On Monday I received a phone call from my brother and received this shocking news. Darren and I since an early age were always together. We were always doing stuff from playing fireman on our bikes to smashing his fathers new fire place with hammers and many many more things, I left Liverpool in my younger years and I have always considered Darren my best friend of all times. I am having a hard time with this but my fond memories of us is what keeps me going. Eugene, Mariah and the rest of the family you have my deepest symphony and please cherish all the memories you have. When I go to work I know I have the best Angel looking over me and keeping me safe. God speed my friend, god speed,,,,,,,missing you..
Brad.

Dear Farquhar Family,
Both Goretti and I taught Darren in Junior High School. He was a quiet, gentle, respectful young man who liked to look after others who needed help. He carried these characteristics into manhood. Years later, I had the privilege of teaching the sunshine of his life, Mariah. Darren showed us that when you really love someone, they will truly turn out the way you hoped. Rest in Peace, Darren.
Sincerely,
Duncan & Goretti MacIsaac

Blake Veinot
I was saddened and shocked by the sudden death of my good friend Darren. I knew Darren from the 10 or so years of working with him at DNR. Darren was a great guy funny and always making you laugh with his comments. We all from DNR were like one big happy family. Some of the best times I remember were the weekends spent at one Dave Smiths cabin. Well Darren heaven has gotten one very good guy and I hope you are at peace. My condolences to all of Darrens family. He will be truly missed.
