Darren was a mechanic for most of his life. He could often be found in the garage tinkering with his automobile and truck projects. He was also an automobile painter and enjoyed fixing up and repairing old cars to sell to people who were in need. His engineering skills allowed him to fix anything. There was no problem that Darren couldn't figure out.

Darren enjoyed spending time with family and friends. He loved to share his knowledge with anyone who could use it. He also enjoyed watching movies and documentaries whenever he got a chance.

Darren stood up for what he felt was right and was always there for anyone that needed a helping hand or just a shoulder to lean on. He had a great sense of humor with an infectious laugh that was unforgettable.
