This page is dedicated as a constant reminder of Darren, and how he was a great friend to everyone who knew him, and how he touched all of our lives. For those of you that didn't know Darren, he was killed on Nov. 10 when a tornado flattened his house. He died protecting his two housemates who in turn survived. He's going to be missed by all of us. Anyone who knew him and have some good memories to share are more than welcome to contact me to post it here. Pictures of Darren are also welcomed and much appreciated.
"One of my favorite memories of Darren is when him and I were watching a Cavs-Bulls game at his parents house. It was an old-fashioned great time amongst friends. It's one of many nights I will never forget." -Dan
"I can SO remember the night 6 of us all piled into Darren's van to go to the drive in theater to see Independence Day (Aaron, you should remember this, you were there). We were sitting in front of the van, in back of the van, standing outside of the van, on the roof of the van, we were all over the place. It was great." -Dan
Okay, I had to do this.......
-Pat and Don Smith (known to some of us as Mom and Dad): Thank you for bringing Darren into this world. You raised a wonderful human being. This world would be a MUCH better place if there were more people like Darren in this world. All of us whose lives Darren has touched are forever grateful.
-Aaron Wyandt (sorry if I misspelled your last name): You and Darren were, are, and always will be tighter than most of us could possibly imagine. He may not be there in body, but Darren is always there in our hearts and minds. Don't ever forget that.
-Barry Phipps: I actually met you through Darren. Darren always spoke very highly of you. Alaways remember the times that we were able to share with Darren.
-God: Darren's with You now. Give him a room up there with a view.
-Darren: I KNOW you're watching us up there. Thank you for touching all our lives. Thank you for just being you. You will NEVER be forgotten, old friend.
