Since seeing your smile in the paper this morning, which again tore my heart apart, I´ve dedicated the entire day listening to your beautiful voice, seeing your smile, and the gigs you did with bradda Moke. You´re quite a comedian. I love you so much but know that I will see you again in Heaven. Time to sing for Father God, Jesus and all His Angels

Darren,
I will surely miss you. Your handsome smile, gentle Spirit, and God given beautiful voice, and humor. My heart is
so broken, to think that I will never have the chance to see or hear you again, until I see you again in Glory
My condolences to all the Ohana ....
God´s Blessings To All Of You..
Shalom
