I had no idea that Darren had passed away. I dropped him an email a few minutes ago as we'd not caught up for ages. got a bounce back which I thought was odd. Googled and this page came up. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. A genuinely lovely man. You meet all sorts in business, and he was one of the absolute best. Will be very sadly missed. Best wishes to his family. Rob.

So sorry to hear that Darren has passed away. I've known him for about 10 years through business networking and he was always so lovely.

Darren, words don't do justice to the contribution you have made to so many people and businesses. Your kindness, modesty, humility and compassion will always be remembered. I loved working with you and brainstorming our next big launch or idea. Your legacy lives on in your team and they're already making you proud (we can see you smiling up there)! With love to Gary and your parents, and all your family and friends x

A warm, kind generous man. Always had time for us. Always had a smile. Always had a gentle self deprecating charm that made being in his company such a pleasure. So much more than a work colleague but a person who was a joy to be around. We will miss you. Much love to you, Gary and those closest to you. Tavia and Ash xx
