Deborah, Danielle and the entire Jones family, may it comfort you to know that Darryl (DJ) is in a place that he had prepared for himself. I know this because I observed and emulated his Christian walk for the past twenty plus years. He was tired and needed rest, the type of rest only our Lord and Savior can provide. He loved each of you dearly. His love for you was always evident in his daily walk and talk. Darryl was a “rare bird” who genuinely loved and cared for others. His sincere love and giving was unconditional. Each life he encountered, was made better by his involvement. As I look back over the years, I can honestly say, he made each of us look inside ourselves, find the goodness and accentuate it. He was just as gentle as he was strong and just as refined as he was brute. While working in DOC, there were many uncertain times and events that one encountered, however, DJ’s favorite phrase was “Let’s pray first”. No matter what the situation, he had a way of making you feel and know that everything was all right through prayer. Because he sincerely believed in the power of prayer, we began to follow him and his teachings. DJ has prayed for all of us and in return taught many of us how to pray over the past twenty years. So, to you I say that although you may feel broken and utterly diminished right now, please know that God is the miraculous glue that can hold you together. He can take the shattered pieces and make them fit, he can take the fragmented shards of you life and put them back in place. The pain and loss of DJ will not go away immediately but, the soothing balm of God’s steadfast care and love will help you heal over time. I know that I speak for hundreds his former co-workers when I say that I am sincerely grateful that I had the opportunity to work with and know DJ over the past twent plus years, he was a great big guy who was gentle enough to cry and empathize with others when they were hurting conversely, his mere presence could calm a volatile situation. He loved and made you love him right back. He was my co-worker, my friend/confidant, and my brother. Observing DJ’s life clarifies salvation...He not only knew the WORD, he lived it. May you find it comforting to know that you shall see him again, just continue to trust, believe and live as he did.

Be a blessed family, united in Christ.

To Debra and Family

I was deeply saddened to receive a call informing me that Darryl (DJ) had passed. Darryl was a great man and an even better teacher of the craft, any craft he knew he taught others well.

I was privileged to come under his schooling in three areas and in each one; he exemplified the true meaning of a MAN, BROTHER, and LEADER.

Darryl was very caring and demonstrated a genuine concern for anyone who had cause to encounter him.

I must say I love Darryl as I do my very own siblings, and will miss him immeasurably.

There really are no words that I or anyone could utter that will ease the pain you are feeling. But know that I will keep Darryl and his family in my prayers and thoughts. May God bless and keep you and may you somehow find comfort in knowing he is with God now! Keep him and his memory in your heart and he'll be a part of you forever.

To the Family of Darryl Jones

I want to extend my deepest sympathies on your loss. My good friend Darryl will be deeply missed and it is comforting to know that he is in a better place.

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." (John 14:1-3)
