I knew Darien, albeit from a distance, for about 14 years. He always had a ready, genuine smile, even though he absorbed some of the hardest blows life can deliver. That was admirable. He will be missed.
I worked with Darien when he was a student at Lettie Dent. He could make me smile one minute and furious in the next. Darien was one of a kind and is gone way too soon. My condolences and prayers to his family.
My deepest sympathies to the family. My heart goes out to you. We simply cannot prepare enough for the pain of losing a loved one. It is even more so difficult when a young loved one dies unexpectedly. I hope that you find comfort in knowing that the “God of all comfort” is near to the brokenhearted (2 Cor 1:3,4; Psalm 34:18). God’s inspired word also promises one day pain, suffering and death will be no more, rather there will be a resurrection of the dead with righteous ones living forever in peace on the earth (Rev 21:4; John 5:28,29; Psalms 37:11, 29). I hope these promising thoughts provide some solace along with the precious memories you shared.
