Darren was one of my closest friends. He had an infectious laugh. He was a big dreamer. In his heart Nothing was limited. He would think of ways that no one else would. He without a doubt loved life. I was blessed to know him. There is a huge hole in our lives with him gone. I miss you Darren.

Darren, It's not fare that you were taken from us lime this. Too soon in life. I miss your wise words because you always knew exactly what to say when I needed your help. I miss your spontaneity. You were always the first who was willing to go on a simple midnight adventure or a day trip a few hours away. I miss your hugs, whether they were for a happy reason or a sad one, hugs always made everything better. I miss your selflessness, always willing to drop everything in your life to help someone who was important to you. I miss talking to you about important things, but also the most obscure topics we could think of. I miss your heart because not only were you selfless, but you were generous, kind, and loving to all of those around you. But most of all, I just miss you. Dealing with death is never easy and everyone deals with it differently, but I certainly have had a hard time coming to terms with yours. I never thought that would be something I would have to face, but it is and I have to find some way to accept it, if I ever can. I have so many questions that I will never get the answer to. Why you? Why now? Are you safe? Are you at peace? I so badly want the answers to these because it just doesn't make sense to me that you are gone. I keep expecting you to call me and tell me it was all some sort of sick joke, but you are alive and well. But I know deep down that's not how this is going to work. I think most of all I want you to know You helped me when I needed it and I am forever grateful for that. I truly hope that everyone gets to experience a friend like you. I wish I would have the opportunity to tell you that more. I wish I could've stopped this from happening. I keep going through everything in my head trying to think of ways I could've prevented this from happening, but I know I couldn't have. I wish I had the superpower to turn back time just so I can get one more opportunity to talk to you, tell you everything we all love about you, and tell you how much I appreciate you. You were, and still are, so loved by many. Even though you are not here anymore, you will always be in my heart. You were such a special person and I hope you still know that. I miss you.
