In his current position as a Utilities Supervisor, he was an integral part of the organization and a valuable asset to the community around him. His love for his family especially for his children was beyond unconditional. They were the light of his eyes. He was so very proud of everything they did and all of their accomplishments. To Darren, his friends were his family. There was never a stranger in his presence. He was the one that would always reach out to you at just the right moment, whether it was a phone call, text message, snap chat, cup of coffee, or to join him for a drink or dinner. He had a way of knowing when you were in need of these gestures. Darren gave more love to his family and friends than most can say in a lifetime. Darren's upbeat personality made him a bright spot to all that came in contact with him. His contagious smile seemed to brighten everyone's day and he never met a person he didn't want to have a conversation with, which created numerous worldwide friendships especially within the community and throughout Colorado & Wyoming.
