Darren was more than just my Brother in law - he was also a great friend! I’ll miss our conversations and his input in everything I went to him for advice on! I relied on him more than I think he knew! He fought such a hard battle and none of us wanted more than for him to get better! I’ll miss ya mate - you’re at peace now! John, Bry, Story & Winter
