Daren swung for the fence. He worked in the store, he was a
Fire Chief, he decided to be a nurse and went thru with it, he had a passion for photography and made it happen. He loved his family and was kind to strangers. He was too young to go but he squeezed everything he could into his years that he did live. I am happy and proud to have know him and it inspires me to think of him.
XO,
