Darren loved the outdoors. He was an avid fisherman and enjoyed gardening with his Dad and brother more than anything else in the world. Golfing was his sport of choice as well as Drone flying. He was a smart, hands on person. A real curious tech person that would tear things apart just to figure out how they worked. If someone had an issue with electronics, Darren was your man. His favorite holiday was the Fourth of July as he loved fireworks. He was always thinking of others before himself. His heart was bigger than you could imagine. He enjoyed spending time with his family. Darren spent sometime in Florida but eventually made it back to Michigan where he called home. His wonderful smile and witty attitude will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
