Condolences
Darren truly changed the life of our family. When Mark began his career with Darren I was about due with our first child. From the get, Darren made sure Mark knew that family came first, always. A luxury we hadn't experienced before. Over the years, Darren's, connection with our family grew. We called him a friend, not just an employer. We were welcomed by Mars and Syd into their home, and them into ours. Our shared love of wine and food gave Darren and me common ground to bond, which eventually turned into debates and spars which we both loved. I will miss your quick wit, Darren, and your kind heart. I am forever grateful to you for providing a safe space for my family to grow and thrive, the compassion and mentorship you gave Mark, and all the laughs.
Having only known Darren for a short 4ish years, the impact that he had on myself and my family was beyond words.
Darren and I took part in a weekly D&D session for the last four years, meeting every Sunday....or at least close enough to it. In that time I feel like I got to know Darren's true intentions. Darren would without a dought in his mind throw himself forward sacrificing himself if it ment his friends and loved ones would go un-harmed. I feel like I got to see a very special side of him and I will cherish that for years to come.
Darren and his family where always eager to open thier home to myself and my family. Having moved to Calgary, Darren was always happy to have my wife and I over for holiday dinners if we found ourselves in and around Airdrie. This was always a treat as Darren's passion for cooking was only second to his passion for a good glass of wine.
He will be missed, but always remembered.
I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this for four days now and haven’t even come close. Darren’s obscenely early loss is an almost unbearable blow to everyone who knew him well. My deepest sympathies go out to his family, especially his beautiful wife and daughter. I wish you all peace and comfort in this tragic time of grief.
Sending my deepest condolences to the entire family. Darren's humor and quick wit along with his zest for life was felt by everyone who knew him. He will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed. He was a wonderful friend and colleague and I will cherish the me.ories shared over the years. May peace and solace be with all at this difficult time.
