Darren’s passion was working in his yard and planting flowers, but particularly, Tulip bulbs. He would be so excited for Spring to come so they would all bloom! His yard looked like it should have been in a magazine. He did, however, win Yard of the Month several times. Another love he had was detailing fine automobiles. He owned and operated D’s Mobile Auto Detailing for the past 20 years. It gave him such pride to transform a dirty car into a sparkling beauty! He was so talented when it came to making things shine and bloom!
When he wasn’t working outside, he would spend all of his extra time with his family. He loved to skydive with Sierra, taking trips with Kellee to Cocoa Beach and taking drives to the country just to get a Carl’s Jr. hamburger. His voice could be heard all the way to the street when he was yelling at the tv during a Cowboys game! Last but not least, he loved going to the casino. His rule was he had to be all by himself, otherwise Kellee and Sierra would jinx him, and he wouldn’t win.
Darren’s Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, February 8th, 1:30-4:30p.m. at Heritage Lakes Clubhouse 3949 Village Blvd., Frisco, TX 75034.
