To all of Darren's family and friends and I know there were many. He was a long time good friend, sorry to hear of his passing. Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences, may he rest in eternal peace. From Lester ~ Lester Turcotte


I was saddened to learn of Darren's passing. He was my neighbour a couple of doors down, and he and Lori were always kind and pleasant to talk with. When we had a huge snowfall right around the time of municipal election in early November 2020, Darren brought out his snowblower and helped several neighbours. ~ Marnie Polansky
