Hey bud. The neighborhood clan misses you still to this day. I bought my first motorcycle today and think of you everytime I ride it. Thank you for teaching me how to ride so many years ago. We miss you so much friend. Say hi to our other angels up there.
"I am so lost for words to express my deepest sympathy. In January my son Dalin passed away and Daren came to the viewing to support me. He had never met my son. It meant so much to me that he took the time to come to the viewing to support me and my family. He was an amazing man, friend and co-worker. I will miss him dearly. Rest in peace my Friend. You will be forever in my heart.
Blessed Be,
Gaylyne Sims-Washington
Words can't express how much you will be missed. We'll meet again, and when we do we'll have great times just like we used to. Great friendships last forever. Our love and prayers to you and your family.
Zaybri's and her dad went to the Utah Softball Games all the time together, she got invited to go meet the team yesterday and watch them practice, the team signed a picture of her dad that she can keep as a memory forever. I'm so thankful I can make special memories for her with her daddy. I love you baby girl we got this. Stay strong. Well get through this together. Love mom.
There are people in your life, as Insignificant as it may seem, help to thread the person you have become. Daren is one of those people for me. With a kind heart, he was there for me in a time when I really needed someone to be. I appreciate the person he was, a silly warehouse guy with a goofy smile, coming to my line at Dannon to chit chat and introduce himself. Then for life to set in, and this same person to be a shoulder, someone to listen when that's all you I needed. I appreciated every conversation, every smile. :) Daren was a good man, with a good heart. I remember the dance of accomplishment that shown through, as Hetransformed from a novice to an expert, in his field of work. He was someone I admired for his determination. A supportive shout out, when my daughter was missing and he wanted me to know he was there, a friend in time of need. Someone who have significance in such a trying time of my life, when I went through a seperation and divorce. I appreciate our conversations, reassurance, that rang through and made me the successful woman I am today. You touched my heart, Daren. Sending all my love to up above, you are my inspiration Daren, just like I always said. :) Your legacy will live on in your daughter, and the ol clan at Dannon. Never forgotten and always missed. -Annie
