    He would always make sure I ate and made sure I was okay at school. I loved going to math class and him always trying to give me a hug and I’d take it every chance I could. He is an amazing kid. He was like my brother and I loved him more than anything in the world. He will always be in my heart. He may be gone but he will never be forgotten.

    Darian, was such a loving and caring guy he was always there for me when I had noone else, he would do that for anyone. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it because he was just that kind of person. He was my best friend and noone will ever take his place. He will be missed dearly♡

    Death can seem so final, but Gods word the Bible gives us a hope. “From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; From death I will recover them. Where are your stings, O Death? Where is your destructiveness, O Grave? Compassion will be concealed from my eyes.” (Hosea 13:14) The pain you feel right now is great, and you may feel as if no one understands, but God understands. He will rescue those who have died and bring them back to life, and he will destroy death. No one will ever die again. The pain death causes will be removed forever. Yes, “where is your sting, O Death?” I am so very very sorry for your loss.

    This is so tragic, I am so very sorry for your loss. There will be a time when death is no more. The Bible makes this promise in Isaiah 25:8- He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, For Jehovah himself has spoken it.
    My sincrest condolences.

    Words can express how heavy my heart feels right now for the family and friends and classmates of Darian. I guess now is a time to reflect on the friendship that he had with his close friends and classmates at school. know that there were so many good times that he had with his close friends and that those memories will never dissipate they will stay strong with each of those kids. God never said it would be easy and it truly isn’t for all of us and Lord knows what was in his heart and his mind and all we can do is support his legacy that he had as growing up and about how devoted and loving he was to his friends and hope to be that of ourselves I pray for the family at this time for peace and comfort and understanding and will continue to do so in the months to come God bless you all.

    I remember when Darian was younger. Darian and my son, Joseph, were best friends. I remember when we took them to the Memphis Zoo and they ran through the big fountain and got all wet even though we told them not too. It was a big laugh. Darian always had a sense of humor and big smile on his face. He may be gone now but he will never be forgotten. I am sure he is up in Heaven looking down upon us.
