• I knew Darren in Junior high and then we worked together for many years. Who else could make the most inane job seem like it was a gas! Then con you into helping him do it! Thinking of you crawling through the attic at Bonanza and falling through the ceiling onto the front line still makes me chuckle. You made us all laugh with your crazy phrases and nick names. Have thought of you, and your family often throughout the years. Mrs. D. Jeff and Glenn so sorry for your loss. Tamika I hope you have your father's laughter and spirit, as he brought so much joy to so many. (Barbie) - Posted by: Barb Lippens-Thevenot (Old Friend/Co-worker) on: Aug 21, 2013

• I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Deac. He was well known in high school, just one of those guys that got along with everyone. I first got to know him in Grade 11 in Drama Class. Mr. Reason, the drama teacher (otherwise, known as the Absent Professor) really took a shining to Darren and saw talent in him, and really worked with him to get him into the plays and acting. He and I were in a 2 person play together, and we laughed so much during our rehearsals. He often came over to my house for lunch (kraft dinner) and we always laughed our heads off. He was a great spirit, full of energy and fun. Although I haven't seen him for many, many years, those are the memories that stand out for me. I send condolences to his family during this very difficult time. - Posted by: Tracy Proutt (nee Smith) (Friend from high school) on: Aug 16, 2013
