While the family was greiving I kept thinking "Uncle D is gone, why hasn't anyone broke out the booze yet?" I mean I wouldn't drink but still...it was your life we were celebrating...anyway, I promise I will take care of Alexa, even though she's older than me, I will personally handle anyone who gives her trouble. I love you, and I'll miss you Uncle D.

I still can't believe that I am writing in this book. I am so happy that we are friends as well as siblings. We shared many interest and have daughters the same age so there were many conversations regarding them. You are an amazing dad, son, brother, friend and a loving neighbor. You always put others before yourself and you continue to give even though you have gone home. You will forever be in my heart and memories. Please guide us along as we pick up the pieces. No more worries, just peace for you. We are all taking care of each other and continuing caring for Alexa as you have done for the short 18 years you were given. Tell Tony Tocco hello and if you two take a break from the partying, remember to send a few extra blessings to Mom and Dad. I love you little brother and look forward to seeing you again someday.

I remember umpiring softball alongside Darren. All those big, burley guys and he never lost his cool or his temper. They might try to argue with him, but not much. I remember him smiling all the time and happy. God had a different plan for Darren. He was needed elsewhere. I am looking forward to seeing Darren and all the saints who have gone on before. Maybe today, maybe not. God Bless all the Cox's.. You are in God's warm and safe hands.

Darren was an exceptional guy. He would never pass me at work without at least saying Hi! Although I did not see him daily, he will be greatly missed by me and I'm sure all of his co-workers and friends at work. His love for Alexa was always apparent in every conversion about her.
Love you Darren, be with God and all his angels.

Causing trouble in your neighborhood when I spent the night or you and I riding around at my house checking out the girls. You always had a way to make someone feel good, no matter how grumpy or bummed they were. You set the bar extremely high, forcing us to up our game. Thank you Darren, thank you very much.

Rest in Peace uncle d. You are so very missed. Bonfires and holidays will never be the same again. I have such a vivid memory from childhood of thinking you had magical powers, I can see it like it was today sitting in your car at a stop light on our way back to ghandis you would abracadabra green, the light would turn green. I could figure out how you had that kind of magic! You cared so much for me when I was younger, took such good care of your family its no surprise how wonderful of a father you turned out to be. Alexa is a bright beautiful young woman because of you. I am so sad you will not be here to see her through college and her adult life but I know that you are always watching over her and will make sure she stays on the right path. I Love you very much. you sure did go out like the rock star you were! In your imortal words "peace out freak show"
love always,

My youngest brother is gone from this earth now. He is resting in peace. Although my head tells me this is the goal...to be with God, my heart is breaking. Its aching to speak to him, to lessen the pain for my mom and dad, to give reason to his daughter Alexa for her fathers departure. I pray that our family can find a little of that peace he has now found. Kimmy

Alexa & Family - Darren was such a positive, wonderful influence and male-role model in Andy's life. Andy never wanted to miss practice or a game - he didn't want to disappoint "Coach Cox". Andy and I will never forget all he gave to our family and everything he taught Andy in his love of the game of basketball.
Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with you in this your time of sorrow. Please let us know if you need anything, Alexa.

I ran into Darren over the years at Schnucks or Target, most recently at the Winehaus, we always stopped and spoke for a few minutes, caught up on kids and Gabes and life. He was a happy man and a proud father. I cannot think of a greater compliment!!

Alexa, you are in my prayers. Your dad was so helpful, your freshman year during soccer with helping with transportation and calling when we had all those rain-outs. He even hosted the party for the team and was a major supportor of R-K and the soccer team.

I was lucky enough to have attended high school with Darren, but then we became reacquainted when our daughters entered kindergarten at St. Gabriel 13 years ago. We coached the girls in soccer for seven years. He was an excellent mentor and role model for the girls and he was a loyal friend to all. We will miss Darren. God bless and watch over Alexa.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Cox family. I knew darren for 20 years and he was as unselfish a person as I have ever met. He was always willing to do anything for anyone. He certainly loved his daughter Alexa. He was driving by my place about 6 weeks ago and he stopped to brag about her. We will miss him so much. Brian & Megan McKenna

He leaves behind legions of friends & so many good memories. I hope in time you can find some comfort in them & in knowing how very much he loved - loves- you all. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Darren was a friend and mentor to myself and the rest of the kids on Connecticut in the 80's. He was the cool older guy that would toss the football or play catch and was a good role model for us. He actually gave me one of my first jobs hanging at the arcade up the street. He taght me a very important skill in life...How to make a proper hot ham & Cheese sandwich. Darren I won't ever forget that man!
